CFC Theme for 2022: CHRIST HEALS
"If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
HANDMAIDS OF THE LORD
Women in the Holy Spirit, joyfully proclaiming the greatness and glory of God as Mary did by living out her fiat: "I am the Handmaid of the Lord, may it be done to me according to your word," in selfless love and discipleship.
The Handmaids of the Lord is a creation of God distinctly called to the mission of personal transformation, evangelization to bring her family and others, especially women, to a renewed life in the Lord, and wholehearted service to bring glad tidings to the poor.
Handmaids of the Lord (HOLD) target mature women, regardless of status, or situation, from ages forty-one (41) and above. The ministry has a three-fold mission: personal transformation, evangelization to bring her family and others especially women to a renewed life in the Lord, and wholehearted service to bring glad tidings to the poor.
