I joined the Global Internship because I wanted to grow closer to God. I have also felt called to missions for a while now, and I wanted to learn more about the life of a full-time missionary.

Hi, my name is Lance Bridgford! I come from a family of eight siblings and I am the fifth one to intern with Impact Africa. I am interning here in response to God calling me while on a short term trip in 2018, arriving here last year, and sadly having to go back in March because of Covid. Which means that I get to come back this year to finish my internship!

I’m Hannah! I love being outdoors; especially when doing devotions. I enjoy singing and I’m on the worship team back in Colorado. Traveling is something I love to do whenever I can. Currently I’m learning Zulu which is a local language in South Africa!

“Being an intern at Impact Africa was the greatest decision I've ever made. Before I came here, I was loving and serving Jesus the best I knew how, but it still felt like I was living in black and white. Now, I finally feel like I'm seeing in color. Learning how to share my faith and embracing the Great Commission has made me come alive in a way I've never felt before.”
- Sarah Miller, class of 2016“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!”
- Cassi Mhoon“Impact ME is not only changing me like the name suggests, but also the people around me.”
