On October 2, 2025, friends and partners of MEDIA Alliance gathered at First Baptist Dallas for the annual Global Impact Dinner—an evening dedicated to celebrating how God is using media to take the Gospel to the unreached.

Since its debut, the Global Impact Dinner has been one of the most significant times in the MEDIA Alliance ministry calendar. It’s a time to reflect on the work God is doing through our partners and to marvel at how MEDIA Alliance continues to equip leaders and expand the reach of Christian media worldwide.

This year’s dinner honored remarkable leaders including:

  • Tom Leppert, Former Mayor of Dallas and Former CEO of Turner Construction
  • Cristina Olariu, Manager of Radio Voice of the Gospel – Timișoara, Romania

Stories shared throughout the evening highlighted how God is transforming lives through the creative use of media—from radio broadcasts in hard-to-reach regions to digital platforms that connect people with the message of hope in Christ.

Before the evening concluded, guests were presented with an exciting opportunity—a $59,000 matching gift challenge announced during the event. Every dollar given toward the mission of MEDIA Alliance will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the impact to equip and encourage ministry leaders around the world.

Your gift today can help continue this momentum—training and connecting media leaders so that the Gospel can reach farther than ever before.
