Description

Impact is defined as the action of one object forcibly coming in contact with another.
From that we assume in order to make impact the impact person needs to be big, loud and outgoing . . In this short skit our actors think about some impact people in the Bible: Andy the introducer. . . Pete the strong protector. . . Mary the quiet helper. Who are impact people in our lives, and how important are they? How do we know when an impact person comes along and how we should react.

Reggie: That’s not like you, what’s happenin’ man?

Johnny: Mrs. Johnson went and told me I had to write a story about “The Person Who Has Made The Greatest Impact In My Life.”

Dawn: What for does your teacher want to know that for?

Joanie: Well that doesn’t sound so tough, likely lots of guys have made an impact.

Johnny: Nah . . . (thinks) . . . Well, maybe my big brother Tim. . . when we play football, Tim he likes to jump on me, that for sure does make an impact.
