Overview
Mission
Freedom House Ministries operates primarily through The Coffee House, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and calling people to a personal relationship with the living Savior. Trip to Alaska, June 2023 From Idaho to Alaska The House Church in Hailey, Idaho took a team of 10 to Palmer, Alaska from June 17th to June 23rd, 2023. Our team partnered with established ministry leaders there who are serving people in Palmer. Our role was to support, encourage, and do whatever was needed in order to help the people serving there who already have relationships with those living in Alaska. Thank you to all who supported the team financially and with prayer. Your support is a big encouragement to us. It is our desire to take another team on a mission trip in 2025. We are praying about where God would have us to go. We have a mission trip fund that you can contribute to if you like. All donations...
