IMPACT South Africa 2014 Testimonies
“This summer God completely transformed my heart into seeing how much of a loving Father He is to me. For the first time I truly realized that God wants me to be dependent on Him 100% of the time because He is ALL I need to live in freedom.” - Molly Fagan, USA
“This summer I learned many lessons about life, myself, and God's character. But the main thing that stuck out to me most is where I fit into God's big plan; to bring restoration among all nations. I came to understand what makes God cry, and what makes God cry through my eyes. God revealed himself to me this summer through His creation, through amazing kid camps, many different trials. He always fulfills His promises that He made to us along time ago!” - Meradyth Sehon, USA
"Through Impact I learned that drawing close to God and listening to what he has to say is the most important thing. The Lord also laid on my heart the importance of discipleship and how much of a difference discipleship makes in a persons spiritual walk.” - Alex Fletcher, USA
“I learned at Impact how personal the nature of our interactions with God should be. I learned from leaders like Casper and Quinn what a follower of God does on a daily basis: love and obey. I saw from their example that to have a relationship with God is to obey His commands and to love Him and His people with the unconditional love He has given us.” - Will Korzeniewski, USA
“2 months ago I was at a place where decisions had to be made. At impact God revealed to me that I should trust Him and follow Him. Wherever i go I should look and see what God is busy doing in that place and be obedient to what God wants me to do. I also learnt that being a servant is much more rewarding than being praised for the good things I do. My eyes was truly opened to many things that I was numb towards and I see things in a different light now. I see God working in every situation and not just some. Thank you impact for having a huge influence in my life.” - Rowan Minords, South Africa
"Impact for me was an experience of dying to self and letting God have all my strengths and weaknesses. He revealed Himself to me in ways that I have never experienced and will never forget. I was reminded of how great a God we serve and the faithful love He has for us.” - JB Long, USA
“Impact was an experience that I will remember for my entire life because that's when I really fell in love with God and realized how much love he has for not only me but for all the nations. I truly was able to connect with Him and learn more about myself and grow in my faith. God showed me my passions and how He wants me to journey in my life.” - Michaela Rich, USA
“My summer at IMPACT was nothing short of life changing. The way The Lord revealed Himself to me and showed me that He is my true Father has changed my whole life. The family He has given me this summer will continually impact my life forever. It's safe to say, this summer was the best 9 weeks of my life.” - Rachel West, USA
“I learned that God is greater than everything. He is greater than any suffering, blessing, or trial. God's plans for us is greater than our plans for ourselves.” - Mike Moody, USA
“Throughout the course of the summer my relationship with God went to a knew level. God opened my eyes to see specific things that he cries for. I found what I am willing to live and die for and that is to make disciples wherever I go and whatever I do while completing the specific task he has laid on my heart.” - Tyler Scott, USA
“Impact for me this summer was something almost indescribable, even as I sit here; I struggle to find the words to fully convey how God worked in my life and in those around me. One thing that God taught me this summer for my life specifically, was that as a Christian I have to be fully bought in to him not withholding anything, and that if I am holding on to even one thing then I have not completely trusted God.” - Ryan Jordan, USA
IMPACT South Africa 2014
We want to rejoice with you before the Lord saying thank you for an amazing IMPACT South Africa! This is by far our most intensive ministry program of the year and we thank God for all He has done! We also want to thank the leadership team that made this possible. Thank you for all the sponsors and prayer warriors that prayed for us! Without this team effort, IMPACT would not have been a success. Thank you!
The month of July brought the last half of IMPACT and many great highlights. Here are some of them:
- We hosted 3 different sport camps serving a total of about 190 kids from different communities in the area. Over 20 children made first time commitments to accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Around another 20 made re-commitments to following Christ more wholeheartedly. We praise God for that!!
- We sent 9 of our male interns to serve as chaperones/chaplains at the under 18 rugby craven week tournament alongside with SCAS (Sport for Christ Action South Africa).
- We visited a sports ministry soccer academy in a prison called Ambassadors in Football.
- The 24 interns continued with their training, completed all necessary requirements, and received their International Sport Leadership Training certificates for levels 1 & 2. Good job!
IMPACT was primarily focused on discipleship. We are excited to see how God will use the interns in His kingdom as disciples making disciples as they go back to their home cities and countries. We are proud of each one of the 24 students!
