Monday the 24th of September 2007, after what appeared to have been a long, long journey through the arid desert of Lamentations, CFC-FFL brethren finally arrived at a much needed respite at our new oasis. With joy in our hearts we gathered to inaugurate the new Home Office of Couples for Christ Foundation for Family and Life located at the perimeter of Star Mall along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City.

The jam-packed occasion began with the blessing of the premises by no less than Bishop Ted Bacani. Frank Padilla, together with his wife Gerry, led the consecration of CFC-FFL to our blessed Mother Mary.

Also present was Congress-woman Cynthia Villar. It is through the generosity of Cynthia, and her husband Senator Manny Villar, that CFC-FFL has this Home Office.

The occasion was marked with so much faith, fellowship, fun, and of course, food!

Our visiting CFC brothers, Tony Correia of India and John Vui of Vietnam, were so impressed by the atmosphere of love and warm fellowship in the Holy Spirit. Tony declared, "It was a moment of grace - kairos– God is at work amongst his children."

It was the CFC that we once knew, reborn and restored.
