The Central Papua Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church today officially launched OneVoice27, a General Conference mission initiative aimed at preparing church members spiritually and equipping them to reach communities ahead of a major global evangelism campaign in 2027.
This initiative by the church’s headquarter leadership in the United States of America was intended to mark the 2,000-year anniversary of Jesus Christ’s baptism in AD27 and His Earthly Ministries while mobilizing church members for global mission.
The launch at Bautama Campground brought together pastors, missionaries, church leaders, ministry teams and members under the theme “Mission for All.”

More than just a program schedule, OneVoice27 was presented as a movement calling members to move from personal spiritual renewal into active community engagement and evangelism.
The event was built around three themes-One Message, One Mission and One Voice-each focusing on a different stage of preparation and outreach.
The opening session, One Message – Prepare, centered on worship, prayer and personal transformation, with speakers encouraging participants to strengthen their relationship with God before engaging in mission work.
Presenters challenged members to recognize that effective outreach begins with individual spiritual commitment and renewal.
The second session, One Mission – Engage, focused on how the church can connect with people in changing times. Discussions highlighted both traditional evangelism and the growing role of digital platforms and social media in sharing messages of faith.
Church leaders emphasized that mission work today extends beyond church buildings and public gatherings, encouraging members to use everyday relationships and digital spaces as opportunities to reach others.
The final segment, One Voice – Harvest, looked ahead to September 2027, which organizers described as a significant global moment of proclamation and outreach.
The session focused on turning interest into meaningful community connections and preparing members to participate in coordinated evangelism activities.
The launch concluded with promotional presentations, an appeal to pastors, elders and church leaders to support the initiative, the unveiling of campaign materials and a dedication prayer.
Organizers said OneVoice27 is intended to unite church members around a common purpose and inspire greater participation in mission work across communities.
The event drew inspiration from Isaiah 6:8: “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” … “Here am I. Send me.”
