What is their ministry?

Our vision is to see the African American Community fulfill its destiny as a reflection of the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. The mission of the Impact Movement is African American emerging leaders-spiritually focused, Financially free, and morally fit-taking the truth of Jesus Christ to the campus, community and world. We serve as a Field Coaches - Giving direction to college students at universities, in the Northeast and Midwest Regions, with their campus Impact Movement ministries.  Most of what we do consists of helping the students grow in their personal relationships with the Lord, develop their leadership skills, and effectively lead their Impact Chapters.

How did they become a missionary?

Kenley   All my life I grew up in a Christian home, going to church every Sunday not knowing what was going on. Before I went to college I got baptized, and then began my freshman year at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. That was the turning point of my life because I started to have a passion for God.  During my first semester at U. Mass Dartmouth I met some new Christian friends who started a Christian Fellowship and Bible Study on campus. There were many college students at our school who were seeking Jesus in their lives everyday.      Changes began to occur, as I grew stronger in the faith.  The Lord gave me the desire to share my faith with other college students, and during my last two years I was President of the Christian Fellowship. We went to different conferences like fall and winter retreats, and the Impact 2000 Conference. The Impact 2000 conference gave me the desire to serve God as an Impact Intern/Fellow with Impact Movement.      Since graduating from UMass, I've spent the last year and half serving full time as an Impact Intern/Fellow in the Baltimore Metro Area with the Impact Movement.  Just as at UMass, there are tremendous numbers of college students in Baltimore who need to hear the gospel of Jesus.  Feb 5th, 2003 I came on full time with Impact Movement.  My Ministry assignment will be working with the National Team in Orlando as a Field Coach.   Jerrell   My junior year of college I attended an Impact Conference in Washington, D.C. and my life has been forever changed.  At the conference God’s presence was surreal and I realized how much God loved me.  It was from that point on that I wanted to share with other s about the love of Jesus Christ.  For the rest of my time in college I did ministry with the Impact Movement on my campus, and when I graduated I realized that God was calling me to continue to work with African-American youth.

What challenges do they face in their work?

Some of the greatest challenges we face are seeing the need for the African-American community to know who Jesus Christ really is and raising financial support for our ministry. There seems to be an absence of Jesus Christ in a lot of the homes the youth are being raised in or the good news of Jesus Christ is not clearly presented to many of the students we work with. It’s also a challenge because, as fulltime missionaries, we are financially supported solely from concerned individuals and churches. Being at the forefront of African-American missions is a relatively new concept within the majority of the African-American community. We must raise our own financial support because Impact Movement is a Non-profit organization. Staff members with Impact Movement have the responsibility to develop a team of financial partners who provide the necessary finances for outreach, and business related expense.  There are different ways to give: Monthly, Special Gift, or a One Time Gift.  You can make your check payable to “The Impact Movement.”
