The Impact 2025 Evangelistic Campaign, held from March 1-22, 2025, was nothing short of a spiritual awakening. As a groundbreaking event that captured the essence of Pentecost 2025, it left a lasting impact on thousands of lives, both within the Atlantic Union and around the world. Spearheaded by the evangelist, Dr. Abraham J. Jules, Atlantic Union Conference president, and supported by leaders from every corner of the field, the campaign was designed to serve as the inspiration and blueprint for the 659 Pentecost 2025 evangelistic campaigns planned across the Union. And it truly delivered! Hosted in-person at the Community Worship Center (CWC) and streamed online across the entire Atlantic Union Conference territory, Impact 2025 became a powerful testament to the unifying and life-changing power of the gospel.
A MULTILINGUAL, GLOBAL REACH
One of the most extraordinary achievements of the Impact 2025 series was its vast global reach. The campaign was broadcast live in 10 different languages, making it accessible to a wide and diverse audience across cultural and linguistic boundaries. With over 300,000 views online, people from all walks of life experienced the powerful messages of hope and salvation in their native languages. This incredible virtual audience was complemented by hundreds more who gathered in person at the Community Worship Center.
Moreover, local churches and ministry groups extended the campaign’s reach even further by establishing satellite groups. These groups allowed even more individuals to watch, engage, and participate in meaningful discussions. This multifaceted approach—combining in-person, virtual, and satellite outreach—created a ripple effect that spread the transformative power of the gospel far beyond the initial broadcast, fostering community engagement across the Union and around the world. The global impact was extraordinary, a testament to the power of unity and the widespread hunger for the message of Christ.
A MOVEMENT OF BAPTISMS AND COMMITMENT
At the heart of the Impact 2025 campaign was a powerful call for personal transformation through Jesus Christ, and the response was nothing short of extraordinary. Over 700 individuals across the Atlantic Union Conference were baptized, a testament to the life-changing power of the gospel. Dr. Jules faithfully preached night after night, addressing doctrinal teachings and social issues and always emphasizing the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Dr. Jules’ heartfelt and practical application of the gospel resonated deeply with countless individuals, inspiring many to make life-altering commitments to Christ. His passionate preaching not only led to immediate baptisms but also sparked a movement of spiritual renewal that continues to ripple across the Union. The impact of the campaign is still being felt as churches throughout the Union continue to report baptisms. This ongoing wave of transformation speaks to the lasting influence of the evangelistic campaign and the power of the Holy Spirit at work within the hearts of individuals.
A UNIFIED ATLANTIC UNION CONFERENCE FOR EVANGELISTIC MOMENTUM
Impact 2025 was not just an evangelistic event; it was a key component of the larger Pentecost 2025 initiative led by the North American Division. The campaign’s goal went beyond a great harvest—it sought to inspire every member, church, and conference within the Atlantic Union to engage in the mission of spreading the gospel. As a catalyst for spiritual renewal, Impact 2025 reignited a passion for evangelism and discipleship throughout the Union. Throughout the series, attendees were inspired by Dr. Jules’ dynamic nightly messages and felt strong support from across the field. The active participation and in-person presence of local pastors and administrators from every corner of the Union demonstrated their unwavering commitment to the mission. This united effort not only highlighted the strength and unity of the Atlantic Union but also generated the enthusiasm and momentum needed to launch Pentecost 2025. As a result, we look forward with great anticipation to a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit and a bountiful harvest of souls through the 659 evangelistic campaigns planned across the Union this year.
