Tom founded Impact Ministries International (IMI) to help him expand his evangelism and prophetic ministry in the late 1980’s. God has turned IMI into something so much more than just prophesying and evangelizing, it has become a global mission organization. In the early 1990’s with the help of Rev. Stephen Stauffacher IMI began to ordain people into the ministry.
Tom and Teresa have met so many people gifted and called into ministry and who are not finding acceptance or a platform to do what they are called to do. They feel strongly that they must do something about it. They created an ordination process that has ordained over 750 people who now serve God as pastors, teachers, missionaries, church leaders, and so much more in over thirty countries. IMI ministers are found all over the world in countries including Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, Mexico, Belize, Haiti, Colombia, Argentina, Ukraine Belarus, Ireland, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, Philippines, Cambodia, Burma, Laos, Liberia, Norway, UK, Ireland, Canada, Fiji, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Congo and Uganda.
In 2003 he went to Honduras to preach a revival and scout out land for an orphanage. It was there he saw a horrific scene: The emaciated bodies of starving orphans and widows combing through the hot and foul garbage dumps in search of scraps to fill their bellies. Then finding out that the little children have to become prostitutes to feed their younger siblings. Something had to change.
They decided to send $100 a month to feed twenty single moms corn, beans and rice. Out of that experienced birthed a world-wide ministry. IMI has fed children in Argentina, Bangladesh, Belarus, Guatemala, Kenya, Haiti, Honduras, India, Sudan, Philippines, Cambodia, Guyana, and Colombia. A total of 55 countries have been served by Impact Ministries in different areas. IMI has given over 10 million dollars to help the poor and needy.
IMI has a widow and orphan sponsorship program. So far, hundreds of kids have been sponsored – thanks to those who come to Tom’s meetings and share the Stammans’ burden to help feed a starving child. So far, IMI has feeding centers, missions, and programs in Argentina, Bangladesh, Belarus, Guatemala, Kenya, Haiti, Honduras, India, Sudan, Philippines, Cambodia, Madagascar, Guyana, and Columbia.
IMI has also dug 32 water wells in eight countries including Honduras, Burma, Malawi, Cambodia, Vietnam, Liberia, Madagascar, and Laos.
In 2008 we launched our first agricultural project in Uganda. (Agriculture is talked about in detail in another part of the website) We started in Uganda where we bought 100 acres. Then we expanded to Guatemala. We currently are working on a plan to be raise all of our own food in Honduras by March 2017 to feed 200 people a day.
God has surely taken IMI to new areas of the world in order to minister His Gospel and also in order to show the sign of faith that we have in Jesus Christ. The purpose of IMI is to go into all the world and minister so the body of Christ may be built up, that the world may see the amazing miracles of God, and that souls will be saved and transformed. God takes Tom and Teresa Stamman all over the world to feed and care for those who have never felt cared for. “It surely is His work, and we are blessed to be His servants”, say the Stammans.
IMI is a large wheel with many spokes including: Agriculture, building, overseeing pastors and churches, building a city called the City of Refuge, coaching and mentoring, education, entrepreneurism, prophetic prayer, feeding poor children and widows, mission trips, helping orphans, ordaining ministers, cabin rentals, and a bed and breakfast. We are multi-faceted and believe we have something for everyone. For more details, look up the activities that you are interested in.
Today IMI offers you the opportunity to save the lives of children through sponsorship and donation. Your financial gifts go to the child you sponsor. Your financial gifts also are used for one of our many other projects that directly help children and poor communities. With your help IMI can continue to provide clean drinking water, offer fresh meals, support farms, build and support orphanages for abused and abandoned children, offer a Christian education to rescued orphans, and build businesses and communities.
Help us make an impact on our world. Donate to save lives, feed children, educate our future leaders, and support communities across the globe while shining the light of Christ. Join us on mission trips to the countries we support, or Minister with us to save souls and plant churches in communities where the Gospel has not yet been heard. We hope to partner with you very soon.
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled, without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is it?” So also faith by itself, if it does not have works is dead, but someone will say, “You have faith and I have works, “show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” James 2:14-18 ESV
