Spotlight May 2012 / Couples for Christ

Clare's Missionary: Established since 2010


	CFC ANCORP Walking to raise funds for scholars in Philippines, August 2011

Now in its 25^th year in Singapore, Couples For Christ (CFC) has come a long way from when it was first introduced to our island nation through the efforts of a couple, Peter & Mary Low, from the Church of Nativity, who was looking to serve together, as a family unit. Their search led them to a Ministry founded in 1981 in Manila, which had initiated a new approach to evangelizing married couples, and they soon had the same going in Singapore.

Beyond Singapore, CFC supports its counterpart in East Timor via funding and regular Mission Volunteer (MV) trips to evangelise and run programmes like Marriage Encounter Retreats and other formation programs.

Mission volunteer trips are also lined up for the rest of the year, including trips to other CFC Singapore’s mission areas such as Chiang Mai in Thailand, China, South Korea and Myanmar.
