Greetings Family,
God is building people to prosper in faith and victory, and you are one of them! You will come through this challenging season victorious. Thank you for your prayers and participation in our Easter services. Hats off to our media team led by Pastor Shawn Frazier and Kollette Taylor, our lead engineer. These guys and their teams are due double honor for their tireless efforts in helping us continue to reach beyond the four walls of our South Plainfield Campus into the whole world through the internet. I could never preach the Gospel to the world without these gifted partners and their teams!
OUR REACH IS NOW GLOBAL
My friends at LifeChurch.tv have been praying for us and advising me as we have launched our online campus. They advised me that viewership numbers should account for family gatherings and multiple viewers at one location. With that insight, and with humble gratitude to God, I beyond happy to inform you that we had over 5,400 viewers of our Easter Sunday Services. To God be the glory for what He has done. Thank you so very much for sharing the positive, progressive, and caring community of Impact with your friends and family members. We have viewers as far away as South Africa, Indonesia, India, London and countless other countries across the world. That’s dope!
YOUR GENEROSITY ALLOWS US TO HELP SMALL BUSINESSES
Additionally, I want to thank you for your continued financial support of our ministry. We have been able to continue the operation of our various ministries with no layoffs or significant financial dips. Because of your faithfulness in giving, we have partnered with business owners and provided cash grants to small business owners that are friends and members of our church to help them get this tough season, through the Impact Christian Business Fellowship. You can read the press release here. If you own a business and need help join the fellowship click here.
CARE TEAM IS SENDING YOU A MASK
I’m also excited to tell that our first 100 reusable masks made by our group of care volunteers under the leadership of Pastor Graham will be mailed to households starting this week. We would’ve been able to get 500 masks out this week, out but it’s difficult to secure the elastic we need. We will complete this project as quickly as we can so that every Impact household has a couple of masks to use for work and shopping. If you don’t need what we send, please PAY IT FORWARD and give it to a friend or neighbor. This random act of kindness will show the love of Jesus in the most simple way and it reflects our core value to give until it hurts. Thank you, thank you!

Bishop De’Andre Salter
