It’s a time of transition at Impact Ministries Canada as we say goodbye to Don and Sandra Stephenson. We want to take this opportunity to thank them for helping us lead Impact Ministries so well for the past six plus years. Don and Sandra have been a great blessing to many, many people associated with this ministry. We are very grateful for all their hard work and contributions to this ministry.
At the same time, we are excited to introduce you to Impact Ministries Canada’s new Operations Manager and Financial Manager. These two amazing women have been prepared by the Lord in a wonderful way to take over these roles.
Kristyn Mackenzie is stepping into the role of Operations Manager. Kristyn is a familiar face at Impact Ministries, as she has already been on staff as our Teams and Mission Engagement Coordinator. Many of you have already experienced her quick smile and her capable organizational skills. Kristyn has a business degree from the University of Prince Edward Island, and has been actively working in ministry for the past thirteen years. Besides her roles at Impact, Kristyn has also worked as a Staff Director, Youth Director, Ministry Assistant, and Administrative Director – and even as a Wedding Coordinator. The Canadian office will be in good hands!
“I love what Impact Ministries stands for! This is kingdom building, and I am so excited to be part of this!”
Jessica Mazurek is our new Financial Manager. A chartered accountant, Jessica graduated from the University of British Columbia with her Bachelor of Science and she received her designation from Chartered Accountants School of Business in 2009. She has worked with small and large companies, and has chaired the Impact Ministries finance committee since last year. We’ve seen her attention to detail and her love for Guatemala, and are thrilled to have someone so accomplished join the team. What a great privilege for Impact Ministries to have a CPA managing our finances!
“I am moved and inspired by Les and Rita’s heart for the Guatemalans, and it’s a privilege to work with the wonderful staff at Impact Ministries. I’m looking forward to being able to use my skills to serve in God’s kingdom!”
Don and Sandra have spent the last few months mentoring and preparing Jessica and Kristyn, and we are confident that the leadership of Impact Ministries Canada continues to be in good hands. We wish Don and Sandra many blessings as they follow God’s leading in their lives. We know they are looking forward to spending more time with their children and grandchildren.
Please pray for Kristyn and Jessica, that they would step into their new roles confidently and lead well.
