IMPACT intends to share how the gospel of Jesus is impacting New York City and the nations through TMH. As the Lord provides the necessary financial support, we plan to travel to the Philippines, Mexico, and India this year. If you are interested in bringing a short-term church mission team to NYC, please email us. We hope that you are inspired by reading these testimonies of gospel impact.
A New York Minute
DAVID HILL
I HAD BEEN PRAYING EACH MORNING AT A PARK IN TRIBECA. One day I noticed a man sitting on the bench opposite from me. He was typing feverishly on his laptop. We struck up a conversation and Steven told me that he was job-seeking. He had sent his resume to every architectural firm in New York. Steven had been very successful in his field, until the economic downturn after COVID.
It seemed that Steven was searching for more than a job. After several meetings in the park, I found out that he was staying at the Bowery Mission in Tribeca. I felt that his search for a new career was reflective of another search in his heart.
"God wants to help you," I found the faith and courage to say to him one day. Typical of most New Yorkers that I have shared the gospel with, I found Steven's reaction to be one of openness, rather than hostility.
After sharing that Christ was not looking for him to clean up his life, but that He could come to Him with all of his doubt, fear, and sin, Steven seemed deeply touched. Time and circumstance did not permit us to pray together that day, but I know the Holy Spirit can finish what He started. Steven's last words to me will never leave me. They echo in my heart, as I pray for him: "God has been speaking to me a lot lately. I know it is time that I began to listen."
In the city that never sleeps, sometimes the greatest impact for Christ can be the words that are left hanging at the end of a conversation. Please pray for Steven and the many New Yorkers who, like him, are searching for hope.
Mission Philippines

I HAVE VISITED THE PHILIPPINES MANY TIMES. This spring missions trip is going to be very special however, as my husband travels with me for his first trip to my native country. Together we will share the gospel of Jesus in two churches, one of which I have prayed for and financially supported for many years. On this trip David and I will also be joining a medical missions team for a few days. We are looking forward to this first missions trip of 2025, and we believe that the Lord will provide for our needs.
Upcoming Trips
As the Lord provides, we are making plans to accept invitations this year to work alongside churches in sharing the gospel of Jesus in two additional nations. Check back here soon for updates! Thank you for prayerfully supporting and partnering with us.
