Support A Class

The Challenge

Current child sponsorship is no longer sufficient to cover the costs of all the services we provide to a student. This has been compounded by the low Canadian dollar and mandated increases in salaries and benefits by the Guatemalan government.  So we have embarked on a Support A Class Program.  
Recent statistics say that over 80% of Christians make the decision to follow Christ before the age of 18. Children are a priority to Jesus, and they need to be a priority to us! For this reason Impact Ministries focuses on training children to know the Lord, become the witnesses in their own homes, and the leaders of the next generation.
Picture
Why is this program needed? 
  • Child Sponsorship support only covers 67% of current expenses, compounded by the low Canadian dollar
  • Without this program we may be forced to close schools and can't respond to new requests to open additional schools, leaving children without access to an education
  • Our staff, who are acting as national missionaries, work at incredibly low monthly offerings; we see how they are sacrificing for the sake of the Gospel and consequently suffering,
  • We are at a critical point in our ministry. Ministry is always more about the people than the programs. If we lose people because they don't make enough to survive, that is the largest loss that we can incur.

The Opportunity

Prayerfully consider how you too can become involved in:
  • Supporting an entire class of students
  • Joining 1,000+ child sponsors to raise up a new generation of leaders by Supporting A Class
  • Watching the class grow and develop as they advance through school
  • Getting communication from your cohort of students twice each year
  • Your class of students praying for you!
  • Knowing that you are helping build the next generation
    of leaders

We need at least 10 class supporters giving $50/month ​for each class in our schools.

Read why Bill & Debra C. Support A Class!

We are so blessed and love sponsoring Loida our sponsor child with Impact Ministries. On our trip to Guatemala this past August our biggest impression was the Guatemalan teachers and leaders. Every school we visited we paid extreme attention to these young men and women. They are obviously blessed and led by GOD! When we heard about the “Support a Class” project it felt like a perfect way to live out Ezra 10:4 and say to these young teachers and leaders “Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it! – Ezra 10:4” We want to help these teachers be able to guide their young students in the classroom, who in turn will lead their families to the Lord. To us this project feels like an extension of sponsoring an individual child, and we believe that the impact felt in Tactic and the surrounding communities will continue to multiply!  – Bill & Debra C.

The Results

Picture

​Impact Ministries mission is training Guatemalans for leadership by teaching Biblical principles in such a way that they become integrated in their lives and effect spiritual change in their society.

For the last 15 years the ministry has worked tirelessly, and by God's grace and the support of many, the first generation of leaders are READY! Selvin was a student in our school and is now a vice principal in the Chamche school. Currently, over 40% of the staff are former students.

The Future

In the future as funding is available we desire to:
  • Improve the feeding program, increasing the amount of protein provided in each meal to help the students grow and develop
  • Enhance the education by increasing the amount of textbooks and classrooms supplies to aid the students academic achievement
  • Enhance the facilities like computer and science labs to prepare students to engage with technology to prepare them for this ever changing world
