It is with great joy, anticipation, and faith that I welcome you to Purpose Ignited: A Journey of Faith, Destiny & Transformation 2025! This is more than just a conference it is a God-ordained movement designed to transform lives, shift atmospheres, and set souls ablaze for His glory.

This vision was birthed through my own season of pain, brokenness, and seeking. In some of my darkest moments, when I didn’t know what was next, God met me there. He whispered purpose into my pain and ignited a fire within me that I could no longer ignore. Purpose Ignited was not just an idea it was God’s answer to my prayer for direction, healing, and destiny.

Born and raised in Columbus, MS, and woven from a legacy of ministry, music, faith, and leadership, I carried destiny in my DNA. Yet, like many, I ran for a long time serving but resisting until the weight of God’s call became undeniable. When I finally surrendered and said “YES” to God, everything shifted. Doors opened, lives were impacted, and my mission became crystal clear: to ignite purpose, break barriers, and set hearts on fire for God.

Now, as the visionary behind Purpose Ignited, my passion is to transform lives, empower leaders, and push others into their divine destiny. Through ministry and music, I believe God will break chains, shift atmospheres, and usher His people into life-changing encounters with Him.

Over these next three days, expect a supernatural move of God like never before. You will hear powerful messages from Bishop Marc House and Evangelist Jekalyn Carr, and experience anointed gospel ministry from Lisa Knowles Smith & The Brown Singers, Darrel Petties & Take 2, and more.

But most of all, I pray you leave this conference IGNITED empowered, refreshed, and ready to walk boldly into your divine purpose. God has a plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11), and this movement is your moment to fully embrace it!

Thank you for answering the call.
Get ready for miracles, transformation, and a fresh fire to ignite within you!

With Expectation & Faith,
Pastor Joshua J. Congress
Visionary, Purpose Ignited 2025
