Team Impact Crusade scheduled for Church at Quail Creek


By: Rachel Nelson

According to Dr. Ed Young of Second Baptist Church in Houston, 1,200 decisions were made for Christ during four nights of a Team Impact Crusade at his church.

"If you are looking to make an impact for Jesus Christ in your community and in your church, then let me personally recommend Team Impact. This team of humble, hard-working guys has done their homework. They come prepared and let me tell you, they work hard," Young said.

Team Impact travels to churches, schools, military bases and other locations to perform amazing stunts including breaking stacks of bricks with their elbows, power lifting heavy weights and ripping phone books in half. In the midst of the intensity, they will present the Gospel message by giving personal testimonies and preaching the Word of God.

There are four chances left to see electrifying performances of strength, force and power from Team Impact in Amarillo. The group of body builders will appear nightly at The Church at Quail Creek, located at 801 Tascosa Road, tonight through Sunday at 7 p.m. Admission to the event is free and those who attend will have a chance to win door prizes such as an XBOX 360, iPOD Video, LCD TV, PlayStation 3 and a Six Flags vacation.

Many Churches have seen the lives of their congregations changed during Team Impact Crusades. Their Web site, www.team-impact.com, said the group has learned that if they can get the crowd's attention, they will listen to what the team has to say.

"Our unique style of ministry uses the gifts of elite athletes performing feats of strength that demand attention. The appeal is nearly irresistible,especially for those who would normally never attend church," the Web site explains. "While the method may be different, the message remains the same -Salvation through grace through faith in Jesus Christ."

Other churches that say they have experienced the move of the Holy Spirit through Team Impact strongly recommend the technique for church and personal revival.

"I've enjoyed getting to know the guys at Team Impact over the last several years. Obviously these are great men of physical strength and stature, but what I like the most about them, what I really love about these guys, is their great strength for Christ and their heart for God," said Dr. Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano.

Graham said the Team Impact crusade is the most effective method of evangelism the church has ever seen.

All ages are encouraged to go to the show. For more information, visit team-impact.com or call The Church at Quail Creek at 806-358-7681.
