Encouraging Growth and Building Faith
In a challenging area like the Holy Land, local communities work hard to preserve their Christian heritage. FFHL helps by supporting education and community development. Sponsoring motivated young Christians helps to create a brighter future for the Holy Land. These students will become important members of their communities. The average yearly college cost in the Holy Land is $6,000, much lower than the $34,000 in the U.S. Investing in these students ensures a better future for Christianity.
Since 1997, the Scholarship Program has made a significant investment, leading to graduates finding professional jobs. These individuals proudly represent FFHL’s impact, fostering a sense of community and gratitude. Sponsors who support these aspiring leaders empower a generation that has the potential to make a positive impact on the Holy Land’s future.
