New Year, New Resources, and New Believers

IMPACTOnetwork church planting has some new resources for church planters and leaders.  New team members, Mickey and Mayan, are hosting a weekly podcast interviewing Christian leaders about different topics.  So far, four episodes have been released with members of the IMPACTO team, as well as with Jaime Castro, Director of Mexico Christian University with whom we partner.  These have the goal of providing information, insight and encouragement to church planters and leaders.  It also serves as another point of contact for people who are considering enrolling in the residency program. The podcast can be found by searching for "MásIMPACTO" on Apple podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

El Ancla started the year off right with two baptisms! -- and --- made the decision to follow Christ and submitted to Him in baptism. Church Planter Andrés García and his team are excited to see God moving already in big ways in 2022.  They look forward to see how He continues to work in El Ancla and the unchurched El Mirador neighborhood.

La Viña ended 2021 with a solemn candlelight Christmas Eve service.  In Mexico, families gather to celebrate Christmas on the 24th at night.  Because of that, it is not common for churches to have Christmas Eve celebrations. Since its beginning, La Viña has had a Christmas Eve service that has been growing each year.  Berenice, whose family is usually out of town at Christmas time, commented on the beauty of the service.  She said "I can't believe we've missed this every year!"  Many others who gathered at La Viña on Christmas Eve for the first time expressed their gratitude for a time to center on Christ before celebrating Christmas with the family.

IMPACTOLatino is only able to serve in Mexico because of your generous giving and prayers.  We are truly grateful for your partnership that enables us to plant churches and transform lives.  We ask that you would be praying for Eric Duggins as he begins treatment for a cancerous tumor on his liver.  The doctors have given him an optimistic prognosis but appointments and treatment will be stressful.  Thank you for lifting him and Dee up to the Great Physician.
