Testimonial

I enjoyed every class. I got to interact with other children, food is delicious, people are very friendly. I hope more children can join FLI!

A Student

FLI programming is fantastic because it involves not only the people of our community outside of the church, but also the members from our congregations. It involves everyone. This program is a tool that churches, and church leaders can use to minister inside the church and outside of the church.

Pastor Jorge Mata

Through FLI, I’ve had someone to tell me how much God loves my kids and me. I was working and working and didn’t have time to sit down and talk with my kids. Since we started coming to the program, we can talk together every day.
