IMPACT - Myrtle Beach

As this incredible week comes to a close, we simply want to say thank you.

Thank you to North Conway Baptist Church, Liberty Baptist Church, and Three Rivers Baptist Church for serving with humility, flexibility, and joy.

Thank you for loving children, encouraging families, praying with strangers, serving at campgrounds, supporting local ministries, and representing Christ so well throughout our community.

The work doesn't end when the buses head home. Seeds have been planted, friendships have grown, and lives have been impacted.

We are honored to serve alongside churches like yours and look forward to the next time God brings us together.

Until next time... thank you for making an IMPACT! 💙

Busy Week, Full Hearts 💛

It was one of the busiest weeks of our summer season...
Three mission teams.
Multiple ministry sites.
Hundreds of conversations.
Countless smiles.
Many prayers lifted up.
While our schedules were full, our hearts are even fuller.

We're grateful for every church that chooses to spend a week serving alongside IMPACT Ministries. Together we're making an eternal impact, one relationship at a time.

Serving Every Generation 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

One of our favorite parts of this week was watching our teams minister to people of every age. 💙

Children laughing during activities. 🤣
Families encouraged in the community 🤗
Adults receiving practical assistance. 🤝
Senior adults sharing stories and enjoying meaningful conversations. 📚

The Gospel isn't limited by age, and neither is the love of Christ.
Thank you to every volunteer who served each generation with joy and compassion. ✝

Ministry is Relationships 💛

Our goal has never been simply to complete projects.

Our goal is people.

Every conversation...
Every game...
Every prayer...
Every smile...
Every meal shared...

These moments become opportunities to build relationships and point people toward Christ.

We're thankful for three amazing teams that understood ministry is about loving people well.

👬 Returning Friends 👭

There is something special about welcoming back returning mission teams.

For Three Rivers Baptist Church, this wasn't just another mission trip—it was another opportunity to continue relationships that have been growing over the years. 😊

Returning teams don't have to start from scratch. They build on previous conversations, reconnect with people they've served before, and deepen the impact of their ministry.

Thank you, Three Rivers Baptist Church, for continuing to invest in the people of Myrtle Beach. 🌊

Liberty Baptist Church

We're so thankful for the team from Liberty Baptist Church! ☺️

Whether serving at ministry sites throughout the community, encouraging residents, helping meet needs, or simply building relationships, this team served with joy and compassion every single day. 🤟

They were willing to go wherever they were needed, and that flexibility allowed them to touch countless lives throughout the week. 🌼

Thank you, Liberty Baptist Church, for being the hands and feet of Jesus here in Myrtle Beach!

🙏🏽 Prayer Changes Things 🙏🏽

Some of the most meaningful ministry moments aren't planned.

This week our teams spent time walking through neighborhoods, praying over homes, businesses, families, and every person God placed in their path.

Prayer changes hearts—including our own. 💕

Thank you to every volunteer who stepped out in faith, trusting that God is always at work, even when we can't immediately see the results.

Meeting Practical Needs 🤝

One of the beautiful things about missions is that it often begins by meeting practical needs.

This week, volunteers served our community by helping distribute food, organizing resources, and encouraging families facing difficult circumstances. 🍎

Every bag handed out came with a smile. Every conversation reminded someone they were seen and cared for. 🛍

Serving people in practical ways opens the door for hope, encouragement, and the love of Jesus. ✝

💙 Some people don't just support a ministry... they become part of the family. 💙

Today we want to celebrate and say a heartfelt thank you to our dear friend, Ms. Vivian, for organizing a wonderful food drive in her Brightwater community to bless IMPACT Ministries!

Because of her generous heart and the kindness of so many Brightwater residents, our shelves have been stocked with much-needed food that will help us care for our summer missionaries, J1 international students, and the many people God brings through our doors. We are incredibly grateful!

But if you know Ms. Vivian, you know this food drive is just one example of the love she pours into our ministry.

She is one of IMPACT's greatest advocates and supporters, always encouraging others to get involved and helping people understand the mission God has given us. More than that, she has become a treasured friend.

Every week, she welcomes our summer staff and IMPACT team to Brightwater with a delicious meal, warm hospitality, wonderful conversation, and—of course—a few competitive games of UNO in her apartment! ❤️ We never leave without full stomachs, smiling faces, and hearts that have been encouraged.

Ms. Vivian, thank you for loving our ministry so faithfully, cheering us on, praying for us, feeding us, and reminding us what Christian hospitality looks like. Your generosity, kindness, and friendship are a tremendous blessing to all of us.

We love you, and we thank God for you! 💙
