Your support enables a class of children in Guatemala to receive an academic education and be taught to know and love the Lord!
An investment of $50/month resources a class in Guatemala to provide the best education possible!
What does my support provide?
In the rural areas of Guatemala, more than 75% of Indigenous people live in poverty. Many Guatemalan children don’t complete elementary school. At a Vida school, Christian teachers – many of whom were once Vida students themselves – are personally involved in your students’ lives on a daily basis. Our leaders, teachers and support staff provide godly role models to help the children in your class know the Lord and become all that He intends for them to be!
Your investment of $50/month helps break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy for the children in your class. Your support will help the children receive:
- resources to provide the best education possible
- Christian discipleship and mentoring
- healthy nutritious meals and vitamins to help them learn better
- a welcoming environment with appropriate facilities
- care from teachers who support them holistically
Sponsoring a class is also the best way to support the Vida teachers as they come alongside the students in our schools to teach, mentor and disciple.
(some of these services are also funded through other gifts to Impact Ministries)
Your class will also be blessed by your prayers and encouragement!
Impact Ministries is looking for 10 supporters for each class in Guatemala. You can follow your class throughout their education in our Vida Schools, although classes do merge, especially during transitions from elementary school to junior high, and junior high school to the senior high teacher training program
