inFreedom has at its core, a fundamental belief that God is love and that he pours out his love to all.
God exists in three persons: our Heavenly Father, who is the author and giver of all love, healing and wholeness; his Son, Jesus, who showed this unfathomable, all-encompassing love in action by making a path for us into this love by his own sacrifice; and the Holy Spirit, who travels this path, connecting our mortal lives to God's immortal presence.
Why Freedom?
Once, while Jesus was walking the earth, it is reported that he read out a prophecy from old writings that declared
‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
The writings were by a prophet, Isaiah, and this is recorded in the bible: in Luke 4, vs 18. This was the work Jesus did on earth and, as his followers, it is now our work. Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to enable him to do this work. That same spirit anoints us to continue Jesus' work now he is back in Heaven.

PEACEFUL
In an unknown world of anxiety and stress, Jesus said receive my peace
HEALED
Beyond survival, living life to the full as God intended: fully Human and fully whole. We walk the walk and continue the journey not as one who has one the race but as fellow travellers being healed.
WHOLE
to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. As the kintsugi pot shows its scars in its beauty, so we know that we are a result of our trials and traumas and our brokenness is part of our whole.
