On September 12, the Armenian Mission brought Adventists from across the country to the Nar-Dos Church in Yerevan, Armenia, for a special worship service. The event was designed to strengthen communities and express a single shared mission through the OneVoice27 initiative, a global movement encouraging church members to speak in one voice by posting how Jesus can make "All things new" on their personal digital platforms using the hashtag #allthingsnew.

During the service, Vardan Grigoryan, Ivan Khachaturyan, and Vigen Nanagulya were ordained as ministers. A special ordination prayer expressed gratitude and reverence for their families, who are partners in the newly ordained pastors' calling.

Mikhail Kaminsky, president of the Euro-Asia Division (EAD), and Vyacheslav Buchnev, EAD executive committee member, with Hovsep Sahakyan, president of the Armenian Mission, addressed the church and the newly ordained pastors, calling for faithfulness, spiritual watchfulness, and dedicated service.

Participants said an additional communal prayer became a visible testament to strength and cohesion among congregations.

The worship service concluded with the baptism of a young man named Ivan. Participants said his baptism was proof that the mission is alive in the hearts of youth in Armenia.
