Large Enough to make a Difference, Small Enough to Care

Large Enough to make a Difference, Small Enough to Care

“I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help you have given my family and I during lockdown. Two weeks ago, I received groceries and blankets from your church. I was so blessed by the help we received during this difficult time. I was sick for almost a month, my husband was working in Kaikoura, and my oldest son (age 9) was looking after me. My family and friends didn’t help me because they thought I had coronavirus (COVID19), but I tested negative twice. During that time, we had little food, but we had faith in God to look after us. When I was in bed one day the only thing I could think of was – I am going to die, but if I die who will look after my kids! I opened my Bible and read Psalm 27:3-4, and it gave me strength. Soon after a lady called me from City Impact Church and wanted to help us. Thank God He answered my prayers. Thank you City Impact Church for being there for me when I needed help. May God bless you for all you have done for us and others who need help.”

Family from Panama Road School


One of the phrases that you’ll often hear around City Impact Church is that we’re ‘Large enough to make a difference, and small enough to care.’ Our heart is that we use what God has placed in our hands to make a real difference in our community, showing His love in a practical way.

We started doing Community Impact Days in 2008. Four times a year, around 700 volunteers mobilise across our campuses to go out and make a difference in the lives of families and individuals in our community. Whether cleaning windows or mowing lawns, our heart is to help them practically and show them that God cares about them! In 2020 in response to the hardship many were suffering in lockdown, our community projects grew to include ‘Here to Help’. Here to Help is an initiative to providing food and groceries to families who are struggling and in need of food.

At our most recent Community Impact day in August 2022, we fed 463 people and helped 35 families around their homes. That’s a total of 162 families that we got to bless in just one day! Over the 12 months from mid-2021 to mid-2022, we gave out over 900 vegetable boxes, 600 blankets, 1100 Christmas boxes and 600 pairs of warm PJs; that’s 3350 families who’ve experienced the love of Jesus in a practical way!

In 2013, we partnered with Ps Frank and Gladys Godberg and launched City Impact Church India. Ps Frank and Gladys are involved with Missions work across three states; Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh. This work includes 48 local Churches, three children’s homes, and a medical clinic that have all been founded by Ps Frank & Gladys. In 2015 we were thrilled to extend the Village Impact initiative to include the hundreds of children in the three children’s homes. It was a thrill to help Ps Frank & Gladys pioneer their first medical clinic. This medical clinic serves as a critical outreach to the surrounding low-income families that cannot afford primary medical care.

For over two decades we’ve continued to be involved in the nation of Mexico. Our ministry and outreach is in Baja, working with four local Mission Campuses in La Paz, Marquez De Leon, San Jose & Cabo San Lucas. We have a long term partnership with our local pastors Jorge & Yolanda, Alejandro & Yadira, and Benny & Marychuy. Each of our pastors are involved in extending the gospel throughout the region. As a Church, we help sponsor poor Mexican families through these local churches. We also send regular mission teams to volunteer in medical clinics, local outreaches, and building projects.

As a Church, our outreach initiatives in the Philippines have continued since the early 1990s. In 2015, we increased our outreach into the nation with Ps Fortune & Roselyn in Tagum City, Mindanao. Ps Fortune & Roselyn have established City Impact Church Philippines which includes church plants in Tagum City, Compostela, Montevista, Monkayo, Maparat, and Laak, with more church plants in the pipeline. We know that through this local church partnership, we will continue to see influential and healthy local churches established throughout the Philippines.

In 2005, we sent our first missions team of 25 volunteers to the Island of Vava’u for ten days to build a church building for Pastors Havili and Mele. In 2009, we sent another team to build an extension to accommodate their rapid growth. Then in 2012, a group of 20 volunteers was sent to City Impact Church Nuku’alofa to construct a new building for Pastor Aisea. A team of twenty also went back to Vava’u to paint the local hospital and school, run medical clinics and run an outreach programme in the local villages. We are thrilled to be able to support City Impact Churches in Tonga in a practical way.

Since the year 2000, we have successfully built 37 health clinics across south-west regions of China and across the border into Myanmar. We were also excited to extend the reach of these medical clinics into the nation of Nepal, where we have commissioned building four new clinics. These medical clinics reach over 40,000 people per year and reach people in more remote mountainous regions. Going on for two decades, City Impact Church members Keith and Jan Morris, co-ordinate the building and repair of these medical facilities. Many of which have faced the challenges of horrific monsoon seasons. The mission of the medical clinics is exciting. We supply critical primary healthcare to desperately poor villagers, and more importantly, these clinics are strategically located next to a local church. We know that the local pastors are ministering to each person who walks through the doors.

Lorraine Dierck has an outreach programme called Bangkok Bible Centre, which is supported by City Impact Church. The centre targets the children and youth of Thailand by taking the gospel into state schools, even schools located in temple grounds. Through her ministry, thousands have come to know Christ with many now teaching in schools on the ministry’s behalf. The centre is also involved in church planting and evangelism in rural areas. We also support the sending of evangelistic magazines to 5000 school libraries which are read by two million children every year.

We have a strong relationship with Reverend Suliasi Kurulo, founder of Christian Mission Fellowship International. This organisation is responsible for sending missionaries from Fiji to the world’s most remote, poor and marginalised populations. Through Reverend Suliasi, we also helped to support the ‘Global Compassion’ programme during the 2012 floods in Fiji, supplying food and housing for those families displaced due to the floods. We also support a Fiji orphanage through sending care packages and funds.

Our 7 Medical Clinics in Nepal support over 10,000 people, with 3 NEW clinics launched this year.
