IMPACTOnetwork Year in Review

At the end of the year it's common to reflect back on what has been accomplished.  God has done so much through the IMPACTOnetwork church planting project this year.  We are so thankful for your prayers and support that made it possible.  Here's a snap shot of you helped achieve in 2018!

---

JANUARY
We focused on preparing everything for AVANZA, our assessment event.  We planned and printed all month long with all of our teams focused on making this first time excellent.

​FEBRUARY
All the time invested in January paid off as AVANZA was a huge success at the beginning of February.  7 couples participated in the event as well as the whole IMPACTOnetwork team and 6 external observers.  From this assessment we chose our first church planters and residents!

​MARCH
IMPACTOnetwork hosted a 3 day ​Discipleshift seminar where 3 men from the States taught about intentional disciple making.  We had participants from local churches as well as students from the Universidad Cristiana de Mexico UCM (Mexico Christian University).

​APRIL
​The IMPACTOnetwork team spent the month working on pre-launch plans for La Viña.  Development of  ministry teams, lots of purchases and planning the launch service were part of what was achieved. 

​
​MAY
On May 20, Iglesia Cristiana La Viña was launched with almost 150 in attendance!!  Launch Sunday was a festive time and the momentum continued the following Sundays in its regular meeting place, the IMPACTOnetwork offices.

​

​JUNE
The Klein family arrived in Querétaro to serve in their roles with the Church Planting Residency program and service groups.  We are so glad to have them here!

​
​JULY
​At the end of the month, the Rodríguez family and Malle Sánchez represented IMPACTOnetwork at the National Christian Convention.  Héctor met with Mexican pastors about their role in urban church planting and partnership with IMPACTOnetwork. 

​AUGUST
The Church Planting Residency Program began with our first Resident family and five senior year students from UCM. 

​SEPTEMBER
Iglesia Cristiana La Viña held its first church picnic on September 16, Mexico's independence day.  Food was eaten, soccer was played, and a great time was had by all. 

​OCTOBER
IMPACTOnetwork held 2 workshops for church leaders about the legal process for registering a church or ministry.  We had participants from different churches and ministries from 3 different states. 

​NOVEMBER
The search for future church planters ended for the 2019 AVANZA assessment event.  Of the candidates that were going thru the recruitment process, the team decided to invite 4 couples to AVANZA in February 2019.

​DECEMBER
Iglesia Cristiana La Viña signed a 5 year contract for a rental space!  The first event held there will be a Christmas program Tuesday December 18 and Sunday services will begin there December 23.  Pastor Gerardo and his family will move to Querétaro at the end of the month.

The IMPACTOnetwork team is incredibly grateful that God has opened so many doors and allowed us to serve the church and impact Querétaro through church planting this year.  Your participation makes it possible!  Thank you for the prayers offered on our behalf and all the financial gifts that you've given.  We wouldn't be able to reach Querétaro and México for Christ without you.  May God abundantly bless you!
