In Guatemala, Easter week is an enormous deal! Everyone is out of school and many are off work. Many use the week to reflect on Jesus’ arduous sacrifice and miraculous victory over death.
As we prepare our hearts for this week we would like to leave some Praises and Prayer Requests for you to bring before God on our behalf.
Praises
- We praise God for the reminder this week brings. We should always be grateful for Chirst’s death and resurrection, but it is nice to have a special time of rememberance every year.
- We thank God and our amazing supporters as our Impacto International Headquarters are coming along great!
- We are so grateful and humbled by all the teams that have ministered alongside us so far this year. They all do a wonderful job in supporting not only the community but our staff as well.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.”
Isaiah 53:5-6
Prayer Requests
- Join us in prayer as we continue to share the gospel, disciple, plant, water, and harvest for the Kingdom of God. This has and always will be our priority.
- Our staff continues with full-time ministry efforts even when there are no teams here. Therfore, we ask that you please pray for wisdom, energy, focus, and for us to be filled with the Fruits of the Spirit so that we may continue to minister to our community.
- Please continue to pray for protection for our staff. Pray for physical protection as well as spiritual, mental, and emotional protection. Pray for protection against temptation against ill wishes and actions, against wrong decisions and anything else that is not a reflection of Christ.
