IMPACT Central America

A Legacy in Central America

Over 10 years we have seen thousands of people saved and transformed by the power of God in Costa Rica! Our teams of youth, college students and families minister to the community and build up the local church. Ministry includes outreach in high schools and working alongside pastors and leaders to develop effective youth and children’s programs. This year we will also be conducting an evangelism crusade in Honduras.

Pastor Dennis from Costa Rica

From Pastor Dennis and Jenury Rosales

Pastor, Maranatha Revival Church, Limon, Costa Rica

Hello, I am pastor Dennis Rosales. I just want to say we have known this wonderful couple, Pastor Duane and Melonie Erickson for more than 10 years now.

From the day we meet, there was like a connection between us and since then they have been coming to Limon, Costa Rica with their team to work alongside us in our city.

They have been coming for all these years and have not asked for anything.  Instead, they alway give to us by helping, loving and ministering the word of God to our lives through their team.

They have been a great blessing not only to our local church but also to our community in so many ways:

  1. Teaching how to do evangelism in the streets and barrios.
  2. Working with the youth of our church in dangerous barrios to reach other youth.
  3. Teaching the way to use puppets to bless the children.
  4. Teaching dramas for street ministry.
  5. Visiting high schools in the city to preach the word of God.
  6. Bringing toys, computers, clothing and many other things to bless our community.
  7. Donating money to our local vision.
  8. Bringing a fresh word to our congregation every time they come to Limon.
  9. Helping in humanitarian outreaches that bring relief to families.
  10. Always willing to help us in whatever we need.

Many families, youth and children have come to know the Lord Jesus Christ because of the obedience of this couple.

But above all, they share their love by loving us with the love of Jesus and showing us how important we are as children of God.

And because of that, we have experienced growth in many different areas of our ministry.  We have grown in the knowledge of what is required to bless our people and establish the kingdom of God in our city. Our youth also have learned how to reach other youth.

We learned how to train and how to organize different activities and outreaches as well as how to mobilize the youth of our church.

God bless Pastor Duane and Melonie Erickson and their team for been such a great blessing for us and our community all these years.

Testimony from France

From Marc Ghioldi

Youth Pastor, Eglise la Bonne Nouvelle, Nice, France

IMPACT youth camps were such a blast in our lives.

During 10 years, those teams coming from the USA under Pastors Duane and Melonie’s leadership invested prayer, time, money and sweat to change french teens’ hearts and challenge them to go further-deeper wit God. They also gave us such a great inspirational exemple.

Results are still visible. Of course some of us turned away along the road (even if they are still speaking about great memories), but so many are now firmly grounded in the Lord, serving (and sometimes leading) in their churches, and enjoying a blessed life in all areas.

From the four points of France and Switzerland, destinies have been changed and so many exemples could be given of those who, having left satan’s kingdom, are now  :

  • free from drugs, addictions and a poor self image
  • married before God and growing kids in their own Christian family (the first in their lineage)
  • leading whole teams in their churches, and inspiring the body of Christ
  • going into the whole world preaching the Good News
  • having great influence for God in business, justice or arts

Last but not least, former French kids are today’s youth leaders in their own area / country, well equipped and faitfhully serving the young generation, pushing the younger to do the same.

This could not have been done without the IMPACT team.

IMPACT Africa

Crown Valley of Hope

We have partnered with Crown Valley of Hope in Ndola, Zambia to help educate, clothe and feed 500 orphans daily. This ministry was founded for the sole purpose of alleviating the suffering, misery and anguish brought about by the AIDS pandemic. Our Someone Who Cares child sponsorship program is helping. For $175 per year, we are able to purchase books, uniforms, food, bedding and one pair of shoes for an orphan. Without this program innocent children would end up on the streets!
