Women’s ministry

Praying Friends
In November 2020, when one of our elders faced a sudden serious illness, many brothers and sisters started interceding once a day for his healing. God answered their prayers. As this opened a new door of service, this practice now continues as “Praying Friends”, a daily time of intercession for the health and wellness of TCF brothers and sisters who need such prayer support.

Five Loaves and Two Fishes
In the early days of COVID-19 pandemic, when India announced a sudden lockdown – millions of migrant workers were stranded in their work cities – without work, money, food and without the transport to get back to their home villages. Some of our brothers in India talked to us about starving migrant workers from North India stranded in South where they came to work in construction projects. TCF decided then to follow the example of the little boy who gave his five loaves of bread and two fishes to the disciples of Jesus Christ – who took it and distributed to five thousand hungry people. We started sending help to feed the needy poor workers, generally with one week’s worth of basic grocery needs. We started this April 2020 in South India (Nagercoil, Chennai, Bangalore, Tirunelveli) - over the next several months we expanded to North India – as well as other countries including Lebanon, South Africa, Uganda and Philippines for similar basic food needs. We have also not forgotten to support a few brothers and sisters in TCF who lost jobs during the pandemic and needed basic support. TCF has so far served the food needs for over three thousand families around the world. We firmly believe that the Lord takes our small help – and multiplies to meet their long term needs. We continue to help people in need of basic food supplies because of COVID-19 challenges. While our simple church is doing this generous ministry of giving – the Lord continues to bless our members with miraculous provisions of jobs and promotions to meet their needs.
