He saw in front of him a map of the world with waves crashing into the continents, advancing inland until all the nations were covered. The waves became young people of all ages, talking to people on street corners, going from house to house, helping the 4 lonely, feeding the hungry, and leading them to a relationship with Jesus.

In partnership with local churches, we’ll pray and work to fulfill the Great Commission, incorporating the use of teams like “Heal Our Land”, Team Extreme, GX-Jam and Island Breeze. …to challenge America with a call to missions. From the days of the pioneers, America has produced some of the finest and most dedicated missionaries. Impact World Tour is more than an event! The exciting prayer strategies, the maximized involvement of local Christians in planning and preparations, the seminars on personal growth and revival, the encouragement and facilitation of personal 16 friendship evangelism, workshops on counseling and the comprehensive follow-up program, all work together to bring forth lasting fruit. It’s a 10-12 month process that aims to make a lasting impact in peoples lives, churches and communities. . 17 The Impact World Tour Consists of 3 Phases Phase One - Awakening is designed to arouse and unite the churches in a target region.
