Learn about Living Stones

Living Stones Foundation Charitable Trust (LSFCT) exists to serve Jesus Christ by providing financial and strategic resources to projects that lead to self-sustaining kingdom-building ministries, where support will leverage the success of the whole body of Christ. Areas of special interest are Faith & Work (Kingdom Business), Family Values, and regional, national, and global Transformation initiatives.

The Eldred family's first charitable foundation was established in 1986 as Praise the Lord Foundation. In 1999, the family decided to look more proactively into ministry opportunities that share the same vision and therefore created the Living Stones Foundation Charitable Trust (LSFCT), a public support organization based on the same principles.

The Living Stones Foundation Charitable Trust (LSFCT) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt foundation. It has a public board and an office open to the public.

As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:4-5
