* Declare they are not under any politician
Davao City, Philippines – February 24-25, 2025 – A powerful spiritual movement is unfolding as Baptist churches from across the country gather for the 1st National Recon Summit at the SMX Convention Center, Lanang, Davao City.

With the theme of spiritual renewal and biblical strengthening, the summit features life-changing sessions led by renowned speakers from the USA and prominent Baptist pastors from the Philippines. The event is strictly non-political, reaffirming the autonomy of Baptist churches and distancing itself from any individual claiming to represent all Baptist congregations.

Bienvenido Abante Jr., who previously claimed in a congressional hearing on the war on drugs that he spearheads the Baptist movement.
The atmosphere is charged with faith and fellowship as thousands of attendees participate in dynamic preaching sessions, interactive Bible studies, and prayer gatherings. Many are testifying how the messages are transforming their personal lives, marriages, and families through the power of God’s Word.
A highlight of the gathering is its God-honoring music, featuring the Patch the Pirate concert by Majesty Music and the Behold the Lamb orchestra, designed to uplift and inspire attendees. Worship resounds through the venue, filling hearts with praise and renewed spiritual strength.
Baptist believers across the country are witnessing firsthand the impact oit’s a movement to impact lives, strengthen Christian values, and remind the nation that true transformation comes through God’s Word, not political agendas.
As the Recon Summit continues today and tomorrow, participants eagerly anticipate more powerful messages, heartfelt worship, and spiritual breakthroughs. Baptists have long been committed to educating people with biblical truth, and through this historic summit, the message is clear: a strong nation begins with strong Christian families.
