Action Chapel International (ACI) has officially launched IMPACT 2025, marking the 45th edition of its annual global gathering of prayer, worship, and spiritual transformation.
The week-long event will take place from Sunday, 30th November, to Sunday, 7th December, 2025, at the Prayer Cathedral, Spintex Road, Accra, with morning services at 9:00 a.m., evening services at 5:00 p.m., and Sunday services at 8:00 a.m. This year’s theme, ‘Let There Be a Performance’, drawn from Luke 1:45, signals a prophetic call for divine fulfilment across the lives of believers in the coming year.
Speaking at the media launch, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International and the United Denominations of Action Churches Worldwide (UDAC), explained that IMPACT was birthed nearly five decades ago from his own spiritual journey.

He recounted how, as a young man newly transformed by an encounter with Christ, he felt compelled to share his testimony with other young people at a time when many were far from the church. “When I came on the scene as a young man almost 49 years ago, I didn’t see many young people in church. Many were in nightclubs, discos, and the streets, like I used to be. After my encounter with Christ, I felt a moral and spiritual responsibility to testify, to tell my story, and to challenge others. That is how IMPACT began,” he said.
The Archbishop noted that IMPACT has always been structured around creating an atmosphere of encounter rather than simply dispensing information.
He explained that the power of IMPACT lies in the life-changing experiences that attendees carry with them long after the gathering ends. “Impact is about giving people an experience; an encounter that stays with you long after the event. People may forget your words, but they never forget how you made them feel. Every year, we gather to create a divine atmosphere where lives are changed, destinies are shaped, and people discover what God has deposited in them,” he stated.
Expounding on the theme for this year, Archbishop Duncan-Williams described “Let There Be a Performance” as a bold prophetic declaration for believers to anchor their faith in God’s promises despite adversity. “Before you fear, before you panic, before you doubt God, say: ‘It shall be done. There shall be a performance of the word of God in your life. This year, we are contending for manifestation: spiritually, emotionally, economically, and socially. Let there be a performance,” he declared.
This year’s IMPACT will feature a strong lineup of speakers whose ministries continue to resonate deeply across the continent. Confirmed speakers include Apostle Joshua Selman, Rev. Eastwood Anaba, Bishop Bernard Ogyiri-Asare, Rev. Dr Robert Ampiah-Kwofi, Apostle Isi Igenegba, and Rev. Dr David Antwi.
According to Archbishop Duncan-Williams, these speakers have been carefully selected for their demonstrated ability to minister with depth, relevance, and prophetic insight. He noted that the conference is not designed to rotate speakers for novelty but rather to bring ministers whose experiences and testimonies carry divine weight and transformative power.
Preparations for IMPACT 2025 include extensive logistical and security arrangements. The event will be hosted at the expansive Impact Arena, a combined indoor-outdoor facility designed to safely accommodate large volumes of attendees. Organisers have confirmed the presence of scanners, ambulances, military and police personnel, crowd management teams, and overflow holding areas to ensure a safe and well-coordinated experience. Over the years, previous editions of IMPACT have drawn more than 30,000 attendees, and similar measures are being reinforced for 2025.
Ahead of the main event, ACI will hold a massive citywide float on Saturday, 29th November, beginning at 9:00 a.m. The float will feature low-loader trucks, brass bands, volunteers, and media partners moving through strategic routes to signal the commencement of IMPACT week and build citywide momentum.
At the launch, Bishop Ebenezer Obodai, Chair of the College of Bishops and supervising bishop at the Prayer Cathedral, highlighted the spiritual foundations that have sustained the ministry’s relevance for 45 years. He noted that the distinguishing mark of the Archbishop’s leadership is prayer. “What distinguishes this ministry is prayer, strategic, disciplined prayer. It is the cutting edge that has sustained the Archbishop and kept the ministry relevant for decades,” he said.
Bishop Obodai further commended the Archbishop’s longstanding commitment to evangelism, mentorship, and social transformation, noting initiatives such as orphanage support, community feeding programmes, drug rehabilitation work, and the establishment of the Prayer Mountain at Berekuso.
Earlier in the event, Bishop Suzanne Nti led the opening prayer, emphasising the global significance of IMPACT and its role in shaping individuals and nations. “We stand here at the threshold of IMPACT 2025, where men, women, youth, and children will come from around the globe to witness Your signs, wonders, and miracles. May this gathering inspire change across regions and nations,” she prayed.
IMPACT has maintained a strong commitment to youth development through mentorship programmes, university outreach, tailored youth sessions during the conference week, and the intentional grooming of young leaders. Many of the church’s current leaders were once youth mentored by the Archbishop himself, reflecting the ministry’s ongoing intergenerational legacy.
In closing the media launch, Bishop Obodai called on the media and the public not only to publish news about the conference but also to participate in the experience. He expressed hope that media partners would help extend the message of IMPACT across Ghana and the world, encouraging them to join the gathering and witness firsthand the transformative power it carries. Other men and women of God who were present at the media launch were Bishop Dick Essandoh, Bishop Oko Adjei, Bishop John Ahiati, Bishop Suzanne Nti, Bishop Pat Sappor and Reverend Francis Dadzie.
IMPACT 2025 will include special IMPACT sessions on Friday, 5th December, including a morning impartation service from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and an all-night service from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. For further enquiries, please contact Action Chapel International, Prayer Cathedral, Spintex Road.
