OUR CAUSE
Trauma Is Debilitating & Can Hurt Every Part Of Us
Trauma affects every part of us — mind, body, and spirit. When we are not healed from our trauma, we are closed off from engagement with God. According to Dr. Diane Langberg:
Trauma overwhelms human coping mechanisms. Trauma is difficult to express. Trauma shatters dignity. Trauma destroys choice.
When our urban church leaders encounter neighbors suffering from trauma, they need to be equipped to provide basic trauma care so that every barrier to engaging with God is removed.
Provide Trauma Healing & Certification To Urban Leaders
At World Impact, we believe the hope of the world is the local church and that our local leaders need to be holistically and wholly trained and prepared to build healthy churches.
When more healthy churches are in impoverished neighborhoods, lives are transformed by the message of the Bible.
The problem is many of our urban church leaders are suffering the negative impact of trauma and so are their neighbors and church members.
When trauma is unaddressed, hearts are hardened by anger and bitterness and the Hope of the Gospel falls on hard ground and cannot take root.
We believe every urban church leader and their neighbors deserve healing from their traumas.
We’ve spent the last 50 years empowering thousands of urban leaders across the Globe to receive access to training that can transform their ministry and their communities. And that includes trauma healing and training.
When you donate this month to World Impact, you help provide trauma healing for leaders from their own pain. Those leaders can then become certified to provide basic trauma care to their neighbors and church members.
When we work together to provide trauma healing, we are fulfilling the Gospel by setting the captives free (Isaiah 61:1-4).

RAFFI & MAJD
Since 2015, Canada has welcomed 45,000 Syrian refugees. Raffi and Majd, both Syrian-born Canadian citizens, felt a calling to minister to these traumatized men, women, and children. They attended a World Impact Trauma Healing training and became healing group facilitators.
They then translated the material into Arabic to use it in their outreach to refugees. Not only do they host healing groups for refugees, but they also train psychologists, psychiatrists, Christian counselors, and pastors across Canada. Recently a pastor who had attended one of the training sessions visited a man who was contemplating suicide. The pastor was able to use his training from Raffi and Majd to share the hope of the gospel and save the man’s life.
