Mike and Jill founded BCFI with hope of being a part of the solution to the many challenges and hardships they have witness in the schools and communities they have served for over 20 years. After many years of observation and prayer, the Lord led them to focus on building up and supporting children and families. As of 2022, Mike and Jill have a family of seven, with two adult children, two elementary aged children, and a baby. As they seek to build and grow their own healthy and whole family, they desire to bring others along the same path and journey.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help build and develop healthy and whole children and families by providing Biblically-based books, educational materials, community partnership supports, and other life-changing resources to empower, inspire growth, and restore individuals and families so that they can live the abundantly blessed life that God wants us to live.
Our Vision
Our vision is to bring the light of Jesus into the darkness of this world by sharing Biblical principles and resources that can apply to daily living through self-reflection and self-regulation practices.
