A deep heart felt sense of gratitude and thanks goes to Dr. Jim Richards and all that make up Impact Ministries. I am curremtly taking courses via correspondence through your Bible College. I've recently come to realize through these classes I have been trying too hard to have a relatioship with the Lord instead of daily letting it unfold. It's really not about fixing what's wrong with me, it's more like a journey, it's walking with God, not fixing me. Transformation is the fruit.
Now daily following the Lord, I'm realizing if I think I need to be fixed, on an unconscious level I must always be broken in order to have a reason to follow God.
What a paradox, to hunger for wholeness but accept where I am. To want change but stay in the place of rest. To feel something is missing and be happy that it will be found on the journey. To hunger for it all now, but love the fact that I will spend a lifetime discovering it. Thank you Dr. Richards for following your heart, your dream, and leading me to a place where the Lord could split my heart wide open. |

"I chose this school because it is the only one I have found that carries this message of truth and that’s exactly what I needed. I had experience in ministry and tons of knowledge but I couldn’t do any of it from the right motive or successfully because of my heart. NOW I can....my life is changed!"

"I have rediscovered God’s value in me. This has given meaning to my passion to help people and hope that God can use me to the ends."

I wanted to take a moment and express my deepest gratitude to my new family here at Impact.
I feel it's honest to say I was completely broken when I arrived here just a little over 60 days ago. Just prior to my arrival my 8-year marriage ended leaving 4 children to be raised by single parents, and I went through Bankruptcy.But the most devastating losses were my lost dreams, focus, purpose, and sadly my identity.
But life here has changed all that. The first session at IISOM began an incredible transformation from the inside out.
I am most humbled by the fact that not only is the grace of God taught here in virtually session (School, regular church sessions, Impact groups etc), it is modeled daily in some way through the lives of ALL who call this home as well.
Here at Impact/IISOM I feel completely surrounded by the love and Peace of God. This pearl of great price has allowed me to develop a righteousness consciousness that in turn has opened up my heart allowing it to begin to feel, dream and live again.I've found myself hungry to witness, encouraged to bless others, and the courage/self confidence that I need are developing from discovering who I really am in Christ from the ashes of despair.Once again my heart is opening up to find and step towards those lost dreams, regain the lost focus, assume my purpose, and recognize my identity in Christ.
I hope this simple letter expresses my sincere appreciation , and hope that each and every person here at Impact sees the vital role they play in changing the way the world sees God.
God bless you all

it's just such great teaching. I find that it's made a world of difference at work. I'm a supervisor in a shop with about 20 people working for me, 20 very different people, and this has been awesome to apply to. And with my boss, I've worked with him for 29 years and I've never been able to communicate with him as I can now, it's amazing. He's a very high "D" so it's great that Jim shares so many of his own experiences with the class, I find it helpful.
Who would have known, I was taking this course to help me with ministering to people in addictions through my church (which I also find helpful) but I never thought that I would learn so much to apply to work. Thanks so much for providing this on line |

Thank you so much for your support and interest !, It is a strange feeling to realize I have in a way worked hard to be another one than I really am, and it is a relief to regocnize myself in another personality. Though, it has its consequences. People around me see me more free and independent, and that causes some problem. It is easy for me to just be myself, and maybe others have not recognized that means I am quite independent and have my own opinions. On the other hand, I do not want to cause conflict, and I think one of the benefit of this course is that I might understand the other one and I hope to be able to adjust my own expression in a way that they feel comfortable.

just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for helping Chris out mentally and spiritually. The last few month have been hard, but something wonderful has come out of it…my husband is finally taking a firm grasp on his position of “spiritual head of the household”. Ever since he has started those classes it has been such a change in him and I for one really love it. He asks me to pray with him and he is being more productive with his “free time”.
We both know God is working, preparing people and setting up something great for him in the career area of life. It makes me feel so much better about the uncertain things in life when I know Chris is leading. It feels like I have been in that role for a while and (for a woman) it gets very tiring and makes you dislike a lot of things about life. So, thanks for your help and suggestions! He told me the other day he was so happy at the turn his life was taking and I couldn’t agree more. I get so excited to think about what the Lord has in store for his life now that he is taking those step and walking into the Lords calling.
