OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS
HE WHO BLESSES OTHERS, WILL HIMSELF BE BLESSED!
Ministries do not stand alone nor should they! They are a means to collectively provide resources to those in need, whatever that need may be. We believe God has opened the door for Keys to Freedom Ministries and He will bring along those who want to join us in this effort which ultimately will glorify Him! What we give to help the incarcerated and their families is nothing short of Gods gift and it all comes from His Church and this community and no recipient within the scope of this ministry is excluded from sharing in these gifts.
Keys to Freedom Ministries would like to acknowledge Organizations/Ministries in our community that have stepped up to share their gifts, talents and/or time to support us in this cause. We have taken the time to at post how they have blessed our ministry, however, click on their link and find more about what they do for all of us!! May we all support them in their cause, as each member of the body contributes….we are more fully equipped to meet the needs of our community.
