The new members were sworn in last month in Washington D.C. Darren (CFO of Set Free Indeed Ministry and Free Indeed In/Out Patient Clinic) is a highly respected minister that has been involved in the community for over 17 years. His life mission is to assist those who are struggling with addiction to be set free through the power of God. He and his wife, Tonja, have established two very successful substance abuse and faith-based ministries, A Day of Celebration Ministry and Set Free Indeed and Free Indeed Faith-Based Intense Outpatient Clinic, the first of its kind in the nation. The clinic is licensed by the State of Louisiana. The Free Indeed program consists of structured and intense outpatient treatment services that emphasize total recovery from substance abuse and other related addiction(s) and/or destructive behavior(s). The clinic also offers treatment to ex-offenders who through the Access to Recovery grant are able to receive transportation, transitional housing, job placement and life skills. The clinic also works closely with city and state probation and parole offices as well as judges. Free Indeed has a staff of qualified professionals who aid in meeting the needs of those bound by addiction(s) and destructive behavior(s). The Day of Celebration Ministry Team travels out into the community and schools to provide group and one-on-one counseling to those who struggle with addiction and truly want to recover.
The new members are:
The second ministry, Set Free Indeed, is a Ministry designed to work with people who struggle with addiction, destructive behavior or any form of bondage that is holding them captive. Not only does this ministry offer counseling and encouragement to those who are struggling with addiction, it also offers help to those who have loved ones who are suffering. Tonja and Darren have a passion for helping men and women who are or were incarcerated in prison to regain, reestablish and recover their lives and have established a support/recovery group for ex-offenders and family members of those incarcerated. Tonja and Darren have dedicated their lives to helping those who cannot help themselves. Their biggest joy is to see people set free from drugs, alcohol or any form of destructive behavior. They truly believe in the Power of Faith, Family, Prayer and the Word of God which states: “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed”. John 8:36 Their goal is not to bring attention to the work that they do; but, to bring attention to the great need that exists in our state and nation for people suffering from addiction(s) and/or destructive behavior(s). In addition, they are concerned with the needs for the incarcerated who suffer from addiction to receive the assistance to live a life of freedom.
