IS FCF A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION SINCE IT SUPPLIES MISSIONARIES? || The FCF works in partnerships to help around the world. They supply missionaries, or volunteers with the tools needed to help families in the developing countries. These volunteers have many different reasons for going to places like Africa. They also provide training for those who haven’t a clue how to teach kids in a different country. Basically, the FCF provides the money and different organizations that want to help take advantage of that. ||
