The Birth of FFTSALI
The Birth of FFTSALI
The Foundation for the Socially and Legally Impaired (FFTSALI) in Orangevale, California was derived from an inspiration of the Holy Spirit in the summer of 2002, in front of the Mail House, Fair Oaks.
Our oldest son, Joseph, had driven me that day to pay utility bills because I wasn't really feeling well and expecting our youngest daughter, Deborah. As we sat in his Volvo, I was pondering on my life experiences and began to laugh out loud, "fftsali.” And instantaneously, I was given the words and the acronym.
I knew then that I had a mission to continue according to Phil 1: 6, to press onward, as we Christian soldiers must. Nearly two decades have passed since that day and many souls have been sent to our door at Elm Avenue, none whom we've turned away.
Our end-time harvest call mission is to become known as a directive resource to aid whomsoever desires to effect positive change in their life.
