Renewing the Family and Defending Life
Couples for Christ Foundation for Family and Life is a private association of lay faithful committed to the work of evangelization and family life renewal. It is a missionary body, and the families that make up this association are to be families that will be instruments of the Holy Spirit in renewing the face of the earth.
It is called to rise in defense of the family which is God’s work and to bring families back to the plan of God. To bring the Lord’s strength and light to those who are struggling to be truly Christian families in the modern world.
We work for Christian family renewal at various levels – the individual, the family, the larger community.
Individual Renewal. We take the basic message of Christianity and proclaim it anew so that those who hear it can make a renewed commitment to God in a way that will allow them to receive a fuller experience of the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
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.
Societal Renewal. As individuals, they form a network of committed Christian families that not only support one another but also positively animate the society of which they are a part.
CFC-FFL IS PRO-LIFE
