When I saw into Impact Nations, I see it reaping way more than I’m sowing. You seem to have a capacity to expand the gifts, turning them into people and businesses, multiplying impact far beyond expectation. Well done!

As a 14 year old it was great to have the opportunity to teach communities how to manage water filters this helped my leadership gifting grow.
Going on a Journey of Compassion with my daughter was life-changing for us both. She got to participate in the real, tangible activity of the gospel, and I was able to see her come alive in new ways while we experienced the excitement of following Jesus together.
Impact Nations has provided a safe environment for she and I to powerfully participate in the Kingdom of God with people who love Jesus and people in ways that are not often displayed in our everyday lives.
Let me add my unsolicited endorsement for what the Impact Nations are doing. They didn't ask me to do this. I'm telling you, they're legit. They're doing great work.

If you want to come out and play in someones backyard, and see the Kingdom come, and see Jesus' love go out. And also be challenged and changed, and stretched. This is what you are looking for.
My 11-year-old daughter and I have been on 2 JOCs. When I asked her what the Impact of the JOCs have been on her life, without any thought she said, "I am closer to God, I talk to God more, and they have been a major turning point in my life.
It was really important to me to be able to serve those who live in deep poverty. To see their lives and the impact we could have in a brief moment (with the gospel) for them was so powerful.
It is living, breathing and doing the gospel everyday. Bowing my knee to wash the feet of the unlovable by world's standards but completely loved and accepted by Jesus
I prayed for someone in the clinic who was having a hard time recovering from rotator cuff surgery. He couldn’t lift his arm up very high at all and said he was in severe pain all the time. By the time we got done praying, he could lift his arm almost to his head
This was my first mission trip ever and I'm so glad I went! I had an amazing experience.
I experienced a beautiful sense of oneness with both the Impact team and The Philippines team we partnered with.
