Impact World Tour was founded in 1993 in Wisconsin, USA and has grown to be the largest traveling campaign of its type in the world. The Tour has the power to transform communities and it particularly addresses youth on contemporary issues.

Professional performances feature world-class extreme athletes and cultural artists. Local churches and business people contribute funds and provide some infrastructure as well as run ongoing programs.

IWT brings a positive message of hope and destiny - while at the same time providing an evening of unique, quality entertainment, suitable for all ages.

IWT was invited into communities throughout New Zealand by regional Maori leadership, civic leaders and church leaders. New Zealand was IWT's first-ever nationwide campaign. The Tour began in January 2004 and moved throughout the country for four months, visiting over 40 cities and towns during that time.

IWT-NZ is now helping to serve campaigns in Australia, the South Pacific and Asia.
