About the Impact Movement

While we’re known primarily for the national Impact conference that we host every two years, The Impact Movement is much more than a conference. We are a movement of evangelism and discipleship with influence nationally and internationally. We exist to mobilize leaders of African descent who are spiritually focused, financially responsible and morally fit and will take the truth of Jesus Christ to the campus, community and the world.

The Enforcer, a youth ministry in Georgia, is launching a new teen talk show, “Real Teens, Real Issues,” to broadcast live at a launch event on Saturday, December 19.

The show is dedicated to promoting the mission of “Pioneering Teens, Teens That Dare To Be Different.” The launch event will take place in Porter Auditorium on the Newton High School campus, at 140 Ram Drive, Covington, GA 30014 (located off I-20 East beyond Conyers). Doors open at 2:30pm and showtime is 3:00pm.

This is a free event for the entire family, with an entertainment line-up including:
– 18-year old male motivational speaker
– 16-year old male, dancer and choreographer
– 16-year old singer/song writer and pianist
– Gospel Hip Hop Artist Street Gospel singing their New Single, “Jesus Walk”

The show will be hosted by a family comedian, Rodney Johnson who has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and has toured with Sinbad and many others. If you’re in the area, be sure to attend this inspiring event! For more information visit theenforcer.org or email adrean@theenforcer.org.

The Impact Movement, a college ministry targeted toward African American students, will spark hearts and minds for God this winter with Ignite Regional Conferences in Chicago and Atlanta:

It only takes a small spark to start a powerful fire that can consume cities and nations.

God wants to spark a spiritual fire that will consume you, your campus, and your community with a passion for Him. All around us lie stagnant campuses, spiritually cold cities, and hardened hearts. At the IGNITE regional conferences come be set ablaze by the contagious power of God to be an agent of change in our nation.

Rep Your Youth Group or Ministry

SOAR is looking to feature and interview youth ministries and groups that are passionate about representing the Lord. Contact us via our form if you are:

or

Contribute to SOAR

Want to submit a review, article or suggest a topic or feature on SOAR? Contact us via our form with the type of contribution you would like to make.

Introducing a new section of the Dream in Soul site – SOAR, created especially for young people.

While the Dream in Soul: Creativity for the Kingdom Blog has content that can be enjoyed by anyone, the new SOAR section will have content especially aimed at young people (teen-aged to college-aged/early twenties). The Dream in Soul Blog will have regular updates about what’s happening over in the SOAR section to keep you connected, and vice versa for SOAR.

SOAR will feature a variety of posts – from those that are fun, creative and youthful to more deep and spiritual posts that relate to a young person’s walk with God. In the future there will also be ways for young people to interact, and for others to submit and contribute content.

The title SOAR is inspired by the Scripture Isaiah 40:30-31:

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

SOAR is also an acronym for Succeed, Overcome And Renew in God. By putting our hope in the Lord young people, or anyone, can succeed and overcome difficult obstacles in life and in spiritual warfare. The secret to "eternal youth" or staying fresh is not anything we can put on or do physically, but our strength can be renewed in the love and power of God when seeking Him with all of our heart, soul and mind. As the Scripture says, even young people become weary in this world, but with God youth can SOAR.

If you’re a young believer who is mature in your faith, but want to go deeper, here are some conferences that could help you on your journey of knowing God more deeply:
