History

The birth of the Family Life Communion International (FLCI) is a response to Satan’s global assault on the family. The vision for the Family Life Communion International (FLCI) was first ignited in the spirit of Metropolitan Archbishop Dr. Sterling Lands II, who discerned a worldwide pattern, the systematic breakdown of the family as both a spiritual and cultural institution. This breakdown was not accidental, it was and remains a deliberate, demonic assault on the very structure God established from the beginning of creation. The Scriptural witness affirms that the family is God’s foundational unit for covenant, community, and Kingdom advancement. The first divine mandate was not given to an individual, but to a family unit (Genesis 1:27–28). The family was, and remains, the vehicle through which God populates the earth, imparts identity, and governs His creation. God speaks of Abraham not only as an individual of faith, but as a father of a multigenerational family line who would teach God’s ways (Genesis 18:19). This reflects the Africentric value of legacy, in which families carry spiritual, cultural, and communal responsibility. The enemy targets that which brings life, order, and multiplication. The family is central to that design (John 10:10). A final prophetic act before the coming of the Messiah is family reconciliation. This is not simply relational but spiritual restoration (Malachi 4:5–6). FLCI aligns with this prophetic mandate by turning the Church’s focus back toward covenantal family healing.
