Island Impact Ministries, a U.S. registered, 501(c) non-profit organization, established in 2003. Our Christian faith compels us to spread the good news of the Gospel to the poor. We believe that "faith without works is dead" so we share our faith by helping others in need by providing them with much-needed medical, food and housing assistance to the people of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. These goals are accomplished through our local medical clinics, and hosting visiting teams and the generous donations of ordinary people.

Foreign missions have a profound and far-reaching impact on the world by bringing hope, healing, and transformation to communities in need. They address physical needs through healthcare, education, clean water, and economic development, while also meeting spiritual needs by sharing the love of Christ and the message of salvation. Missions empower local leaders and foster sustainable change by equipping individuals with tools, skills, and faith to build stronger communities. They also break down cultural barriers, promoting understanding and unity among diverse peoples. Ultimately, foreign missions extend God’s love and light to places that might otherwise remain in darkness, leaving a legacy of hope and lasting change.
Foreign missions can deeply impact the local church by igniting a passion for service and global outreach within the congregation. It fosters unity as members come together to pray, support, and participate in mission efforts. These experiences often inspire a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper commitment to the Great Commission, encouraging the church to engage more actively in local and global ministry. Additionally, stories of transformation and faith from the mission field energize the congregation, broadening their understanding of God’s work worldwide and reinforcing the importance of being His hands and feet. Foreign missions remind the local church that they are part of a larger, global body of Christ.
