Greetings Brothers and Sisters!  

Praise God for His Vision, His Grace, His Mercy and His Call for SFC Canada!!!

The first ever SFC Canada National Leaders Summit in Toronto was truly a powerful and moving event. The Lord spoke to us in volumes. He showed us the Vision. He showed us how the vision will be attained and He empowered us with His Holy Spirit to Love and Serve Him and His people!

The Lord has called us to be a Generation of Leaders and Martyrs. There is an obvious need for Christ in Canada. With the growing Liberalism and Materialism in our country, the people need to see Christ as the only way to true Joy, Love and Peace in their lives and its SFC Canada's call to Faith and Action by praying and serving through various ministries within SFC.

1. Generation of Bravehearts: To build-up the SFC Leadership by empowering others through service and support and to ultimately become SFC Chapter Heads in the near future. To evangelize others through an intimate, interactive and relevant SFC CLP and to conquer neighboring Provinces and Territories with God's Love.

2. Generation of Heroes: To mobilize SFC into ANCOP Marketing Groups and establish partnerships by advocating the miracle of Gawad Kalinga.

3. Generation of Patriots: To mobilize SFC into active participation of the Social Ministries. Particularly FEED, FLAME, TEACH (EFI) & TEODORA. Its time SFC took a stand on the social ills of today and educate the masses the Christian alternative.

4. Generation of the Holy: SFC stance on chastity, homosexuality, drugs, alcoholism, smoking, & speech.

5. Generation of the Faithful: The fundamentals of womb-to-tomb ministry and to facilitate smooth transitions from YFC-SFC-CFC/HOLD/SOLD. This can be helped by our move to establish SFC in Post-Graduate Schools (i.e. Med/law) and Corporate Evangelization.

In order for the vision to become a reality in the world, we have to look within our hearts. We are called to have a Martyr's heart. It is a Martyr's Heart that will be used by God to make the impossible become possible. Martyrdom doesn't only imply physical death; in SFC we look to it as "Living for the Freedom of Others."

Just like the original 12 apostles, God has called all the SFC leaders and members to believe in their anointing and as an act of obedience to His call, to follow that anointing to wherever and however He may lead us.

The Vision of SFC Canada is SFC C4. This is the direction in which Canada has been called to contribute to the SFC Global direction. The Mission and Vision is so huge that by human means and understanding, it's literally impossible. It will only come in obedience to God's call to Loving Him and others before you that this vision will be realized.

The true success of the SFC NLS can only be measured by its output. The key is quick follow-up with the NLS delegates and encouragement/support on their zeal to serve. As a follow-up activity, each SFC Cluster/Chapter/Unit Head should meet with the delegates to discuss the direction given at the NLS and incorporate that in their local mission. Further follow-up activities will be incorporated throughout the year.

               

FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES

1. Follow-Up Meetings
The purpose of the follow-up meetings is to visit each area and further discuss the content of the NLS and to insure that the plans for the year reflect the new SFC C4 direction.

2. Precons
The Precons were re-scheduled for April due to the hectic WOW GK concerts in May. Therefore, we suggested specific dates in April for the areas, giving them ample time to prepare for the event and time to prepare for the WOW GK concerts in their area. Having the Precons in April give time for those SFC members who just decided to attend the SFC Conference in July ample time to save and book off work. This year, the Precons will be organized and executed by the local SFC Leaders. The management of the event will empower the SFC leaders by teaching them team work, excellence, patience, prayer and will provide them with the experience of a completed Precon miracle. A Precon package will be provided to each area for the Leaders to discuss, empower delegating and to put together.

3. Mission Trips
Trips need to be made to follow-up Saskatchewan and Yukon Territories. Mission trips to open up areas are required in the Maritimes. For possible contacts in the remaining Provinces/Territories, please contact T. Jun Reyes, T. Nick Borja, T. Gerry Rafinan and/or Ryan Mina.

4. SWR 2.5 / Intimacy Weekend
New Retreats for members and leaders to be done in the Fall to support our work in ANCOP and our stand on 100% Pure.

5. SFC Canada National Conference
The SFC Conference will be held on July1-3, 2005 in Edmonton, Alberta. The venue will be at the University of Alberta Campus. It is important to emphasize area attendance to maximize the empowerment of your members and leaders.

Singles Leaders Retreats (SLR)

Ryan Mina & Lissa Untalan

SFC Canada’s call to become Socially Relevant is loud and clear. As CFC, let’s support the SFC in their move to Total Human Liberation through encouragement, support and a belief in their God-given Anointing! The Mission and Vision seems far-fetch and maybe impossible. Just like GK777, the realization of SFC C4 will be a miracle and God has called us to be obedient to His call to Love Him and His people more than ourselves so that we may be witnesses to His miracle. May God be praised!!

In CHRIST,
