Welcome to Because of the Times 2026: Promises. It is truly an honor to have you with us, and we do not take lightly the investment you have made to be here.
This year, our theme is taken from the powerful exhortation found in Hebrews 6:12:
“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
These words remind us that the promises of God are not merely spoken—they are inherited. They are claimed by men and women who remain faithful, steadfast, and patient, even when fulfillment seems delayed. Ministry often requires us to live between the promise and the performance, trusting God while carrying responsibility, pressure, and expectation. Yet Scripture assures us that what God has promised, He is faithful to perform.
​
This conference is an intentional pause—a sacred space designed for you to step away from the constant demands of leadership and lean once again into the faithfulness of God. Our prayer is that during these days together, your strength will be renewed, your vision sharpened, and you will be reminded once again that His promises have not expired.
Hebrews 6 assures us that God’s promises are anchored in His unchanging nature. They are confirmed by His Word and secured by His character. As you worship, listen, and receive throughout this conference, may your faith be stirred and your patience strengthened. We believe God desires to reaffirm His promises over your life and ministry and to encourage you to continue forward with confidence and hope.
Thank you for being here. We are believing that these days will be marked by clarity and fresh resolve, and that you will leave strengthened for the work ahead—fully persuaded that the promises of God are still “Yea and Amen.”
With sincere appreciation and expectation,
Bishop Anthony & Mickey Mangun
The Pentecostals of Alexandria
