Give now - Chisac ii

History of the Project

While the Impact Ministries North American staff were exhibiting at mission conferences and attending Friends of Impact Ministries events in the fall of 2014, an amazing opportunity surfaced in Guatemala. A 20-acre piece of land adjacent to the Chisac property became available for purchase!

This property is an amazing opportunity to expand the ministry with many advantages. This property would:
    - become the location of the new orphanage project
    - double growing capacity of current agricultural project
    - provide breathing room for the successful sustainability initiative.

  Also, this property provides some savings by allowing us to:
    - use existing utilities and infrastructure such as site access via the completed bridge and road
    - use of the 125,000-gallon water tank for domestic water and crop irrigation
    - eliminates 2,000 feet of separating cement wall

A fundraising campaign was quickly organized.  A number of generous donors committed $74,000 of the funds we need for this purchase. We needed to raise another $165,000 to acquire the property by the end of March 2015!  A small group of donors pooled $55,000 for a 1:2 matching campaign in both Canada and the USA. For every two dollars donated towards Chisac II it was matched with one dollar of matching funds for a grand total of $165,000 which covered the remaining funds needed!!

Please consider coming alongside the young leaders of Guatemala who share a vision for leading their people to Christ! The ability to purchase this property is a significant building block in God’s work in Guatemala. Your additional gifts will allow the development and expansion to begin on the new property!
