HISTORY
Freedom Restoration
Ministries, Inc. was founded in 1999 as a result of the sincere desire of
Jack Pruett to see people reenter society successfully after incarceration.
His prayer and burden was
to help those being destroyed through addiction, abuse, and the inability to
find lasting freedom, become Godly productive members of society. The
ministry was officially incorporated in Oklahoma as a non-profit corporation
in 1999, and was granted a 501c(3) non-profit organization status by the IRS
in 2001.
Freedom Restoration
Ministries is currently governed by 12 Board members which share a burden and
commitment to the purpose, vision, and objectives of the ministry. FRM operates
Beaver Creek Baptist
Church. We hold services at least twice a month on the 2nd and 4th
Sunday evenings at 6pm. These services are open to the public.
Freedom Restoration
Ministries currently operates a prison ministry including County
Jails and State, Federal, and
private prisons for men and women, and teens. The prison ministry also
includes a once a year Hope for the Holidays program which takes gifts,
fellowship and the hope of the gospel into prisons and juvenile detention
facilities in Oklahoma at Christmas time. The goal of Freedom Restoration
Ministries is to one day have representatives preaching, teaching, and
discipling men, women and children in all of the correctional facilities in
Oklahoma.
Freedom Restoration
Ministries also operates a Residential Discipleship Center for men and women
on the 40 acres near Agra Oklahoma. We currently have a
brand new dormitory that can hold up to 12 men and a small house that can
hold up to 5 women. (Note: Women’s home is currently being remodeled).
These restoration facilities are a place where individuals and families
being destroyed by addictions can find help. This program is and will
continue to be developed into a pattern that can be duplicated in other
areas around the country to further our long term purpose; to bring
Christ-centered healing and restoration to individuals and families being
destroyed by additions and/or abuse, empowering them to become production
members of society.
Future
plans for Freedom Restoration Ministries include the building of a brand new
women’s dormitory that can house up to 8 women and 2 women with children.
Further plans include a restoration community with housing for single dads
with children, and families seeking healing and restoration.
Freedom Restoration Ministries also has a
burden for the homeless and outcast of Oklahoma.
