ACI announces 45th IMPACT conference, promising a week of encounter, prophecy, and revival

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.

The theme
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.

Speaker line up
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.
