Global Impact Week is a special emphasis week for the purpose of developing our community's worldview, drawing attention to the urgent needs around the world, and discovering our unique role as Christians in addressing those needs.
Non-profit organizations and missionaries from around the world come to campus for one week to engage students in discussions about global issues, missions, and various outreach opportunities. These special guests speak in classrooms, during evening events, and residence hall Bible studies.
Global Impact Week 2010, October 18-22 was a great success! Thank you to all the participating organizations!

Global Impact Week is a function of the World Outreach and Missions Office.
Through the development of strategic international partnerships, careful research, student training, faculty sponsorships, and attention to logistical details, the Office of World Outreach and Missions seeks to provide the Greenville College community with quality, interactive opportunities to witness and participate in God's work around the globe. It is our belief that short term mission experiences encourage students to expand their worldview, challenge the limits of their personal contribution to the international landscape, and intorduce them to a future in mission, relief, or developmental work.
The World Outreach and Missions Office exists to create and promote valuable learning and service opportunities around the world; crossing cultures, and raising awareness about global issues.
