Duane and Melonie Erickson
Founders of Impact World Missions
Impact World Missions is a non-denominational, not for profit missions organization established in 1998 by Duane and Melonie Erickson. For over 2 decades they have worked as youth, children and senior pastors, taking teams from America to various nations. By taking young people from the church pew to the foreign pulpits, they realized this self-absorbed generation needs a purpose!
The mission of Impact is to develop missionaries in the United States and abroad to touch their generation. They work with the local pastors abroad in reaching the youth and children of their communities, and inspire young people all over the world to live for God and realize that He has a purpose and destiny for their lives.
"Over the past decades, Duane and Melonie have taken hundreds of our young people into 11 nations to preach the gospel of Christ. Their integrity, strong leadership skills and mentoring have ignited a new generation with a passion for missions, a passion to change nations."
