A Celebration of True Transformation: Join Us On This Mission Inside and Outside the Prison System
At Freedom Lake Ministries, we are dedicated to helping men overcome substance abuse and break the cycle of recidivism. By introducing them to Jesus and guiding them to discover their identity in Christ, we empower them to experience His transformative power. Together, we can help them break free from the chains that bind them so they can live lives of freedom and newfound purpose.
Join us in this mission—donate now through October 31, 2024, and be part of their journey toward healing and redemption.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Freedom Lake Ministries, a Christ-centered Section 501(c)(3) public charity, is dedicated to assisting men in breaking free from entrenched patterns of addiction and the revolving door of the prison system by nurturing a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. Through our discipleship programs, men discover a spiritual pathway to recovery and uncover their greater purpose: to become Jesus’ disciples who train and disciple others. We delve into the root causes of substance abuse, recognizing it as a symptom of deeper heart issues, not the core problem. Participants confront these issues by engaging in discipleship studies that deepen their understanding of God’s Word and guide them towards finding healing in Christ.
Through Christ-centered discipleship, participants transition from recovery to true freedom beyond recovery. This transformative journey empowers them to confront worldly temptations, experience profound transformation, and discover a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment. Recognizing that abusing drugs and alcohol signifies deeper heart issues, our approach guides individuals to surrender to Christ for lasting change.
Freedom Lake Ministries has a three-phase discipleship pathways process:
We believe that Christ can change the desires of our hearts and serenity can be found in a life of service to the furthering of His Kingdom. Tony and Kim Cash – the Founders of Freedom Lake – knew there needed to be a place where men can come to deepen their relationship with Christ to break free of the strongholds that bind him so all who come here can experience a life in Christ that was always intended for them.
God gave Tony Cash the vision for Freedom Lake while he himself was incarcerated. Today, Tony disciples men so they can walk in a life of true purpose and freedom.
