THE IMPACT TEAM May 17, 2008 Grand Blanc, MI (9-29-07) After traveling 10 hours through Canada we are here in MI...we were at First Baptist Church of Grand Blance today. The Olympians had a Olympians FasCar this afternoon and we helped out with that, which was pretty cool seeing them excited about the races. The salvation message and invitation was given and a young boy by the name of Zion was led to the Lord by one of us. In the evening a concert was giving at the church and we had oppurtunities to use our God given passions for His glory by means of our testimonies, drama, music, and our behavior. God is truly blessing our ministry here in MI by providing us with energy, host homes, meals, and love from the church family. We will be in MI for the next couple days and then Indiana and then back to MI. Tour is just starting and God has a lot planned for us to do still..please keep us in your prayers as we are being used for His glory. IMPACT TEAM May 17, 2008 Columbiaville, MI (10-1-07) We are still in Michigan and we have had a great time serving the Lord through the talents and abilities He has blessed us with. We arrived at People's Baptist Church early on Sunday and there we had some great conversations with the members of the church where we were able to encourage them to endure hardship for the cause of Christ. In the morning service we sang several songs, performed skits, and gave our testimonies. Afterwards, we enjoyed several types of chili provided by the church family for lunch. We planned a Storm event for that evening while the Youth Group gathered all of their friends to come to the church. The evening was a great time filled with many activities, games, food. Most importantly, we were able to share the Word of God. Even though there were no decisions that evening, the gospel was preached. Please pray that God will continue to soften the hearts of those at the storm event as the weeks progress. We continue our ministry on Tuesday and go to Indiana for a few days to serve the Lord through music at various churches. Please pray for us as we continue our Mid-West Tour. THE IMPACT TEAM May 17, 2008 Albion, IN (10-5-07) We are back here in Michigan after going on a short bunny trail to Indian to spend time with youth groups and Christians Kids from The Albion area. Wednesday morning we had the opportunity to do a concert in the local Christian School, where we encouraged the kids through music, song, and our examples, we were also able to distribute Word of Life litature for the kids there. Thursday night we had a very uniquie opportunity to go to the local hang out "The Studio" and we just hung out with the teens there. These teens were from hard backrounds and we were able to interact with them and encourage them to live for The Lord despite their circumstances. God once again has shown Himself to be sovereign and is giving us opportunities that we never thought would be effective in, but we have learned that the doubts we have, God can turn right side up and those plans will prosper for His Glory. Please pray for us as we are living and striving for Our Lord's satisfaction. The IMPACT TEAM May 17, 2008 Durand, Lapeer, Three Rivers, MI (10-07-07) We just wrapped up our MI tour with a one hour concert here at Fish Lake First Baptist here in Three Rivers, MI. There we had not only our usual music ministry but afterwards we were able to pray encourage, and talk with many people in the church. This past Saturday we are involved with "God IN Motion" which was a conference to expose teens to ministry outlets. It was neat to be involved on helping teens to use their gifts to serve The Lord with what they do. We leave early on Monday the 8th to go to Ohio and we will be there for the remainder of our tour...for any questions to see if we are going to be in your area contact ImpactTeam@wol.org
The IMPACT TEAM May 17, 2008 OHIO Tour (10-12-07) Well as you can see from the lack of updates the last few days we are staying pretty busy in Ohio, traveling daily to two locations. We have been in sevaral Christian Schools which has been a blast, because the students are very energetic and are a joy to minister to. At these Christian Schools we not only sing for them but we get have great interaction with them during their lunches, which is cool because that is when we are able to pour into their lives and direct them to The Lord. God is so good, because He is the one who is giving us the energy when we have to wake up a 5am to get to a School two hours away. This is not always fun but as a team we strive to keep a good attitude that is pleasing to The Lord. Until Next Up Date THE IMPACT TEAM May 17, 2008 OHIO Tour (10-14-07) We have been quite busy here in Ohio, especially with our many storm events. We have been involved in Youth groups in Rittman, Akron, and in Bellefontaine, Ohio. It has been amazing to see God work through the lives of these youth groups, we have seen these youth groups bring in up to three time the amount the teens they started with. We have seen several teens come to Lord in this past weekend alone and it great to see God break the lives of these teens and humble them before the Throne of The Lord. We were at Vesper Lake Bible Fellowship this morning and we had a very encouraging time there serving them with music and afterwards talking with the congregation of the church and leading them to The Lord and giving them wisdom on their future decisions. We have also had many opportunities admits all of this ministry to encourage and spur on many youth group leaders and teenagers to serve God and to do so with the help and wisdom of the Lord, because with our Him we have nothing. God is so good, being involved in this ministry is so very fulfilling, and we cannot see our self not doing this the rest of our lives…Thanks again for all of your thoughts, prayers, and finances. The IMPACT TEAM
May 17, 2008 OHIO (10-19-07) Well as a team we have seen over 250 lbs of ice cream consumed by many hungry teenagers (by means of appetite and spiritual needs), so we can say we have had our fill of ice cream for a life time. At these youth events we see many teens bring in many of their friends and many of their friends, friends usually tripling in size, and they all hear the gospel and many are saved because of it. As a team, we pray that we never loose the passion of allowing God to use our lives to bring others to Christ, because that is what it is all about. We have seen many churches in Ohio as we are almost to a wrap of our Fall Tour but through it all God has been so faithful to us in providing host homes, meals, fellowship, and energy. We have had the blessing to have George Theis with us for about a week preaching The Word of God daily, and encouraging the team to keep up the good work for The Lord. On Sunday we head to Milford to minister to the church there and then we head to Florida. Thank You for reading these updated of how God is using the lives of young men that you are supporting from around the United States. We will get back to you once we are in Florida. THE IMPACT TEAM
May 17, 2008 The Sights and Sounds of Christmas in FL Well we have been here in Fl for about two weeks staying very busy: building and painting props, laying carpet, hanging lights, putting up back drops and practicing. The Show starts on Thanksgiving week end and goes for three weekends with a total of 21 show, we still have a allot of work that need to get done. One thing the team has been learning that even though we are all working in smaller or larger aspect compared to each other, we are all significant as the body of Christ because each step is crucial in The Body of Christ and in this show, because every detail is what we keep the show from distracting away from the gospel message presented. Please keep us in prayers as we prepare for the show and also pray for those who are planning on attending the show that their heart may begin to be softening to The Gospel Message that began on that staring Christmas Day. The IMPACT TEAM
May 17, 2008 Impact: Soon to travel The World
Well the team survived FL for the Sights and Sounds of Christmas, and The Lord worked in many lives with our ministry. Christmas break was excellent and refreshing, as we spend time with family and sharing sharing classic holiday traditions and fun. Now we are back here in New York and we have just wrapped our Missions Conference where we were able to minister to those attending as we sang. The Lord stired and worked in many hearts and changed many people's focus in life. It was good to hear over and over again how we are obligated to serve The Lord because as Paul, we are all debtors of Christ for what He did for us on The Cross, and how can we not give The Lord portions of our lives when He has given us all of His Life. As we has wrapped up conference we begin preparing to extend our ministry over seas we fly our of Miami Florida on January 17 to travel to Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador to serve The Lord for a week in each country. Please pray for us as we extend the gospel message to Central America...

We have had many opportunities to sing in some bilingual schools, parks, and today we sang in our first Sunday church service. The people of Honduras are very friendly and responsive towards the gospel. We have seen many lives come to the Lord, and many others who´s hearts have been warmed and smile have been put on their faces. We have had some great opportunities to share our light of Jesus with the people that we come in contact with..its neat here because they are see our light of Jesus so much more clearer here because they see the abnormal aspect of and in Central America that joy that they see in our life is not so common as it is the US.
