Known for providing resources to inner city men, women and children, World Impact has countless opportunities every day to both meet basic needs and share the love of Jesus Christ.
Take Peter, who was living in an alley of a boarded-up, abandoned building. He had no heat, water or electricity, so he slept in two sleeping bags to stay warm enough in winter. Peter wandered into the back door of a World Impact Thrift Store in desperation, tears streaming down his face, acknowledging he needed help to battle his alcohol addiction.
With conversation and prayer, David, the store manager, offered the kind of support Peter needed to get back on his feet. With funds from World Impact, a bus pass and hot lunches were provided for Peter, as he demonstrated his commitment by remaining sober and helping in the store. Now stable and productive, Peter is married to a Christian woman and managing a Family Dollar store.
The job-assessment programs and thrift stores are just the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to the life-saving resources provided by World Impact.
• The Urban Ministries Institute trains men and women to become urban leaders, advancing the kingdom of God through church planting.
• The Incarceration to Incorporation program is a ministry bringing redemption to those serving time behind bars, bringing them into the fold and into leadership roles.
• Christian Schools are opened in inner city locations to bring students a curriculum that builds academic competence and Christian character.
“It is important for quality education to be delivered to urban children and youth; especially those living in under-resourced communities,” says Efrem Smith, president and CEO of World Impact. “At World Impact, we are committed to quality education among the urban poor and initiatives which supplement this important focus. I believe this focus ought to be a high priority for all urban churches on some level.”
