Hi, I'm James.

For over a decade I've helped Christian funders and faith-driven organisations measure what truly matters - spiritual and social transformation, not just good activities. We provide the frameworks, tools and team I wish every Kingdom funder and organisation had.

We believe

  1. Impact measurement is a form of stewardship.

What People Say?

Our clients love the results we deliver consistently.

Mordechai Wiseman

International Director, Israel Firstftuits

"Standing at the intersection of the global discourse on human flourishing, impact investment, faith and assessment science, James & the team at Kingdom Impact are an essential resource for anyone who wants to know if their work is making a meaningful difference in this world.”

Bill Passons

COO International Ministries, AMG International

“Working with James and the Kingdom Impact team has been an incredible experience. Even as an expert in this field, James has a unique ability to ‘put the cookies on the bottom shelf,’ making complex spiritual metrics accessible and actionable for our entire team. Thanks to KI, the complex science of spiritual metrics is now accessible to mid-sized ministries like ours. Kingdom Impact has been a trusted and invaluable partner every step of the way."

Cameron Doolittle

Candle Giving

“Too many ministries hope and believe that what they’re doing is working. But shouldn’t we all be evaluating whether it's working? James Waters is the best in the world at helping Jesus’ mercy-focused ministries learn and discern what’s working. As I help givers invest millions in God’s work around the world, I interact with dozens of ministries and funders. Some are all “heart”; others are all “head”. James brings together Spirit-led heart with a wisdom-filled mind, delivering powerful findings that aren’t just right; they’re wise"

Toby Kilgore

Managing Director, Sinapis

“I have had the pleasure of working with James Waters and Kingdom Impact in two capacities: first, in thinking through how KI could be helpful for founders of smaller growing businesses who are committed to having intentional impact; and, second as we have engaged them to assess our organization’s own culture and general health. I have found their frameworks to be well thought through, and the findings helpful in having good internal discussions about where and how we might strengthen our organization’s culture."

Dustin Parker

CEO, Box Companies

“We hired James & Kingdom Impact because the famous pollster, George Barna once told me “you get what you measure”. At the time we just could not find anything that helped us concretely measure our Kingdom values and the impact we were having. James and KI was just the anecdote, utilising a customised, objective based measurement of our Kingdom Impact and our fulfillment of our Vision and Values. Just as valuable was the analysis and recommendations that came from such. We worked on the takeaways over the next two years – great ROI for our investment."

Dan Owolabi

CEO, Branches Worldwide

“Branches takes pride in making a genuine impact globally. However, after meeting with James, I understood that our definition of “Impact” was vague at best and disingenuous at worst. Since collaborating with James and Kingdom Impact, we have not only clarified the impact we make in God’s kingdom but also developed tools to measure the results with integrity. James enlightened us that while stories of impact are captivating (everyone loves a great story!), it is hard data, measurable results, and repeatable practices that truly drive progress."

Luke Dooley

CEO, OCEAN Programs

“The team at Kingdom Impact brings quantifiable clarity to organizations seeking to bridge the gap from sentiment to data. Their professional approach to digging into our programs, strategies, and outputs, really helped connect the dots between our effort and the outcomes we seek for our constituents."

Our vision

Towards a learning Kingdom.

We're building more than tools. As Kingdom organisations measure their impact, we learn together what's truly bearing fruit - and share that insight across the ecosystem, so giving, and the work it funds, grow in effectiveness.

"Too many Kingdom organisations are changing lives, building communities, and advancing God’s Kingdom, but aren’t sure what’s working and can’t show it. We’re here to change that"
