We are moving to Orlando, Florida to plant a Freeway! We will be partnered with a local church, and we’re extremely excited about what God can do through this next venture. We hope to move in the next six months, spending time on the road to raise the rest of our funding needs.

The need

Each time we visited Orlando, we were met with a huge need for discipleship-based recovery. The people are hurting, broken, lost, and can see no way out of the cycle.

“The Changing Overdose Crisis in Central Florida” report shows overdose deaths across the state are up 190% since 2015 and continue to have a crippling impact on Central Florida in particular. Project Opioid said overdose deaths are up 25% in Central Florida, with Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties having the highest overdose rates in the state.

The plan

Freeway Orlando is set to launch in 2023! We will provide free meals, free clothing, free transportation, worship, and a Gospel message every week. We plan to open a men’s discipleship house soon after launching weekly services. We will work diligently to build partnerships with local law enforcement and parole offices, and invite local businesses to partner with us through donations and service projects.

How you can help

The first way to support us is prayer. Some of our prayer requests:

Traveling and raising support over the next few months
Our move to Florida: housing, travel, and expenses
Partnerships with local law enforcement and probation and parole in Orlando
That God would prepare the hearts of future volunteers and leaders
That God would prepare the hearts of those we will reach

Along with prayer, we ask that you consider becoming a financial partner in reaching Orlando. Find out how you can partner with us today.
