Mission
Freedom Lake exists to help men be freed from old habits or destructive patterns of addiction and the revolving door of the prison system teaching them to become Jesus' disciples who multiply the Kingdom of God.
Program accomplishments
- Freedom Lake Ministries is led through the ministry of Tony and Kim Cash in serving those incarcerated in a halfway house (a prison with 328 beds) in West Louisville. During 2025, the organization worked in the institution six days-per-week to minister to and disciple the incarcerated men. It had been previously confirmed that there was a great need for a safe and quiet place to allow those committed to spiritual growth to further develop and practice the spiritual habits being taught. As a result, dedicated discipleship dorms inside the institution are maintained. A 12-week discipleship training program is offered to those inside the facility that wish to participate in the program. Active leaders within that more general discipleship group are then accepted into this more intensive training. These men then become eligible to be invited into a dedicated dorm through a vote by other participants. Freedom Lake has also acquired property to support program participants who wish to continue their journey after being released from incarceration. The organization launched a live-in refuge to house men for an extended period where they continue to focus on their spiritual growth, have structure, work responsibilities and develop the necessary self-discipline that will be required to continue their spiritual walk and successfully re-enter society. During 2025,the organization conducted 624 Bible studies, served 120 fellowship meals, held 208 discipleship activities, provided 3,650 hours of mentorship to 614 Mentees and baptized 149 men. Through its programming, the organization withnessed hundres of men find renewed hope and purpose in their lives.Expenses $536,417 · revenue $16,134
- God's Harvest Event is held annually as an opportunity for those men participating in the Freedom Lake programming to further develop their testimony, develop presentation skills and present to a larger audience. This creates additional self-confidence and skills that will support their development into a life on mission to be disciples who make disciples who make disciples in the communities in which they ultimately live and serve. Attendees are provided insights into the challenges faced by those in the prison system both during their time in the system as well as upon their re-entry into society including challenges that often lead to recidivism. Attendees are also provided with opportunities to become more involved including mentoring, prayer support, financial support, etc.Expenses $38,164 · revenue $6,790
