iMPAct CAROLINA CONFERENCE YOUTH RALLY HOSTS OVER 100 YOUTH

From November 1-3, Mount Pisgah Academy was alive with the spirit of worship and service as over 100 youth from across the Carolina Conference joined the student body for the iMPAct Youth Rally. This dynamic weekend provided an inspiring opportunity for young

people to connect, build relationships, and grow in their faith.

Engage Ministries from Southern Adventist University led worship with uplifting and soulstirring music, creating an atmosphere of praise and anticipation. Pastor Ron

Sydney, from Southern California, delivered impactful messages centered on the theme “Only Jesus.” His words encouraged attendees to deepen their reliance on Jesus in every aspect of their lives.

In addition to spiritually enriching main sessions, students participated in service projects throughout the community. Many volunteers traveled to Swannanoa, a community still

recovering from the effects of Hurricane Helene, where they assisted with cleanup efforts, providing much needed relief. Another group visited Downtown Asheville, sharing copies of The Great Controversy, planting seeds of hope, and demonstrating God’s love through personal connections.

The weekend concluded with the annual Fall Festival, a vibrant event organized by student classes featuring food, drinks, and activities. The festival provided an opportunity for attendees to relax, enjoy fellowship, and support their peers.

Hosting the iMPAct Youth Rally was a true blessing, and the school was thrilled to see so many visitors experience the love and warmth of its campus family. Everyone is invited to

mark their calendars and join iMPAct 2025, a weekend sure to inspire, empower, and ignite the hearts of youth across the region.
