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.

In 2022, LFNM further extended its partnerships, organizing summer kids' camps and community service projects in collaboration with Siska Indian Band, Westside, Nicomen Indian Band, Kanaka Bar Indian Band, Scuppha Indian Band, and Kumsheen School.

LFNM maintains a biweekly outreach team to serve the communities in Lytton and facilitates monthly pastors’ prayer meetings to uphold accountability and commitment to this ministry. Additionally, LFNM hosts a monthly worship service at Siska Indian Band on the first Sunday of each month at 5 PM. At its core, LFNM is driven by missionary churches united in their love and dedication to serving the souls of the First Nations.
