Impact World Tour Comes to South Africa

Last Monday Evelien traveled to the YWAM training center in Worcester, 2 hours drive from Cape Town, to attend a fundraising banquet for Impact World Tour South Africa. It was great for her to connect with the YWAM staff at this large base, as well as to learn more about this huge evangelistic campaign.

Mark Anderson, International Director for YWAM campaigns, was the speaker of the evening, explaining the concept of IWT and plans for South Africa.
“Impact World Tour (IWT) presents the Gospel in 21^st century relevant ways, using elements of the culture itself to deliver the message of Jesus. The results are startling. Our history has proven that around the world large numbers of people are responding to Christ. We’ve seen approximately 10% of those in attendance in developed nations make public commitments. In less-developed nations, the response is many times even greater.”

The Impact World Tour is coming to South Africa in 2011, with an action packed presentation that will capture young people right across this region with a message of hope in Jesus Christ. Teams made up of skateboarders, BMXers, dancers, cultural artists and athletes will perform their acts.

Team Xtreme International plan to blow audiences away with their amazing feats of strength and athletic prowess. Ripping whole telephone books in half, bending steel bars, blowing up hot water bottles till they burst, shattering stacks of concrete bricks, and other displays of power and might, apparently leave audiences breathless and screaming for more (we can imagine!).
