Happy Mother’s Day at CFMI

The Bible speaks highly of mothers and the role they play in the spiritual and emotional development of their families. Proverbs 31:28 says,
“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”

This verse highlights the honour and respect mothers deserve for their contributions to their families and communities. At CFMI, we use Mother’s Day to celebrate these virtues and express our gratitude for the unwavering dedication of mothers.
