Freedom Christian Fellowship

A number of exciting things are happening with our church family right now.   We now have a definite end date to our time in the ministry house — April 30th.    This culminates a major learning process for us where we have learned how to help people take responsibility for their freedom.

Brad is marrying his Cincinnati sweetheart Becca Wickert on March 20th and they will be living just a stones throw away from Will’s house where we are meeting.   Joel and Brandon also have plans to get an apartment in the same complex. We are confident that this shift in the center of gravity making us all closer is going to create a lot of momentum.   Brad is in the final round of an interview process for a job that would be a closer and more flexible as well.

Joel continues to walk in victory from the major breakthrough he’s had in the last 6 months and has been delivering a series of powerful messages including divine health, heart evangelism, and now a series on victory over the devil.

Will finished and published the our book “Free at Last” and it is now available for sale on Amazon.   We are planning a series of Freedom Seminars which will allow us to take the message on the road.   We will first have the seminar here, possibly followed by ones in Bastrop, LA; Duluth, MN; and John G. Lake Ministries in Colorado.

Jaime has been working very hard to leverage her classical piano skills into worship leadership.   Our first worship night was last Sunday and it was really great!   At the same time, we’ve had our first consistent local members start to come and it has been exciting as they tell others and also experience freedom through the ministry that they were unable to find elsewhere.

Perhaps most importantly we are in the process of launching a mission organization.  Joel is now in the planning stage with another friend about doing an initial trip into a remote and dangerous area.  We are targeting this trip for June.    At the same time, we want to launch a business which will support missionary activity year round.  Instead of living on nothing and constantly raising support, the vision of our church is that the local leadership be volunteers, and a key part of the budget go to missions.   In addition, we are in the planning phase for starting a local business.  This will support the flexibility needed by missionaries to have the money they need to live on an ongoing basis.
