About Freedom Through Prayer

It started with a phone call at 2 a.m. A woman named Sarah, crying so hard she could barely speak. Her husband had relapsed again. The kids were asleep upstairs. She had nowhere to turn and no money for another round of treatment. All she asked was, "Will somebody please pray for us?"

That phone call changed everything. Not because we had the answers — we didn't. Not because we had funding or a fancy program — we had neither. But we had something the world often overlooks: we had people who knew how to get on their knees and cry out to God on behalf of someone else.

Freedom Through Prayer was founded in 2022 by a small group of believers who had seen addiction destroy too many families in their own communities — their own neighborhoods, their own churches, their own dinner tables. Some of us are pastors. Some of us are counselors. And some of us are the ones who used to hold the bottle.

We know what it feels like to wake up with shame so heavy you can't lift your head. We know what it feels like to watch someone you love disappear into a person you don't recognize. And we know — because we've lived it — that God can do what willpower alone cannot.

We are not a replacement for professional treatment, AA, or medical care. We believe in all of those things. But we also believe that prayer unlocks something in the spiritual realm that no program can touch. We believe that when 20 people pray for you by name, every single day, something shifts. Something breaks. Something opens.

Since we started, we've prayed for thousands of individuals and families. We've watched men put down the bottle after 30 years. We've watched marriages come back from the dead. We've watched children get their parents back. Not every story ends the way we hope — we grieve those too — but we never, ever stop praying.

This ministry will always be free. We will never charge a dime for prayer. We are funded entirely by the generosity of donors who believe in what God is doing. If you're reading this and you need prayer, you've already found the right place. If you're reading this and you want to help, we need you too.
