Be a part of a powerful, global movement.

The Pennsylvania Conference is excited to join OneVoice27, a worldwide initiative of the Seventh-day Adventist Church that invites members around the globe to know Jesus more deeply and share His love with others. OneVoice27 plans to unite members in spiritual preparation and outreach ahead of a worldwide digital harvest in September 2027. Reading The Desire of Ages unites our Conference with millions of believers worldwide as we anchor our hearts in Christ and prepare to share His hope.

Beginning November 1, churches across the Pennsylvania Conference will journey together through The Desire of Ages. As we read the life of Christ together, we’ll discover His love more deeply, hear His voice more clearly, and allow Him to shape our hearts. Whether you read a few pages each morning, listen during your commute, or journal in the evening, you’re invited to join thousands of others on this shared journey.

Fall more deeply in love with Jesus.

What if you could spend the next seven months walking alongside Jesus? The Desire of Ages is one of the most beloved Christian books ever written because it does just that. The story of Christ from His birth to His resurrection paints a beautiful picture of His love, compassion, wisdom, and sacrifice. More than simply retelling the Gospel accounts, it invites you to know Jesus personally, see His heart more clearly, and experience His grace in a deeper way. Whether you’re opening it for the first time or returning to its pages once again, this journey has the power to strengthen your faith and draw you closer to the Savior.

More than a biography of Jesus, The Desire of Ages invites us to know Him personally. As you read, you’ll discover His compassion, grace, wisdom, and love in fresh ways. Whether you’ve read it many times or are opening it for the first time, this journey can deepen your walk with Christ.

How Churches Can Participate in OneVoice27

The OneVoice27 initiative officially launches Sept. 5, 2026, beginning a year-long mobilization effort leading to September 2027. The worldwide emphasis culminates that month, marking approximately 2,000 years since Christ’s baptism and the beginning of His public ministry. The global initiative seeks to unite the Seventh-day Adventist Church in a prayerful, coordinated, and contextualized effort to share the story of Jesus and the gospel message through personal witness, local outreach, and media ministries.

The North American Division (NAD) of Seventh-day Adventists is joining the Church’s worldwide movement to share the hope of Jesus Christ through “All Things New,” a coordinated mission initiative centered on Jesus and expressed through four practical areas of focus. It is designed to help individuals grow spiritually, help congregations serve their communities, strengthen digital and personal witness, and build clear pathways toward baptism and discipleship.

Each phase overlaps intentionally so that prayer fuels service, service opens opportunities to share, and sharing leads people into a growing life with Jesus.

We are excited to be a part of this incredible opportunity to grow in our relationship with Christ and share Him with others. Throughout the coming year, you’ll learn more and have opportunities to attend training events designed to equip each individual to share the gospel, study the Bible with others, and impact their community. Churches will be equipped with resources to share the gospel digitally, connect with interests, and present an evangelistic series in September 2027, uniting in one accord with Adventist churches around the world.

“Keeping a journal has become my favorite part of the day. Taking a few minutes to write down what stood out has helped God’s Word stay with me long after I finish reading. I’m discovering that spending time with Jesus each day really does change the way I face the rest of my day.”

— Lisa R., Reading

“One of the biggest surprises has been seeing how often Jesus noticed the people everyone else overlooked. Reading a little each day has challenged me to become more patient, more compassionate, and more intentional in the way I treat others. This journey is changing more than what I know—it’s changing how I live.”

— Michael S., Erie

“I’ve read The Desire of Ages before, but this time I slowed down. I found myself noticing the compassion of Jesus in ways I never had before. Instead of rushing through familiar stories, I began asking what they revealed about His heart. It’s drawn me into a closer relationship with Him.”

— Karen B., Harrisburg

Thousands of Pennsylvania Conference members will be reading together each day. Wherever you are, you are part of one church, one journey, and one purpose—to know Jesus more deeply.
