Family
Ruth is married to Walter, who oversees Impact construction projects. They have two teenage children who also step in to serve in translation roles as needed.

My Impact Story

My first mission trip to Guatemala was as a Grade 10 student at Kamloops Christian School – and I returned more than a dozen times before making Guatemala my home. In 2001, my Mom (Rita Peters) invited me to teach English at the first Impact Ministries school for a year. I came with a round-trip ticket – but in that year, I met and married my husband Walter (who was the principal of the school) and our family has been serving Impact Ministries together ever since.

There’s so many roles we’ve filled at Impact Ministries over the years – we’ve worked with teams, organized home visits, taught English and Spanish, provided marriage counselling, supervised work projects, served in Church ministry, cooked team breakfasts, . . . maybe it’s easier to talk about what we didn’t do.

Today, Walter primarily oversees the special projects of Impact Ministries – such as the construction projects – while I coordinate the Impact Sponsorship Program, oversee the Impact Ministries Clinic, and help with financial administration. Together we continue to serve in the ministry of the Rio de Vida church. Our children – teenagers now – also help by translating for teams.

We know our family has been called to serve in Tactic through Impact Ministries, and we’ve been excited to see how the ministry has grown.
