We are thrilled to announce our 2025 initiative, the Freedom Beyond Recovery program, which brings hope and transformation to men facing life’s toughest challenges. This initiative goes beyond simply overcoming addiction and incarceration—it focuses on the complete renewal of heart and spirit through the redeeming love of Jesus Christ.

Freedom Lake Ministries is dedicated to helping men break free from the destructive cycles of addiction and incarceration by fostering a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. Our discipleship programs offer a spiritual pathway to recovery, guiding men to discover their greater purpose: to become disciples of Jesus who train and disciple others.

We understand that substance abuse is often a symptom of deeper heart issues. By addressing these core struggles, we help men experience lasting transformation through the power of Christ’s love.

Freedom Lake Ministries envisions a future where men who have battled addiction, homelessness, and hopelessness find renewed purpose through God’s grace and guidance. For more than seven years, we’ve shared the gospel with over 3,000 men, equipping them to live on mission after incarceration. Many of the men who are involved in our voluntary discipleship programs and graduated from the substance abuse program at the facility go on to serve as peer mentors in jails and treatment centers, while others have joined our ministry team as on-site interns and eventually become part of our dedicated staff. These men have turned their personal struggles into powerful testimonies of hope, becoming living proof of God’s transformative power.

As part of the Freedom Beyond Recovery initiative, we are committed to equipping these men with the tools to grow in faith, embrace servanthood, and fulfill their calling to “go into the world and make disciples” (Matthew 28:18-20). Our mission field is a 328-bed halfway house in Louisville, Kentucky, home to men in a six-month drug and alcohol program. With men constantly entering and leaving, it provides a revolving door of opportunity to share God’s love and hope.

Every level of giving – one time or monthly – makes a lasting impact, transforming lives through the power of Christ. Your generosity fuels this life-changing work, providing hope and resources to those in ne
