Impact Missions Inc

 

Impact Missions was formally known as...
Desoto Sunrise Homes, which was founded over 30 years ago as a not-for-profit organization by a group of Desoto County community leaders to provide a safe, faith-based home for abused and neglected children. It was dedicated to providing residential care for up to 12 abused and neglected girls.

The Girls' Home was the first step in this ministry’s long legacy of care. Little did the founders know that they were paving the way for something bigger than they could ever dream.

In 1985, the Sunrise Homes opened the Emergency Shelter in Horn Lake. This facility enabled 24 hour crisis intervention placement of "at-risk" children through the local youth courts and the Mississippi Department of Human Services.

In 1995, the ministry was expanded with the addition of a Boy’s Home.

Christian Counseling Ministries of Southaven (CCMS) was founded by David R. Donaldson, Ph.D. in 1999 and incorporated soon after in April of 2000. This biblically-based organization was established as a faith based, not-for-profit ministry to the local community. In 2001, a satellite office was established within Barlett Baptist Church.

The collective leadership of the three ministries recognized a tremendous potential to consolidate the ministries into one, unified organization. Through fourteen months of planning and development, the merger of all three organizations into CCMS was completed on December 31, 2006. This new, combined ministry necessitated a name change. After months of prayerful consideration, Impact Missions was the chosen name for our ministry. The vision of all three ministries continues today within Impact Missions.

We're here to help with crisis intervention. Help us be a season of hope.
