Subject: SFC International Conference 2013 – First Memo

Dear brothers and sisters,

Last February 2012, 6500 SFC members all over the world "proclaimed the greatness of

the Lord" (Luke 1:46) in Bohol, Philippines. Truly it was an experience of how great our

God is!

As we enter another milestone and celebrate two decades of SFC, we invite you to

experience God's greatness once again at our 20th SFC International Conference at

the World Trade Center, Manila, Philippines on February 15-17, 2013.

Next year’s conference is entitled “WITNESS”, as inspired by our community’s theme for

next year which is “Obey and Witness!” (“Do whatever He tells you.” John 2:5)

To mark this momentous occasion, we will have week-long activities starting February

11, 2013. In line with this, we present to you the first memo which includes essential

information that can help you prepare for this big event. Registration fee is Php 1300

(inclusive of kit and meals). Deadline of registration is January 15, 2013.

See you in Manila!

In Christ, Noted by:
