We have a special treat for you this fall as we unite to have the first ever West Coast Singles Conference entitled \u201cParadox.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Luke 5:26 the Bible reads that the observers of Jesus miracles witnessed \u201cremarkable things today.\u201d In Greek, that word &#8220;remarkable&#8221; can also mean astonishing, awe and paradox. Paradox is a key word because the gospel &nbsp;of Luke is a crossroads of God&#8217;s bountiful love and how dark this world can be. It is an intersection of heaven and earth. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/paradox-singles-conference-1024x798.jpeg?resize=768%2C599&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13442\" width=\"768\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/paradox-singles-conference.jpeg?resize=1024%2C798&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/paradox-singles-conference.jpeg?resize=300%2C234&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/paradox-singles-conference.jpeg?resize=768%2C599&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/paradox-singles-conference.jpeg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chose this passage because this conference will be like no other in which we get a chance to serve the poor. We are pleased to announced that we are partnering up with HOPE <em>worldwide<\/em> to have a Day of Service in the middle of the conference. The singles have asked to do something dynamic to glorify Christ in our communities and that\u2019s exactly what we want to achieve. This event will happen on October 12-15 in sunny San Diego, California! Last year we had 600 singles at the Oasis Retreat but this year we are expecting 1,000 singles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please register at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.paradox2023.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.paradox2023.com<\/a>&nbsp;for more information!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us for the first-ever US West Coast singles conference in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":13442,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13],"tags":[73,54],"post_folder":[151],"class_list":["post-13441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-singles","tag-events","tag-north-america"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/paradox-singles-conference.jpeg?fit=1080%2C842&ssl=1","author_info":{"display_name":"dtadmin","author_link":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/author\/dtadmin\/"},"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phsvEw-3uN","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":22445,"url":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/over-800-attended-west-coast-singles-conference-paradox\/","url_meta":{"origin":13441,"position":0},"title":"Over 800 Attended US West Coast Singles Conference Paradox","author":"Ashaki Sorrell","date":"December 30, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"The US West Coast Singles Conference in San Diego made history with 800+ attendees, singles leading all main sessions, and raising $8,000 in a 5K fundraiser.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Singles&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Singles","link":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/category\/singles\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ParadoxSingles-1.jpeg?fit=1080%2C720&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ParadoxSingles-1.jpeg?fit=1080%2C720&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ParadoxSingles-1.jpeg?fit=1080%2C720&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ParadoxSingles-1.jpeg?fit=1080%2C720&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/ParadoxSingles-1.jpeg?fit=1080%2C720&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":25723,"url":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/2024-icoc-singles-service-team-report\/","url_meta":{"origin":13441,"position":1},"title":"ICOC Singles Service Team Report 2024","author":"Vida Li Sik","date":"February 27, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"We're excited to share how God moved through the singles ministry in 2024, especially at the North American Singles Conference.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NACON24.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NACON24.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NACON24.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NACON24.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":22436,"url":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/the-2024-singles-conference-announced\/","url_meta":{"origin":13441,"position":2},"title":"2024 North American Singles Conference Announced","author":"Vida Li Sik","date":"December 28, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Save the date!
