Impact Weekend

Impact Nations is committed to rescuing lives and transforming communities–both in the developing world and in the west. We believe that the cornerstone of the Gospel is to demonstrate the love of God: people tend to forget what they hear about God’s love, but they remember what they experience.

So what is an Impact Weekend?

Steve Stewart teaches and equips a local church to encourage and release them into impacting the community through practical and supernatural demonstrations of the Kingdom. Simply put, together we learn Biblical principles of healing, justice and mercy then put them into practice in the neighborhood. Healing and salvation happen, church members begin to see the endless opportunities that are all around them to touch lives with the Gospel, and a new confidence and sense of mission rises up.

Typically an Impact Weekend begins either Thursday or Friday evening with teaching and having all participants learn (by doing) how to heal the sick. On Saturday, we teach some more on how to release the Kingdom of God all around us then we go out together. We may give food to families in a housing project; we may simply go with cold drinks to people on the streets. Whatever the vehicle, our objective is to demonstrate the power and love of the Gospel through healing, prayer and acts of mercy. There is usually an open meeting either Saturday or Sunday evening where the sick are invited to come. The weekend participants are the prayer team.

In the UK, Australia, Canada and the US, we have seen Impact Weekends bring churches into a new place of confidence, purpose and anointing. New local ministries often start, throughout the week members begin to pray for the sick,  and communities are impacted.
