Impact Worship in Schools

At Impact Life Youth Ministries, we are passionate about seeing the lives of young men and women transformed for Christ Jesus, and one of the ways we do this is through Impact Worship in Schools.

We recognize that today’s youth are constantly being fed messages from the world, some of which lead to confusion, pressure, and broken identity. That’s why we step into schools with a mission: to bring a life-giving, Christ-centered experience that speaks directly to their hearts and destinies.

Through vibrant worship, the Word of God, creative dance, poetry, and testimony, we create a space where students can encounter God in a real and personal way. We also bring tangible love by giving away scholastic materials to students who are struggling because we know that meeting practical needs opens the door for spiritual impact.

Our heart is to feed them not only with what helps their education but also what fuels their purpose. We believe that when a young person meets Jesus, their future shifts. They begin to make better decisions, dream bigger, walk in integrity, and grow into influential leaders in their schools, communities, careers, and in the Kingdom of God.

Impact Worship in Schools is not just a program it’s a response to a deep need.

It’s a movement to raise a generation that knows their worth, walks in truth, and lives boldly for Christ.

We love the youth. We believe in their future. And we’re committed to seeing them thrive.

Youth Leadership Ministry Course Update

Our 9-month Youth Ministry Leadership Training Course began in August with around 50 youth leaders from various churches across Rwanda. The class runs through May 2025 in partnership with Bill and Bobbie Trenckmann with Ministry Leadership Development (MLD).

It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm of youth leaders as they engage with this training. The methodology introduced by Bill and Bobbie is a fresh and transformative approach, quite different from what has been used in the past. The insightful questions and thoughtful responses from the leaders during these first few days of study have been encouraging. We believe that by the end of this course, these leaders will be better equipped to disciple and lead the youth in their churches.
