ABOUT IMPACT AFRICA
Impact Africa, founded in 2004 by Rich and Michelle Franzen, is a multi-faceted ministry with a mission to serve, educate, and rescue individuals while provoking them toward a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ.
It is with that same desire that we created our short-term mission trips and internships. Our Impact Mission Adventure short-term trips are designed to provide churches and individuals with an opportunity to activate their faith, assist the locals, and advance the Gospel. Our cross-cultural global internship; the Missions Experience Program, is designed to give young adults the opportunity to discover their calling, develop their gifts, and deploy their God-given vision.
Whether you serve with us for 8 days or 10 months you will receive the skills needed to make a Gospel difference in the lives of those who need it most – the unreached and forgotten people of Southern Africa. You and your church will be equipped to share the Gospel and make disciples not only in South Africa, but also in your hometown!
“Impact ME is one of the most refining tools that I’ve ever experienced in my life!”
- Micah Walker Class of 2011“We are helping to not only meet the physical needs, but the spiritual needs of people in Africa.”
- Katie Cavanaugh, Class of 2011“This was my first mission trip and it literally transformed me and changed my life! I love what Impact Africa is doing for the people of Africa! Before this trip I hadn't ever had a passion for missions or an understanding of how important missions really is! Now I want to live my life for the Gospel! Thank you Impact Africa for impacting me!”
