SOS: Save our SOUL.

In a world where everyone commit sin and have forgotten CHRIST. What we all need is to repent and return back with him. ASK FOR FORGIVENESS so that YOUR SOUL will be SAVE.


I don't fear death because I believe it is a transition. Our souls can't be destroyed. I know we are going to live in another life. Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. Our life is more deeper than we think. The mistake made by all previous systems of ethics has been the failure to recognize that life as such is the mysterious value with which they have to deal. All spiritual life meets us within natural life. Reverence for life, therefore, is applied to natural life and spiritual life alike. In the parable of Jesus, the shepherd saves not merely the soul of the lost sheep but the whole animal. The stronger the reverence for natural life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual life.

WHO AM I? A Challenge I Need To Face.

What I am doing here in this world? Why I am Here? WHO AM I? A lot of questions that keeps on bugging me. Never in my life I would imagine my self to be more relieved and secured. Before that, I always ask questions and seems I always ended up unhappy. I am a party person and a lot of acquaintances but doesn't make me special nor happy.

Now, Being part of this community I was been able to see my self, know my self better. I know exactly the very purpose of my existence, it is because of GOD. I am here because of GOD and soon I will be gone from this wonderful world because I will be seeing GOD. Life is so beautiful and important with us if the Lord is there in our deepest heart. We know that not all the time we remember specially if we are in our happy moments. He is so loving, because even the time we fall down and no one to talk to or even our family or close friends are gone with us, still the Lord and Savior was always there to comfort us. The pain that we encounter in our life, is just a manifestations of his love and will reminds his existence, his love are lasting forever.

In my life I admit that sometimes I tried to give up for I feel so alone but with his help I never give up for I believe he listens and comforts me. I pray all the time and I know that God can hear what we pray for. As time goes on I'm very thankful for all the blessings I received. I totally trust him and have faith with him, he give me life and the chance to live in this beautiful world.





Song lyrics | Who Am I lyrics

We will travel ONE WAY with JESUS.

Joining SINGLES FOR CHRIST develops me a good outlook in life. I was never been afraid with life, I wasn't been doubting GODS LOVE for me. We will never be lost brothers and sisters. We are one way with GOD!!!


- Hillsong United Lyrics


LISTEN: Be Inspired with GOD's LOVE.

SEEK and You Will FIND GOD.

“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Luke 18:25)”. Seeking refuge and light is quite hard for some people. In my case I've been into different situation you would ever imagine. I am living in total darkness, confused and bothered.

Finding answers for all the questions in my mind and in my heart gives me a hard time figuring my own life. Struggling to survive and leading life to what it should be or should I say in the right path is very untamed to me. Seems that there is was a force that hinders me to achieve it. I am weak, very weak. It is true, finding your self and living life with JESUS CHRIST is HARD. The QUESTION is how far will you commit your self? How far will you give in?


Turning my past life and starting over with GOD is not easy but gives me happiness and satisfaction. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Everything will depend to you. YOU WILL DECIDE for you have the OPTION. If you think your weak then change that attitude.

I am happy to be part of this community, living with JESUS CHRIST, moving forward with HIM gives me SECURITY. You have the will power to govern your life that will lead us to him. If they can do it so do I.

SFC Components

A. Christian Life Program (CLP)

A single person can only be acknowledged as a full-fledged SFC member after he / she has gone through the 13-week Christian Life Program (CLP). Mixed CLPs (meaning CLPs with CFC, HOLD, SOLD and SFC participants) and Fast Track CLPs (meaning CLPs with compressed talks or over a weekend) are only used for starting areas. Once an area has SFC already, the 13 week CLP format should be used.

B. Pastoral Formation Track

SFC members must go through a series of pastoral formation for nourishment and sustenance. This is very crucial to their growth as individuals and empowerment as servants in the ministry.

C. Households / 1 to 1s

Household meetings are the best venue for an SFC member to receive basic pastoral nourishment and guidance especially after going through the CLP. There should be at least 2 household meetings per month.

In addition, household heads also have the important responsibility to conduct 1 to 1s with their members regularly. 1 to 1s are very important in discussing intimate matters with the members, especially issues which members are not yet open to discuss within a group.

Note: Household meeting discussions should be separate (men with men; women with women) for most times, but there could be joint meetings on occasion.

D. Prayer Assemblies

There should be monthly prayer assemblies and monthly teaching assemblies for General Membership. It should be Chapter based. Any prayer assemblies above the Chapter level are not encouraged. There may be assemblies in other levels (Cluster, Sector) but they should be few and far between.

E. Leadership Trainings / Chapter Teachings and General Assemblies

SFC can come up with these specialized assemblies that cater to specific topics and issues. Normally, these are conducted as follow-up to the basic formation track. Please refer to the Pastoral Formation Track later on in the Manual.

F. Programs

As a way to enhance the ministry, SFC came up with programs for specific functions, such as:
Corporate Evangelization
Campus Evangelization
Community Evangelization
Government Evangelization
Gawad Kalinga
Social Ministries

In addition, SFC also has support functions focusing on certain skills and tasks such as:
Pastoral Formation
Transition
Communications
Vocation

There is a special focus given to 3 aspects of the work of evangelization (3 Pronged Approach):

1. Christian Life Program – the normal 13 week program to enter SFC
2. Bayani Brigade / GK1MB (GK Isang Milyong Bayani) – the volunteer program for GK, can be used as a stepping stone to the CLP
3. Staff Development / Values Formation – offered to corporations and other institutions. Conducting values formation courses in line with their corporate / institution values. Also can be used as a stepping stone to the CLP.

G. Special Events

Special Events are also great avenues for a single person to expand his / her perspective of the greater work of SFC.

International Events (organized by the SFC International Council)
SFC International Leaders Conference (annually – every February)
SFC Great Adventure Tour (annually)
SFC Global One (every other year)
SFC Global Leaders Forum (every other year)

There may be Regional, National and Area Conferences as well.

SFC Leadership

Involvement of CFC

With SFC being under the overall umbrella of CFC, the presence of CFC connotes that SFC is part of a bigger family. It puts the ministry in a proper perspective in terms of transition.

Parallel Structure to CFC

The structure of SFC is parallel to CFC, meaning, there aren’t as much interconnections with the CFC structure as compared to YFC and KFC. SFC is connected to CFC by having CFC be the Sector and Cluster Heads of SFC. The Sector Head is connected to the Family Ministries Head, who is, in turn, in the Council or Governance Team.

Empowerment of SFC

The Unit Head and Household Head positions should automatically be filled in by an SFC. As such, this will allow the SFC to be trained, empowered and be given the opportunity to pastor other SFCs.

SFCs are also to be transitioned to Chapter Head levels. Two considerations:

First, for areas that are at the Cluster level (and above) but do not have SFC in any level aside from being Household Heads, SFC members can take the next higher level – meaning the Unit Head level. There should be a plan in place, however, for SFC to take on being Chapter Heads.

Second, for areas that are below the Cluster level, CFC should be at the topmost level, while SFC in the levels below (at Chapter size, SFC should be Household and Unit Heads; at Unit size, SFC should be Household heads; etc.)
