TEAM IMPACT- OCTOBER 28 - NOVEMBER 1, at Faith Pleases God Church

Project Future Design is bringing Team Impact back to the Valley for the first time since 2006. They will be presenting powerful, life-changing assemblies in 20-30 school campuses in the Harlingen/San Benito area. They will also be presenting full-scale, blow-out performances on a specially constructed stage in the evenings at Faith Pleases God Church , October 28-November 1, 7 pm nightly. These men perform acts of strength that connect with the young and old in ways that few other people can, and they deliver a powerful message of inspiration and hope that literally impacts students and people of all ages. Don’t miss a single performance! You can help sponsor the group by calling 428-4848 or email john@projectfuturedesign.org.
