Freedom Thru Jesus Fellowship (FTJF) started over 30 years ago in Ralph and Gloria Gilbert’s home with a Friday night fellowship. People came from a three-state area for ministry. Many received healing and discovered first-hand what the Bible says about healing and deliverance is true. People found that the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is active and working powerfully today, just as it was in the time Jesus walked on this earth. Many have witnessed that the works in the Book of Acts are still happening today. These Friday night meetings and personal ministry birthed pastors and many prayer-healing ministers.
During that time hundreds received help for early life abuse, sexual abuse, addictions, depression, anxiety, demonic torment, and spiritual confusion, to name just a few of the problems troubling people that came for ministry. They received healing and experienced the awesome power and connection with love and grace of God in a very personal way. There have been many testimonies of changed and redeemed lives, miracles, healings, and marriages saved. As a result, many of these people answered a call to ministry and service to God, locally and around the world, attesting to the anointing on this ministry. The ministry has the spiritual oversight of a global ministry and a dedicated Board of Directors.
Freedom Thru Jesus Fellowship is a Holy Spirit guided and empowered ministry using Biblical principles in ministry, healing and spiritual battles. We minister to victims of childhood and early life trauma, neglect and abuse, Post-Traumatic Stress, Dissociative and many other disorders.
This ministry follows the biblical dictates to bear one another’s burdens, disciple those in need of guidance, comfort and heal the wounded hearts and set free those who are spiritually bound or oppressed. The essential components of this ministry are prayer, the work and direction of the Holy Spirit, healing, deliverance and spiritual direction. The whole person is taken into consideration – body, soul, heart and spirit. Spiritual healing is as important as emotional and physical healing.
Our ministry joins with God’s anointing to help people become free to live fruitful, godly lives. Ministry is based on prayer and functions through the presence and power of the Lord Jesus Christ and the anointing, gifts and leading of the Holy Spirit. We make every effort to demonstrate the same kind of unconditional love, care and understanding that Jesus Christ demonstrated.
