FROM STUDENTS TO DISCIPLE MAKERS

Urban Impact’s influence extends beyond a program or a season.
These stories from the 2026 appeal show what that investment can become.

DRE

STUDENT ATHLETE & DISCIPLE MAKER

After 13 years of involvement at Urban Impact, Dre is now a college football player studying Communications Media. He leads Sunday Bible studies on campus and continues investing in others as mentors once invested in him.

INDIA

MEDICAL ASSISTANT & DISCIPLE MAKER

India gave her life to Christ during a high school choir retreat. Today she brings care and compassion to patients as a medical assistant, serves in her church community, and continues encouraging younger students.

JOSIAH

MUSICIAN & DISCIPLE MAKER

After serving as an Urban Impact Performing Arts Fellow, Josiah moved into worship and live production work. He also shares the gospel through music, including collaborations with hip-hop and R&B artists.

A LEGACY OF FAITH AND IMPACT.

 

Justin was one of our first Fellows at the Training Center in 2020 and helped lead our choir and higher level signing groups. After his Urban Impact training, he moved back to New York to be a worship coordinator, then launched young adult ministry at his home church, and was ordained as a Pastor of Young Adults and Congregational Care. He continued his education, graduating with a Master of Biblical Studies from seminary, and is currently working on his thesis “Family Discipleship Groups for the Spiritual Growth of Congregants in an African American Church Context” to achieve his doctorate from Roberts Wesleyan University, where he also acts as adjuct professor.

Together, we can continue transforming lives and spreading the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

impact stories

Hezekiah

One day at Summer Day Camp, Hezekiah’s tutor pointed out that he was reading first grade words, things he had yet to learn in school! Not only did Hezekiah progress in his literacy skills while in our programs, but he made the decision to follow Jesus and received a Bible! This school year, he brought his new Bible to class as a show-and-tell to share his favorite book with classmates.

CORA

We met Cora as a Kindergarten student in Literacy Support as she was just beginning to learn her letters. After meeting her parents, we were able to also register her for several other programs including Tutoring Center, Soccer, Performing Arts Academy, Learning Labs, and Summer Day Camp. Now we see Cora almost every week of the year and have the chance to serve her and her family holistically! At the beginning of this summer, Cora scored proficient in her reading test, which means she is reading at grade level!
