Love First Nations Ministry (LFNM) began its missionary presence in the First Nations communities of Lillooet and Lytton in 2007, even before officially receiving government recognition as a registered charity. Initially referred to as the Korean Team and later the Fraser Valley Korean Team, LFNM was comprised entirely of members from Korean ethnic churches. However, in 2012, the ministry embraced a multicultural vision with the addition of Faith Fellowship Baptist Church, marking the beginning of a broader and more inclusive mission. Until 2017, LFNM focused its efforts on reaching First Nations communities in and around Lillooet, BC.

Since 2018, LFNM has concentrated its outreach on First Nations communities in Lytton, BC, collaborating closely with local organizations such as Lytton First Nation, Stein Valley Nlakapamux School, AG Market, Lytton Elementary Daycare, and Helping Hands.

In the aftermath of the tragic fire on June 30, 2021, which devastated the Lytton community, LFNM expanded its programs and initiatives to bring healing and hope to those affected. This effort inspired many local churches, organizations, and individuals to join LFNM's mission, often without seeking public recognition for their contributions.

Since June 2022, LFNM has maintained a biweekly outreach team serving the Lytton communities and has facilitated monthly pastors’ prayer meetings to uphold accountability and commitment to this ministry. Additionally, LFNM hosts a monthly worship service at the Siska Indian Band on the first Sunday of each month at 5 PM, along with bimonthly acupuncture therapy and haircuts. At its core, LFNM is driven by missional churches united in their love and dedication to serving the souls of the First Nations.

As of 2025, LFNM has further extended its partnerships, organizing summer kids’ camps and community service projects in collaboration with community hubs in Lytton, including Siska Indian Band, Westside, Nicomen Indian Band, Kanaka Bar Indian Band, and Kumsheen School. Currently, LFNM also offers a weekly Taekwondo class for First Nations youth in East Vancouver.
