Families in the Holy Spirit Renewing the Face of the Earth CFC SOCIAL MINISTRIES
FLAME Ministries Inc. is the social communications arm of Couples for Christ (CFC) and its Family Ministries, with regard to its vision of creating an organization as an instrument of social renewal. This ministry was founded to serve the community's Marketing, Media and Production ventures, putting to full use the massive resources and market potential of our 1 million strong membership. Our focus is on the broad proclamation of values through effective, responsible and strategic use of various media, exploring new and revolutionary methods and perspectives in bringing a message of hope and renewal to society at large. Our long term goal is to produce, market, promote and execute activities and projects that have mass appeal and commercial viability.
The CFC Educational Foundation Inc. (CFC EFI) is the implementing arm of CFC in the area of children's education. The objectives of CFC-EFI are:

The strategy of The Sword of Gideon is to penetrate all military camps, police stations and private security agencies and bring our regualr programs of renewal. TSOG intends to reach not only the armed services personnel, but also the members of their respective families, including those who have retired from active military and police service.
CFC's work for total human liberation involves addressing poverty in all its aspects --material, emotional, physiological, societal and spiritual. These include the stranger, migrant, street child and prisoner. The CFC Prison Ministry called Isaiah 61:1, focuses on the last group of poor people. Programs:
Family Enrichment & Education Ministry (FEED) , as a welfare
ministry of CFC, seeks to develop and sustain love and respect for
life, to uphold the dignity of a human person and to maintain the
true vision of family in this changing world. The
courses and activities therein may be distinguished from our regular
formation courses in that they are not required for particular segments
of the general membership, but rather are specialtized offerings to
meet specific needs.
Programs:
Today, there are unprecedented challenges to time-honored values regarding motherhood, family, and respect for life. increasing attacks on the dignity of women by worldwide forces have not only redefined, but have distorted the meaning of what it is to be a woman. The issues that have become too real to ignore are radical feminism, reproductive health rights, pornography, and violence against women. The challenge for women today is to continually redefine her role in the changing world, while keeping a changeless core within her. It is in the light of this that TEODORA, In Defense of the Authentic Woman was established. TEODORA is open to all members of society, even non-CFC members, who share its vision.
St. Thomas More & Associates (STMA) is a ministry intended to extend our ministry of renewal in Christ to the socio-political arena, i.e., to the different areas of society, especially for the poor and oppressed, with emphasis on the conduct of government. Areas of Action:
