Impact of Huntsville Testimonies

To Pastor Jim Richards,
My husband and I attended your service this past Sunday. God was all over your service! I wanted to run around during the worship!

In May a woman we had met in Minnesota came down to spend one week with us. She had just experienced her husband of forty some years leaving her to reside in heaven. Her grown children asked her what she wanted for Mother's Day and she said to come to Impact for a visit. After her return to Minnesota we got an e-mail from her and she wrote:

'when people ask me how I am doing? I tell them after my trip to Impact, my head got turned around and getting me back to Beth. It jerked me out of whatever I was in and set my feet now on the right path. God is GOOD!!! The best message I got down there was from Jim Richards on Sunday when he preached....."follow Jesus and He will get you to where you are suppose to go." That's what I've been doing, I've been on the go.......always getting blessed. '

This e-mail was so refreshing to me because in the Message Bible in the book of John, oh, about in the sixth chapter area, Jesus said that His part was putting people together, setting them on their feet, and having them ready for the END. I am grateful to be part of the Jesus team here at IMPACT OF HUNTSVILLE.

I really am now more focused on making my dreams a reality more than ever and A lot of that comes from the encouragement and support I have been gratefully given at Impact.. This has truly been a lifesaver for me. Its brought back to a place where I now have a purpose again and I truly grateful for that.

Before I had come to Impact I had totally lost all hope of ever living my dreams or doing anything I truly loved. I had felt that all hope was truly lost and I WOULD JUST be a has been....or even worse a never was..... But Thanks be to my Awesome Creator and loving Father He brought me to a place where the Hopeless and the down trodden. The has been's and the never was'. Could come and find value for themselves and become mighty children of God and live their dreams.

Thanks to Impact's Uncompromising message of God's Love and value for all humanity. I have become a different person that I am truly proud to be. I thank God every day for a place like Impact of Huntsville. And I truly honored to be a part the Impact worship team and will forever treasure these moments in my heart forever.

I'm still attending worship at Impact Ministries in Huntsville (I've been going there almost 4 & 1/2 yrs). Going to Impact is one of the best decisions I've made in my entire life!! God has used the powerful (and practical) teaching / preaching / motivational ministry of Dr. Jim Richards and the staff at Impact to change my life, in a positive way forever!! Praise God!!! At Impact, I've learned on a personal heart level that, God really is good all the time!!! His incredible Love for us never, ever wavers!! He is constantly sending blessings our way. All we have to do is simply position (and condition) our heart to receive His blessings. A life connected to God is always a good life (no matter what the outward circumstances may look like).

Additional Testimonies

I have always wanted to serve, but I never found any place that would really train me. I always felt ill equipped and unprepared. At Impact I am a part of a team. I get incredible training. In fact, the things I learn about serving at church have helped me build my business.


I get real answers to real problems.  When I came here I was really messed up.  I can’t begin to tell you all the ways my life has changed. And all of my family has gotten saved since I’ve been coming here.


I’ve found the family I‘ve been looking for!


I know Impact is here to stay. I’ve been attending for over twenty years. Jim and Brenda live what they preach. I really feel safe here!


My wife and I were concerned when we were transferred to the south. We didn’t know if an interracial couple would be welcome. At Impact we are loved and accepted. There are no racial barriers!


It is great to be a part of a church that reaches beyond the four walls.  Every week people get saved in our services. We have all kinds of outreaches to the community. And our missions’ projects are reaching the entire world!


I have never felt used or manipulated. Brother Jim has helped me live my dream!


Impact has a great reputation all around the world. People move here from everywhere because they know they can get the help they need, live their dreams and discover their destiny!
