Thank You To Our Charitable Donors!

Saying “thank you” never seems to be enough. We want to express our gratitude for your remarkable donations throughout the years for the children of Santa Cecilia, Colombia. We are so grateful for your individual contributions toward the vision of Forming Live Foundation, and your commitment to the cause of education and spiritual growth of these children and their community.

From Angie, FLF President,

I want to take this moment to thank Ken Cheung (pictured at left) for hearing me share God’s vision during our time together at Alliance Theological Seminary, through our class trip to Israel, through graduation and beyond. As a monthly donor during the last two years, his contributions make a positive impact on the lives of the children and families in Santa Cecilia. His support continues to be a great motivation, helping us move towards our goal of building a better future for these these kids. Let me express our warmest appreciation to Ken, for being a sustaining donor to our organization. Thank you so much for supporting our mission for these past two years!

With blessings and gratitude,

Forming Lives Foundation

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

After much prayer, God has directed the Foundacion FORMAVIDA to develop a new strategy that allows the youth and young adults from the community to have a place where they can use their free time to develop and foster the talents God has given them.
This project will consist of the construction of a multi-purpose space which includes multi-use athletic courts, a daycare center, AND a multi-use covered gym to play basketball, soccer, and volleyball with the idea of adding classrooms and Christian school in the future.
To do this we are proposing the following phases:
- 1. First Phase: AQUISITION OF THE LAND: a. Buy the land b. Study the topography c. Define plans d. Obtain a construction license
- 2. Second Phase: FIRST CONSTUCTION: a. Level the land b. Build the foundation c. Build the structure d. Level and build the parking lot e. Build walls to prevent landslides
- 3. Third Phase: SECOND CONSTRUCTION: a. Walls and columns of center b. Bleachers c. Roof d. Lighting We are looking for partnerships, churches, organizations, schools, families, and individuals who believe that this is possible.
We need people who want to support us in prayer, physically and financially! We appreciate and value your consideration
God bless you!
