Coming out of prison made my first experience with FreedomWorks both surreal and overwhelming. I got to the Welcome Back Center and had the first bit of privacy in over 3 years. A comfortable bed, real food, and friendly, welcoming smiles. I actually broke down at the Thursday Night Connection. I had absolutely nothing but the clothes on my back, basically. FreedomWorks presented me with a bus pass along with the food and clothing vouchers. I learned that there truly ARE people who actually care about me.

FreedomWorks is in my neighborhood, about 4 blocks from my house. As both a Christian and a community resident I am happy to see the positive work of this ministry.

FreedomWorks is a safe place for total restoration for guys coming out of prisons, jails and various forms of addiction back to a community of like-minded believers fully committed to the well-being of others.

FreedomWorks goes after the heart of the matter. It goes to the very heart of that individual, and once that's changed, then you see long term lasting results.

The guys in the house both remind me of what God has done in my life and make me excited about what more He will do!

God's word is applicable to our life. It's my roadmap. It's my blueprint of success - of how to transition out of captivity, into the life that God intended us to have.

Brady’s release date was approaching, decisions needed to be made. In the past, this was always easy. He would go to the place that lets him have the most freedom. But something was different this time around. He wanted more for himself. He wanted a fighting chance to never return to prison.

Brady went down the list of options for halfway houses and treatment centers. Some seemed cheap, and others easy. “Come here, do this and don’t do that and you’ll be fine,” was about all he heard. Brady had heard it all before.

Then FreedomWorks caught his eye. Something about those guys seemed different. “The revolving door stops here.” Brady felt that was him: a revolving door of prison, treatment centers, probation and parole offices, courtrooms, and dope houses. He gave Steve a call, they prayed together, and it seemed right.

A few months later Brady went through the prison gates one last time. He arrived at FreedomWorks, and knew right away this was where he was supposed to be.

Brady says, “I worked an honest program; it wasn’t always easy, nothing good ever is. I abided by the covenant and felt myself changing on the inside. I was doing it for Christ; I was doing it for me.”

As a graduate looking back, Brady can’t imagine any other program offering him the sense of community that he experienced at FreedomWorks.

“If you’re like me, sick and tired of the revolving door, give FreedomWorks a call. I promise you’ll be glad you did.” -Brady Irons
