Dr. Bob Schuchts Author and Founder of John Paul II Healing Center Those in ministry are among the most underserved and hurting people around us, all the while still pouring out their lives to serve others. Jim Beckman and the team at Impact Center know this personally and have turned their own suffering into a deep well of compassion for those in ministry. I have known Jim for over 20 years. He is trustworthy and faithful. His work at Impact Center is much needed and fruitful because he knows the Healer - Jesus Christ. Father John Riccardo Every once in a while you come across a person with hard feet and a soft heart. In other words, someone who is willing to walk into any situation, no matter the circumstances (hard feet), but with a love for the other that is tangible and transforming (soft heart). Jim is one of those people. It’s been a great grace to know him personally, to be ministered to by him and to minister alongside him. His gifts are so urgently needed in these days God has chosen for us to live. Samuel J. Aquila, S.T.L. Archbishop of Denver My fellow bishops and I regularly hear about lay people and clergy who become overwhelmed by the demands of helping others in our rapidly secularizing culture. Impact Center was formed to support these ministers on the front lines by addressing their immediate spiritual and physical health so that they can have a long and fruitful impact in the Church.
“Do not lose heart, even if you should discover that you lack qualities necessary for the work to which you are called. He who called you will not desert you, but the moment you are in need he will stretch out his saving hand.”
