Impact Prayer Ministry is directed by Tom Lemler.

Impact Prayer Ministry officially began on June 1, 2006. However, the seeds and roots of this ministry go back much further in time and run much deeper.

God took a youth minister in transition and planted in his mind Ezekiel 22:30 as a life verse to guide him in living out of his pursuit of God. February 3, 2000 was a turning point in the life of this minister. It began a commitment in Tom's life to be one who would "stand in the gap" on behalf of others.

Tom lives in South Bend, Indiana with his wife, Mary Jane, and their daughter, Susan. Tom and Mary Jane have been married since September 21, 1981. Susan was born in 1989 and brings great joy and blessing to everyone she meets.

Susan has Cerebral Palsy, Autism, and a Seizure Disorder which greatly limit her abilities in the physical realm. Yet her spiritual awareness is greater than nearly anyone with "normal" physical capabilities and she continues to teach Tom and those around her about what it means to have a complete faith and trust in God.

Tom's preaching and teaching are designed to connect you and your congregation with God by helping you seek greater intimacy with Him.
