ISOH_IMPACT

ISOH/IMPACT (formerly known as International Services of Hope & Impact With God Crusades, Incorporated) is a community based non-profit, tax-exempt, charitable organization whose mandate is devoted to ensuring a brighter future for children. 

International Services of Hope (ISOH) was founded in 1991 by Fred Dieter as an international organization dedicated to reaching families living in poverty throughout Haiti and Guatemala with shipments of food and clothing. Established in 1958, Impact With God Crusades, Inc. (IMPACT) was founded as a non-denominational Christian organization by Reverends Aaron E. and M. Jean Delph. Their heart was one of true servanthood. Their abundance of generosity was not based on religion, color, or ethnic backgrounds. Their lives were dedicated to helping families in crisis through evangelism, crusades, counseling and community outreach. 

In 1981, Linda A. Greene (daughter of Aaron and Jean Delph) became the President of Impact with God Crusades, Inc. In 1991, Linda and her husband Stan were offered the position of administrators for International Services of Hope. 

ISOH/IMPACT was designed to be the focal point of a new and broader framework for community organization and child advocacy. From the initial planning stages in 1991 to formally establishing the organizations in 1998, ISOH/IMPACT has been engaged in community education, advocacy, resource development, and community organizing. Since then, ISOH/IMPACT has played a leading role in organizing efforts on behalf of children locally and internationally. 

The Children’s LightHouse (a ministry of ISOH/IMPACT) was opened October 1, 2000 in Perrysburg, Ohio. This facility was generously donated by a local foundation to assist children and/or their families who are at risk or in a crisis situation.

As co-founder of ISOH/IMPACT, Mark Stanley Greene ("Stan"), 1949-2007, was committed to collaborating and creating networks that impacted lives. In his twenty-five years with the organization, Stan facilitated the shipment and distribution of more than 500 containers of relief aid throughout 130 nations and arranged flights for children coming to the United States for life-saving medical treatment. He also provided logistics for medical and non-medical mission teams, served as Missions Director at Cathedral of Praise, served in MESA Rotary and was a member of the Rotary in Waterville, Ohio. In 1996, Stan assisted in coordinating air transport to the United States for children affected by contaminated cough syrup and airlifted medical supplies to the University Hospital in Haiti. After that he served as a team leader for the Toledo/Honduran Relief Mission and assisted his wife, Linda in sending shipments of relief aid as well as medical and work teams to the areas hardest hit by the Tsunami in Indonesia and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
