True Freedom Ministries Partner with The Dalton Foundation to teach inmates at the Grafton Reintegration Center important and essential tools like Office and Excel in the Microsoft Office Certification Program. 

On April 21st, Mike Swiger had the privilege of delivering the final address at the Northeast Ohio Reentry Summit held at the Cleveland Convention Center, receiving a standing ovation. Over 250 potential employers, city and county officials, and administrators from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction participated in this summit.

With 3,000 inmates released every year to Cleveland alone and 2,500 still unemployed after one year, unemployment is a serious issue for ex-convicts.  Employment opportunities and strategies to give former inmates a second chance were discussed in detail.

Please visit our Facebook page at facebook.com/TrueFreedomOhio to see Mike Swiger, our Executive Director, deliver the final remarks.  

By God’s grace, True Freedom has found great favor with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.  We praise the Lord that we are frequently asked to speak at various summits across the state.  Please pray that God would use every opportunity to bring forth fruit for His Kingdom.

Construction is underway for the Emil and Sandy Pocisk Homeless Kitchen at True Freedom Ministry headquarters on Cypress Avenue!  In the ministry initiated by her late husband Emil, Sandy has faithfully served the homeless for 23 straight years, never missing a Saturday for any reason. Thank you to all who gave so generously to make this happen.  This kitchen will be used to provide meals for the homeless, those getting out of prison, and our addiction recovery clients.  

We are excited to be expanding our programming to include additional addiction recovery services, basic finance and computer literacy classes, and other educational opportunities at our new location.  For the first time we will also be inviting and transporting men and women from Cleveland homeless shelters to participate in all we offer at headquarters.  Lord willing, the kitchen will be completed the week of June 19th.  May God be greatly glorified as we feed these men and women and present the Bread of Life to their hungry souls.
