The Reason for Everything
The Reason for Everything
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV)
Here's How We Got Started
Mission Impact
Was founded in July of 2004 by a group of seasoned North American missionaries and local Guatemalan Christians with a common purpose, “that God would be glorified by our lives and ministries as we work to build His Kingdom in Guatemala through various long-term projects focused on making disciples of Jesus Christ.”
Our original founding partner ministries had a major emphasis in the area of Christian education and discipleship. Our doctrine is evangelical and our scope of ministry is to grow and bless the believers and to reach the lost that don’t know Christ through our actions and our words.
Our Mission Impact, Inc. legal status is that of a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization with our corporation’s statues and by-laws registered in the State of Wisconsin.
