2026 Balikatan Conference: "AND SO LORD, LEAD!"

INVITATION TO THE CONFERENCE: CAN YOU SEE IT?! The Promised Land is just beyond these raging waters. Oh, about 3 million of us have been yearning for this very moment for 40 years, roaming through the desert aimlessly and without an identity. Yet, here we are. Finally. Privileged to claim the fulfillment of what God said belongs to us. Can you feel the excitement, the energy, the intensity? BUT there is also tremendous fear. The Jordan River is at its peak and the waters are severely wide and deep. “What if we drown? Do we really have to do this now? What is waiting for us on the other side? Is the Promised Land really all that it’s cracked up to be?...I'm comfortable in my desert now; what if I don’t really want to go?” …In Joshua 3 God, through His servant-leader Joshua, gives precise instructions to the Israelites on how they’re to prepare for this monumental undertaking. And one of His foremost instructions is found on Verse 5: CONSECRATE YOURSELVES for tomorrow the LORD will do AMAZING THINGS AMONG YOU. What in the world does this mean? …JOIN US in exploring God’s Word as we relive the “Joshua experience” and in applying the exposition of His Promises in this Chapter – both for the Israelites, and for us now. God promised, God is on the move and God is ready to fulfill! …Are we going to trust Him?…Are we going to let Him Lead?
