Kohima, November 16 (MExN): Couples for Christ (CFC) conducted Christian Life Program on November 12 and 13 at Christ King Church Parish Hall, Kohima Village.
CFC is a movement intended for the renewal and strengthening of Christian family life, informed a press release from Brother Mengukhrietuo Marcus, CFC Chapter Head Nagaland and CFC Nagaland State Coordinator. “It is an association of Christian couples who have committed themselves to the Lord and to one another, so that they may grow into maturity as men and women of God and fulfill their primary vocation of raising up their families under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and for the service of the Kingdom of God.”
CFC, the release said, intends to carry out its work by focusing on the following three specific objectives:
Individual renewal – Before one can even consider the whole family, the husband and wife first need to renew their commitment to God. To bring individuals to a stronger rela¬tionship with God by discovering and living more fully the power and gifts they received through the Holy Spirit.
Family renewal – As couples renew their commitment to God, they also renew their commitment to one another and to their Christian Family life. Gradually the new life that they find in the Lord filters down to all their family relationships. To build up a community of committed Christian families.
Church renewal – As individual families are renewed, they form a network of equally committed Christian families which not only support one another but also strengthen the Church of which they are members.
CFC’s family ministries care for other family members through:
