a little history...
Couples for Christ (CFC) is a movement intended for the renewal and strengthening of Christian family life.
It is a community 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.

in Manila, Philippines,
- 16 couples attended the 1st CLP
aims to provide a Christian support environment for single mature women, widows, separated or divorced, single parents, wives of overseas workers, and those whose husbands are incapacitated or in prison.
