The Seventh-day Adventist Church has unveiled 'OneVoice27', a worldwide evangelism initiative designed to bring together media outreach, local churches, and members in a global effort to share the gospel in September 2027. Church leaders emphasized the need for spiritual preparation, including a 40-day prayer initiative and study of the biblical books of Daniel and Revelation, as well as the development of shareable content and digital tools to equip members and reach seekers.

Why it matters

OneVoice27 represents a significant mobilization of the Adventist Church's global resources and membership to fulfill its mission of sharing the gospel. The initiative aims to transcend 'maintenance' of existing efforts and instead catalyze a new, more aggressive and coordinated approach to evangelism, leveraging digital platforms and empowering local congregations and young people.

The details

The OneVoice27 initiative will be launched globally on September 5, 2026, with Adventist entities, institutions, and members using social media and other media platforms to announce the upcoming effort. A central focus will be the spiritual preparation of church members worldwide, including a 40-day prayer initiative and study of the books of Daniel and Revelation. The church is also developing shareable digital content, a global billboard campaign, and the 'Global Bible School' platform to support member engagement and connect interested individuals with local congregations.

  • The initiative will be launched globally on September 5, 2026.
  • A 40-day prayer initiative will take place from July 23 to August 31, 2027.

What they’re saying

“OneVoice27 is not a new name that you give for the same things that you're already doing. Because if you just give the name to do exactly what you are doing, this is not a movement. That is just maintenance.”

— Erton Köhler, President of the General Conference

“Every great movement of God begins with prayer. OneVoice27 is no exception. The key to every missionary, evangelistic, soul-winning success is prayer.”

— Ramon Canals, GC Ministerial Association Secretary

“OneVoice27 needs to be in our DNA.”

— Audrey Andersson, GC Vice President

“'All Things New' is not our promise as a church. It is God's promise to His children. We want each member to internalize that message for themselves, and as we create content to share, we want to ensure that the world hears that restoration can come only through Jesus Christ.”

— Alyssa Truman, GC Communication Director

“The impact of OneVoice27 will never be accomplished through the institutions of the church. It will be accomplished through the local church member sharing Jesus.”

— Richard Stephenson, GC Associate Treasurer

What’s next
