OUR MI SS ION World Impact empowers urban leaders and partners with local churches to reach their cities with the Gospel . According to The Center for the Study of Global Christianity, only 5% of the world’s church leaders are trained for ministry. And 81% of Christians live on less than $100 a day. Everything at World Impact is focused on training and equipping church leaders and workers who work in communities of poverty. We make resources affordable and accessible to as many as possible – affirming their ministry call. They are the transforming agents in their community.

THE MI N I STRY AND LEADERSH I P

Dr. Keith Phillips foundedWorld Impact in 1971, launching evangelistic Bible clubs in the inner city of Los Angeles, which spread across the country. As these children reached grew up, we saw the need to focus on the empowerment of local churches and their leaders. These churches equipping their workers can transform their neighborhoods. Today, Dr. Alvin Sanders, who has extensive experience in urban ministry, is the President of World Impact.

OUR UN IQUE ADVANTAGES

World Impact champions the ability of the urban poor to own and lead ministry, believing in the power of “grassroots” community insiders. We are kingdom-minded and trusted on account of our fifty years of experience in urban America. We leverage our staff to become trainers of trainers, reaching the world through local connections. When we train leaders in major US cities, many take that training back to their home country of origin.
