Where did ICM come from?
Impact Canada’s history goes back to 1941 when Western Tract Mission was founded by George W. Elliot, an enthusiastic witness and Gospel tract worker. Armed with a commercial printing press, WTM distributed close to a million gospel tracts across Canada every year at its peak. At that time, WTM’s mission was: “Workers together with God.”
In 2012, the Director, Arnold Stobbe, sought young believers to pass on the leadership of WTM. The name “Impact Canada Ministries” has been adopted since then. Elliot’s vision remains at the heart of ICM today: working together with God to reach Canadians with the Gospel, while mobilizing confident witnesses of Jesus Christ.
What does ICM do now?
ICM prayerfully seeks God to bring revival in the hearts of Canadians through reaching and teaching that models God's love and cultivates a humility toward His Word. We mobilize confident witnesses through Gospel-centered equipping and training that nurtures a lifestyle of evangelistic disciple-making, partnering with likeminded ministries to accomplish this goal.
