Lunch and dinner will not be served for non-SFC conference delegates on Saturday. However, there are many restaurants in the vicinity where CFC IMS delegates can eat at a more affordable rate.

Please note the registration for the CFC IMS is almost at cost to the organizers. We ask the delegates to shoulder their own registration or ask their local areas or countries to sponsor them for this event. Registration payments must be made payable to Couples For Christ in US dollars.

This event is a by invitation only affair and if you cannot make it to the said event, please send a representative that will uphold the missions interest of your region or country of assignment.

Setting the World on Fire

Inspired by Luke 4:43 ("I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent."), the summit aims to stir up a greater interest in international mission among members of CFC and the Family Ministries, establish rapport between countries engaged in mission, and identify key countries that can function as “mission centers”.  The summit will conclude by consecrating the CFC International Missions to Mary, Star of Evangelization.
