Members of TEAM IMPACT, some of the strongest men on
the planet, delivered a strong message at First United
Methodist Church on Friday August 31 through Sunday
September 2. TEAM IMPACT demonstrated astounding feats
of strength such as shattering five feet of concrete
with one blow of an elbow, bending 1/2" steel bars into
pretzels and snapping baseball bats in half with their
bare hands. TEAM IMPACT members captured the attention
of both young and old to share an inspiring message of
HOPE.
Team Impact's Credo.
Team
Impact truly believes that God desires to use every
local body of believers to extend His Kingdom. It is
this belief that leads us into communities rural and
urban, partnering with Bible believing churches of every
size, shape and makeup. Team Impact is ideally suited
for churches looking for creative evangelism but
unwilling to water down the message of the cross;
 a
church focused on reaching all generations and people
from every walk of life. As well,
Team Impact sees
tremendous results in reaching entire cities and
communities through the combined efforts of several
churches or ministerial alliances. Whether your church
is large or small, you have the potential of reaching
your entire community for Jesus Christ. |
 The
church and community prepared well for the team and the
delivery of the message. Mailers were sent out. There
were press releases and announcements made. The city of
Irving got very excited about
Team Impact
coming to our church and to Irving. Mayor Herb Gears
made an historic proclamation that August 31 - September
2 of 2007 in Irving would be named TEAM IMPACT DAYS. The
ICTN television network of Irving did a special segment
on the About Towne TV program dedicated to TEAM IMPACT
DAYS and the impact to our schools and community.
Coordinators Deb Bellew and Connie Riley and several
others orchestrated TEAM IMPACT assemblies at nine local
schools presenting local children the positive message
the team delivers in a manner that got their attention.
Each night from Friday through Sunday,
TEAM IMPACT thoroughly grasped each attendees attention.
All were thoroughly engulfed in the sights and sounds of
super human strength, the excitement and wonder of Jeff
Neal's apt story telling and his sincere message -
straight from the heart. But it wasn't just from his
heart; it was also from the heart of Jesus Christ. TEAM
IMPACT is carrying on His work after Him as He has commanded
us to do. Bringing the message of salvation to the lost,
the hurting and those who have never made a decision for
Christ. Each night there at minimum 20 to
40 decisions made! God at work and angels singing in the
heavens! FUMC had counselors to help with the new
Christians and then guide them on their next steps. What a
wonderful and happy time in the life of our church, our
community and our city. No one can guess what the impact
will be from the message delivered at the nine schools,
but you can be sure, with the Holy Spirit involved
nothing but good can come of it. Let us pray for our
church, our community and city, our school children and
our new Christians! Never stop praying!!

This email was received from the
principal at Bowie Middle School:
“Just a quick note to say ‘Thanks’ again
for bringing in TEAM IMPACT this past Thursday (August
30). It think it was a very clear message to our 6th
graders that what they do now has everything to do with
their future. Thanks to Connie Riley and Deborah Bellew
for working this out. Most especially, please extend my
thanks to First Untied Methodist Church for sponsoring
the assembly. I appreciate the community support that
you all have extended.”
