Impact Ministries Canada

An update from Les:

So good to see the community praising Him through the storm . . . this photo is from a few days ago when our teachers prepared and delivered relief and also prepared children's ministry at four evacuation sites Please pray for protection for these communities as the winds and rain have picked up again

If you've been hearing Guatemala mentioned in the news . . . here's an update from Les about what's happening:

Can you imagine these floors under half a meter of water? Today for #SponsoraChildSaturday, we’re featuring two cousins who live next door to each other and whose houses were both flooded by the recent storms. Deysi (on the left) and Alma (on the right) evacuated to their Grandpa’s house until their families could dig channels to drain the water and clean up the mud. Deysi and Alma are both students at our Agua de Vida Chijulhá school. Will you help us find a sponsor for both... of them? Sponsor Deysi: https://impact.sponsorsoft.ca/program/get_student/4169 Sponsor Alma: https://impact.sponsorsoft.ca/program/get_student/3890

In the midst of everything, the Vida Children's Home has welcomed a new little 4-pound bundle of joy! Pray that we love him well for however long we have him

Any of our teams remember Francisca? She was one of our hospitality workers (and a former Vida student!). She's volunteering with the first responders who are continuing to evacuate families. Please continue to pray - the hillsides are saturated, it has started to rain again, and people are worried that Iota is on its way. Thank you for your prayers!

Here's a few photos of the relief delivery that Les referenced in his video yesterday - including the lake that used to be a village
