MINISTRY SCRIPTURES
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave nor free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26-28 (NLT). All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is part of it. (1 Corinthians 12:27 NLT)
and equal participation in the Body of Christ. Breaking Free Ministries desires to elevate women
and all people to their rightful position in Christ Jesus, as His Bride, with no regard to race,
gender, economic status or position. Why?Because we have put on Christ Jesus and will make
no provision for the flesh to discriminate or oppress any member of the Body of Christ. It is
our goal to reflect and operate as one unified Body with the unconditional love of God.
history of the capture and enslavement of Africans, under the oppressive rule of whites, has
caused a rift in the fabric of this country and the church that still resonates centuries later. As
believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we now have a different history and bloodline, and the Body
of Christ should reflect this oneness. Breaking Free Ministries actively works toward eliminating
racial ignorance and segregation with workshops and teachings that reconcile all members of the
Body in the bond of love.
Savior Jesus Christ and their Father God.
BREAKING FREE MINISTRY’S VISION
Our ministry is to demonstrate by example the oneness of physical marriage and the spiritual marriage of Christ and His Bride. The mystery is no longer a mystery. It is our call to see marriages operate under the principles and outline of Ephesians 5, which symbolizes Christ and the Bride, His church. It is our mission and call to see the Body of Christ functioning as One unified body with all of its members having full and equal participation in the building up of the Bride, the Body of Christ. This entails seeing all the members, male and female, using their spiritual gifts and natural talents to build this Spiritual Sanctuary. The scriptures commands us to practice seeing with spiritual eyes and walking in the spirit and not in the flesh. This means, in the Body of Christ, gender is not a factor because God does not see as man sees. In His sight there is neither male nor female, Jew or Greek, slave nor free. (Galatians 3:28)
Breaking Free Ministries believes that women have been oppressed since the Garden and kept in bondage to traditions of men. The Bride of Christ has been hijacked by men, and women have not been given full and equal participation in the Body of Christ. Christ is the Head of the Church, His Bride, not men, and He has not given over His Bride to be ruled and dominated by men. In Ephesians He tells women to be subject to their own husbands, not every male but their husbands only. In the spiritual marriage the Body of Christ is male and female, we are all the Bride and Christ is the Head or Husband. There is only one Bridegroom and one Bride, one husband and one wife. The other half of the Bride and Body of Christ, women, have not be allowed to be co-members of the Body, using their spiritual gifts, which are not gender-based, but are given as the Holy Spirit wills. Not as man wills.
BFM believes that women have been twice imprisoned in their marriages and in the Body of Christ. It is our mandate from God to help in preparing Jesus’ Bride which is the church who is the Body and all its parts and members, as a glorious Bride, without spot and blemish. Our vision is the Body of
Christ described in the book of Ephesians is operational and functioning, awaiting the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. God desires to see a whole healthy Body, with all its members acting as one.
FREEDOM CAFÉ DISCIPLESHIP HEADQUARTERS MODEL
BFM presently has had its Discipleship Headquarters and Ministry base in the State of Maine since 1999. Freedom Café is a discipleship headquarters, a ministry of evangelism and discipleship training
since 1999. Like Paul, Freedom Café serves as God’s tent making ministry and a discipleship headquarters. Since opening in 1999 God has sent over seventy souls to Breaking Free Ministry, first, witnessed to and won to the Lord; secondly, to be healed and discipled. In these twelve years both
disciple and teacher have learned valuable wisdom and instructions from God on discipleship, its content, its practice and how to bring about God results.
Freedom Café is a unique ministry ordained by God to reach and disciple souls. It defies all human reasons and goes against society’s prejudices and predictions. It is a ministry of unconditional love and acceptance. It is a unique experience in what God’s community looks like in the book of Acts. It defies racial stereotypes with two African American Christians serving physical soul food as well as the real food of the soul – the gospel of Jesus Christ, in a state that is 98% white. This ministry of Jesus Christ crosses all cultural and racial barriers of our day. It defies racial, gender and economic prejudices in its pursuit of spiritual mentoring and discipleship of souls. BFM ministers to Generation X, Y and Z as well as baby boomers. It represents the Body of Christ working for the good of each member. It represents God’s family in that we are spiritual parents to a host of young adults. Just like Jesus, BFM does not focus on race, gender, economic status but souls that need to be saved and restored.
PURPOSE OF DISCIPLESHIP

and equal participation in the spiritual work of building the Body of Christ, His Bride.
BODY MINISTRY
Restoration of the Family of God to the biblical models not the worldly, earthly model, sustained by traditions of men and by male domination and oppression. The model that we emulate is in Ephesians 5, a Body with Christ as the Head with all the members regardless of race, gender or economic status being held to the highest standards of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, making no provisions for the flesh. And physical marriages of male and female with Jesus as the center of their lives; husband as Priest of their homes demonstrating the commands in Ephesians,to lay down their lives for their wives and children as Christ did for His Bride, the Body of Christ; not to abuse, oppress, dominate and destroy them.
MINISTRY TRAINING
In order for the members of the Body of Christ to function and operate in their gifts and talents, training and teaching will be available in the Discipleship Training School for doing the work of ministry reconciling unbelievers to Christ.
