Our History
Dean Trune (Impact’s Executive Director), served as the campus minister at Michigan State University for Michigan Christian Campus Ministries for 11 years, then felt led by God to begin a campus ministry planting organization. So, in 1995 Harvest Campus Ministries was begun.
The first campus ministry to be planted was at the State University at New York in Albany, New York. In April of 1999, the Harvest board of directors changed the ministry’s name to Impact Ministries International.
Impact’s philosophy of ministry has long been: We will not minister where we have not prayed.
“Prayer journeys” and “prayer gatherings” are often our first step onto a campus. Impact currently has ministries in several states and one international campus ministry in New Zealand.
Dean’s book was recently published, Path Toward Passion: Nine Disciplines that Connect your Heart to God’s.
