A Healthy Church in Every Community of Poverty
Empower
We believe the hope of the Gospel in our cities lies with training, equipping and empowering Kingdom-minded leaders.
Partner
The Gospel is already alive and active in our cities. We simply want to work with local church leaders.
Reach
We have an incredible opportunity to grow the reach of the Gospel through new disciples who have direct ties to their country of origin.
Why World Impact?
According to The Center for the Study of Global Christianity, only 5% of the world's church leaders are trained for ministry. Everything at World Impact is focused on training and equipping church leaders — making resources affordable and accessible to as many as possible. We exist to serve people who minister in communities of poverty — affirming their call and vocation. They are the transforming agents in their community.
