1/4/2022 Blessed New Year 2022!As 2021 came in with hopes and challenges, so does it end. 2021 saw, the first year anniversary with our newest IMPACTO church, El Ancla (The Anchor Church), has grown to reach close to 70 at Sunday worship. Amazing! For a church that began online during the pandemic. They jumped over many hurdles including shepherding members from virtual meetings to in-person church and after a few more months opening Ancla Kids, the children’s area. We enjoyed being present for the 9 baptisms at the Anniversary service. La Viña Church, which is our home church when in Mexico, was the IMPACTO'S first church plant in Queretaro. It has been a joy for us to experience as we see them maturing into a unified team with clear goals and purposes for the upcoming year. Challenges persists for them as they want to reach a new goal for multiplying and growing during this still difficult time. December and January permitted us to join with these church leaders in their yearly evaluations and planning retreats. God is moving in big ways and he allows us to share in these special times as mentors.
We also want to let you know that New International continues to grow and reach more and more communities around the world. We are so proud to be a part of this professional mission group. Tell you more about that in the next update! We praise God for you all, who have made our ministry possible!
