In a collaborative effort, Philippine Adventist organizations from the Atlantic Union, the North Philippine Union Conference (NPUC), and the Central Luzon Conference (CLC) launched the Manila for Christ 2025 evangelistic campaign on January 19, 2025, with a large-scale medical-dental mission. The event provided free services to 196 local residents.

Attendees received general medical consultations, dental care, pediatric check-ups, and laboratory tests. According to organizers, 86 patients benefited from medical consultations, while 58 received dental treatment, 27 children accessed pediatric services, and 25 community members took advantage of basic lab work.

These services were made possible through partnerships with local dentists, physicians, nurses, and other volunteers from neighboring Adventist congregations. Doctors from the Atlantic Union Conference also traveled to the Philippines to support the initiative, demonstrating the global Adventist commitment to service.

This medical mission is part of a week-long evangelistic effort that began on January 17. The effort sought to meet the community's physical and spiritual needs. The culminating event on January 25 featured a grand fellowship celebration.

“We are committed to bringing hope and healing to communities, not only through the gospel message but also by addressing the pressing needs of the people,” said a representative of the Atlantic Union Conference.

Community members expressed gratitude for the compassionate care and practical support they received. As the outreach activities continue, organizers remain focused on uplifting and transforming lives across Manila, marking the start of a broader evangelistic vision for 2025.
