How can studying Social Impact Ministries help you be a difference-maker for Christ?
Christians have been leaders to some of the most influential social organizations for centuries, including international names like World Relief, Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army. But you don't need a big name to have a big impact. Christ called us to be a light in a dark world. Christians focused on social impact can get involved and make a difference in their local communities and societies close to their hearts.
