The Eden Fellowship (T.E.F.) is a Christ-centered global fellowship for singles aged 25 and above, as well as married couples. It is a place where singles are encouraged to court with purpose, pursue God first, and prepare wisely for marriage, while married couples serve as pillars of wisdom, encouragement, and examples of Kingdom marriages.
Established on 31 March 2022, the Lord has faithfully sustained this weekly fellowship. T.E.F. is a vision birthed through The God Girl Initiative by Super God Girl Karen Chichetu, based in South Africa, called by God to raise Kingdom marriages for the glory of God.
This initiative aligns with the broader vision of Pastor Bella International Ministries, and I am honored and excited, by the grace of God, to oversee this branch of the ministry.
Purpose of T.E.F.:
- To bring together single, godly men and women.
- To create an engaging and interactive platform where believers can fellowship with the intention of purposeful marriage.
- To encourage intentional courtship that leads to marriage.
- To provide a safe and nurturing environment for believers seeking their God-ordained partners.
- To cultivate commitment and the fear of the Lord within relationships.
- To raise godly couples who will actively build the Kingdom of God.
- To raise couples with a divine mandate to fulfill God’s purpose before the imminent return of Christ.
- To promote accountability among members.
Our Core Message:
At T.E.F., we court to marry and marry for purpose.
Scriptural Foundation:
“Male and female came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah. Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.”
— Genesis 7:9, 15 (NIV)
God’s Mandate for T.E.F.:
- It is the Lord who will call individuals into this fellowship.
- It is the Lord who will establish divine pairings, just as in the days of Noah.
- It is the Lord who will sustain and establish these relationships.
Guidelines
- T.E.F is for individuals 25 years and above.
- We will teach you how to hear from God. Accountability partnerships are essential: when God reveals your spouse to you, you are to contact leadership so that we can guide you appropriately into your Kingdom marriage.
- Do not approach anyone for marriage without first discussing it with leadership.
- Do not approach anyone for a relationship either, as this is not a casual dating service. The end goal is marriage, and we are committed to aligning with God’s will – not our own.
- God is a God of integrity, and we expect the same within T.E.F. Be truthful and faithful as God reveals His will.
- Your desire for marriage should never exceed your desire for God. We strongly discourage marital idolatry. We are called to seek God first (Matthew 6:33) and to have no other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3).
Disclaimer
We are not matchmakers – God is the matchmaker. It is not our responsibility to pair individuals together. Instead, we cultivate a conducive environment for healthy, God-centered courtships grounded in the Word of God.
- You are still responsible for being prayerful and applying godly principles before entering into a courtship.
- This is not a quick fix for obtaining a relationship. Marriage is the goal.
- T.E.F exists to keep you focused on God, using your season of singleness to serve Him joyfully as you wait for Him to lead you into your Kingdom marriage.
T.E.F. meets weekly via Zoom from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM (SAST).
