GLOBAL MISSIONS

Global Impact engages local and global outreach & missions to win our world to Christ and change our culture for the Kingdom of God. Minister George Matei is overseeing our Global Missions department. His love for the Lord and gift of evangelism has assisted many going on trips and participating in outreaches. He is a great asset to our team!

Global missions include short term trips and collaborations with city and country wide campaigns geared to evangelize and disciple children, youth, and adults to know Christ and make Him known. Teams conduct outreaches in parks, city plazas, schools, churches and civic auditoriums and arenas. Special focused teams plant churches, orphanages, schools and conduct conferences.

BRAZIL 2026: We are planning our next group trip to Brazil in April of 2026. A team of 10 people will be going to support Hope International, a ministry we have been to before. Our team will be doing schools, churches, children's outreaches, and medical support. Our special project includes our CAVU Media Studio. We will be capturing footage of all the elements of their ministry and assisting them in putting together a documentary and also small clips for their social media. We will also be in discussion for possibly putting our Embassy Training Center curriculum into Portuguese for pastoral training.

GUATEMALA/EL SALVADOR 2026: A team of 6 pastors and ministry leaders will be heading to Central America in May of 2026. We have over 300 pastors and leaders in our Embassy Training Center program, directed & led by Pastor Marvin Tobar. Our role will be to hold seminars, graduate the 1st year students and also hold a full graduation for our 2nd year students as they finish their program.
