IWT The "Impact World Tour" will be meeting Tuesday, January 14^th at 6pm at Dairy Queen.  Impact World Tour has a goal of reaching every person, every nation and every generation with the gospel and give a message of hope. The meeting would be to share the vision of IWT, and also to try and form a steering team for the Groton community and the outreach.  If possible, we would also like to book a churches kick off and even a community dessert banquet for Groton. They will do events and school assemblies such as a Power Team, GX bikers, hip hop dancers and an Island Breeze Polynesian show next fall. They recently completed a tour in Britton, Webster, Sisseton, Langford, Waubay and Watertown.
 
Our initial vision, would be to use Aberdeen as a hub for an 8 county outreach.  Here are the counties we are aiming to hit with the cities we are hoping to do outreaches in, in the parenthesis - Brown (Aberdeen and Groton), McPherson (Leola), Faulk (Faulkton), Edmonds (Ipswich), Spink (Redfield), Potter (Gettysburg), Walworth (Mobridge), and Campbell (Mound City or Herreid).   In addition, we are also planning on reaching up into North Dakota to do an outreach in Ellendale in association with Trinity Bible College.
 
Only 4 percent of our young people are engaged in Church. Over 50 percent grow up in divorced homes. The average 18 year old has seen over 18,000 murders on TV, and your youth witness over 14,000 sexual references per year in the media. Indeed our kids are under attack! We have a unique opportunity to see a great number of youth choose Jesus and change their future.  In order for this to happen we will need many volunteers and much prayer.
 
Please consider coming to the first meeting at Groton Dairy Queen at 6pm Jan. 14^th.
