IMPACT - Myrtle Beach

Pirateland Ministry 😎

Every summer, we're blessed to welcome North Conway Baptist Church back to serve at Pirateland Family Camping Resort.

Over the years, familiar faces have become lasting friendships. Families remember our volunteers, children look forward to seeing them each summer, and new conversations begin because this team faithfully returns year after year.

Consistency matters in ministry. Sometimes the greatest impact comes simply from showing up again.

Thank you, North Conway Baptist Church, for faithfully loving families at Pirateland and making Christ known through your kindness and servant hearts. 💙

What a Week! 🙌

Three churches. Countless opportunities. One incredible God.

This week was one of our busiest of the summer as we welcomed North Conway Baptist Church, Liberty Baptist Church, and our returning friends from Three Rivers Baptist Church!

From campgrounds and neighborhoods to senior living communities, food ministries, and prayer outreach, these teams faithfully served wherever God opened a door.
We're so thankful for every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and heart to share the love of Christ across the Grand Strand. It was a week full of smiles, conversations, prayer, and lives touched. 🌎

Thank you for serving alongside IMPACT Ministries!

🌊🎬✨ A perfect summer night at IMPACT! ✨🎬🌊

A few weeks ago, we gathered with our J1 international students for one of our favorite summer traditions—a Pool Party & Movie Under the Stars!

The evening was filled with swimming, laughter, great conversations, a fun movie, plenty of sodas and snacks, and an all-American campfire favorite... S'mores! 🔥🍫🍪

For many of our students, it was their very first time making and tasting a s'more! Watching them carefully toast marshmallows, build their treats, and experience this classic American tradition for the first time was just as much fun for us as it was for them.
While nights like these are full of fun, they are about so much more than a movie or a sweet treat. They give us the opportunity to slow down, relax, and simply enjoy being together. Some of the best conversations happen while floating in the pool, sitting around the fire, or sharing snacks under the stars.

These moments help turn strangers into friends and friends into family. They build trust, deepen relationships, and create opportunities to share life together. It's often in these simple, unhurried moments that God opens the door for meaningful conversations and lasting connections.

We're so thankful for every student God has brought to Myrtle Beach this summer and for the privilege of walking alongside them. These memories will last long after summer ends.

💙🌎 Sometimes the sweetest moments of ministry happen around a campfire, under the stars, with a s'more in hand.

🎄🌎 Christmas came a little early at All Nations Cafe! ❤️💚

What an unforgettable evening as we celebrated Christmas in July with our international J1 students from around the world!

The room was filled with delicious food, festive decorations, Christmas games, laughter, and new friendships. We even gathered together for a beautiful candlelight moment, reminding us of the Light that came into the world.

While we enjoyed many of the traditions that make Christmas special, the greatest gift we shared wasn't wrapped in paper.
It was the story of Jesus.

For many of our students, this was their first experience celebrating Christmas in an American home-like setting. It was a joy to introduce them to the traditions we cherish while sharing the true meaning behind them.

At All Nations Cafe, every event is about so much more than food and fun. Every meal shared, every game played, every conversation started, and every friendship formed creates an opportunity to share the hope found in Christ.

Because the message of Christmas isn't just for December.
Jesus is the reason for Christmas... and He is the reason for every season. ✝️

Thank you to every volunteer who decorated, cooked, served, welcomed, and loved our students so well. Your kindness made this a night they won't soon forget.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." — John 1:5

Walking, Praying & Trusting God 🙏

As another incredible week with Radiant Church comes to a close, we are reminded that some of the most powerful moments of ministry begin simply by being willing to go.

This team walked through our community with open eyes and open hearts, praying for neighborhoods, families, businesses, visitors, and the people God placed in their path. Through prayer walks, they were able to slow down, notice the needs around them, and intentionally ask God to move in the lives of people they may never meet again.

Throughout the week, they served children, helped meet practical needs, encouraged seniors, brought smiles through balloons and face paint, and faithfully prayed over our community. But even more importantly, they built relationships and shared the love of Jesus wherever they went.

Radiant Church, thank you for returning to serve alongside us once again. We are grateful for your partnership, your friendship, and your willingness to say yes to the opportunities God placed before you.

The week may be over, but we trust that the prayers prayed, seeds planted, and relationships built will continue to make an IMPACT long after you’ve returned home. We can’t wait to welcome you back again! 💛🌎✝️

Generations Coming Together 💛

Some of the sweetest moments of the week happened when generations came together at TerraBella Myrtle Beach and Brightwater.

The Radiant Church team spent time serving and building relationships with residents at local Senior Living communities.

Through conversations, laughter, activities, music, and simply taking the time to sit together, beautiful connections were made.
There is so much wisdom found in listening to someone’s story, and there is something incredibly special about watching young people and older adults encourage one another.

Ministry is often found in the simple gift of being present. Thank you, Radiant Church, for slowing down, listening well, and reminding others that they are seen, valued, and loved. 💛🙏

Bringing Joy Wherever You Go! 🎈🎨

A little paint, a few balloons, and a whole lot of joy! 🎈🎨😄

The team from Radiant Church brought smiles to countless faces Broadway at the Beach through balloon animals and face painting! What may seem like a simple act of fun can become an incredible opportunity to connect with someone, start a conversation, and show the kindness and love of Jesus.

Children gathered. Families smiled. Laughter was shared. And new connections were made.

We love watching our teams use their creativity, talents, and willingness to serve to brighten someone’s day. Ministry can happen anywhere—and sometimes it begins with a balloon and a smile! 💛✨
