FROM THE FOUNDER
This year 2016 is already off to an amazing start! In Global Impact we have had many exciting things happening the last few months. Enjoy the newsletter and thank you always for your support.


PHILIPPINES CHRISTMAS OUTREACHES
"Bless Our Neighborhood"
In Davao City, Philippines, Global Impact's School Of Leadership interns visited 22 households in our community to bless each family through greetings, Christmas carols, and raffle prizes. They also brought gifts to the men and women serving at the Bureau of Fire Protection and Police Station. It was a delight to see their smiles and gratitude as they received their Christmas gift packs!

Impact Club Christmas Parties

Impact Club celebrated the Christmas season with the children from local elementary schools. 350 children from all grade levels were served. The children were excited to receive Christmas gifts and participate in fun games. In addition, we conducted a presentation that taught them how to be safe from the dangers of human trafficking. The event was also attended by parents and teachers.

Christmas Outreach at Central Baugan, Talaingod

Pastor Amy was the first "foreigner" in history welcomed this past Christmas by the Indigenous Peoples community of Central Baugan, in the hinterlands of Talaingod, Davao Del Norte!

Braving the rough and unpredictable paths to the community, Pastor Amy and the Global Impact Team brought good tidings and shared God's love with more than 160 families living in dire poverty. This community is generally unreached and under-served by the government's basic social services and is the pilot Indigenous People community of Global Impact in its various programs.

UKRAINE CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION

Christmas and New Year's at our Orphanage in Ukraine were a wonderful time as we also celebrated the 4 year anniversary of Living Pearl Children's Home with a visit from Pastor Amy. Thanks to your giving, the children all received Christmas gifts and a Christmas party in celebration of the birth of our King!

Freedom! Philippines - Fight Human Trafficking

Observance of the International Day Against Trafficking In Persons by the IACAT XI Network.

Living Pearl  Children's Home Ukraine - 2nd story addition
Our 2nd story addition is looking great! We continue to move forward with the finishing touches including furnishing the interior! Being able to house more orphans, more neglected and abandoned children is such a blessing and we are so thankful for seeing God's hand in this project at every step!


Now that we have the room for more children, we are believing God to bring in the monthly financial support that is needed to care for them!

If you have a heart to be 'adoptive parents' to these children from afar, we need you! ANY monthly amount will help! Your monthly donation will help pay for things like heat, lights, food, medical needs, toiletries and household items that are all needed to operate the home.

If you are interested in becoming a monthly sponsor to our Ukraine orphanage, you can do so online here:
