2026 CFL FAITH RALLY: Like Eagles, We Will SOAR!


​A faith rally is CFL’s annual gathering for leaders to be fired up about the mission of CFL guided by the year’s theme.

Last March 21, 2026, 288 leaders from household heads and up, gathered at the Bulwagang Tandang Sora, CSWCD Complex, UP Diliman for the CFL Faith Rally 2026. Drawing from the 2026 CFL theme, “They that hope in the Lord… will soar on eagles’ wings” (Isaiah 40:31), the rally inspired leaders to live out CFL’s 2026 mission with greater clarity and vigor. Their rallying cry? Like Eagles, We Will SOAR!

Following the February 28 BREAKING THE WALLS OF JERCHO Evangelization Workshop, where top leaders discerned CFL’s 2026 mission and set direction, the rally brought that mandate to the wider leadership.

In his Welcome Address, Lead Servant Bro. Alfee Pontejos reminded everyone that CFL cannot soar unless every leader sees the direction clearly.

The program unfolded in two movements:

Talk 1: “The Eagle Within” by Bro. Roland Nillas called leaders to interior renewal, sharpening how they see, deepening their reliance on God, and strengthening their grip on mission.

Talk 2: “Soaring Together for the CFL Mission” by Bro. Mon Samaniego clearly articulated CFL’s direction for 2026: (1) multiply leaders, (2) open doors in dioceses, and (3) reach young couples.

Guided by the ever-capable emcee, Sis. Marie Villar, the rally moved from reflection to commitment. Leaders stood, owned the mission, and lifted their colored feathers as a visible sign of unity and the resolve to carry the direction forward.

The gathering culminated in a resounding declaration: “CFL, SOAR!”

More than a rally, it was a moment of alignment. Strength was renewed, direction was made clear, and leaders embraced the call to soar as one. Like eagles, we will soar!
