IMPACT takes an (I)ntegrated approach to (M)issions, (P)roblem solving and raising (A)wareness, with the prayer that this will encourage (C)ompassion and (T)hankfulness among students in grades 7 - 10 using articles in each issue of the magazine. The questions below are based on the articles in the fall, 2011, issue of the magazine. They have been prepared by Mrs. Tanya Byl who is a high school teacher at the Rehoboth .

Reconstruction Project: Post-Agatha 1. What has been the most recent natural disaster for Guatemala? How did Word & Deed help?
2. “One of the dangers of relief work is that people become statistics; they lose their human face.” What are the dangers? How does meeting the real people involved in a relief project help the workers involved in it?
The Struggles of Change 1. How do both paganism and false Christian views encourage acceptance of poverty?
2. Why do you think someone might think they are too poor to make any improvements to his or her situation in life?
