MISSION & PURPOSE
Breaking Free Ministry brings renewal, hope, and healing to individuals, women, and families through compassionate community outreach. Guided by our four pillars—Community Outreach, Career Training, Elderly Support Services, and Emergency Disaster Assistance—we meet people in their hardest seasons and help them rebuild with dignity. Through meals, mentoring, practical resources, digital access, and life-skills training, we create pathways toward stability, independence, and purpose for every person we serve.
VISION
Our vision is to build a community where people of all ages can heal, and grow.We believe every individual deserves the chance to walk in freedom, live with purpose, and step into a future filled with hope. By combining hands-on support, spiritual care, life-skills development, and strong partnerships, we raise up women, families, and community members who not only rebuild their own lives—but strengthen the next generation.
OUR STORY
Breaking Free Ministry was born out of one woman’s journey through trauma, loss, and after walking through years of abuse, rejection, and deep heartbreak, Jeanie Lemaster encountered healing in a fresh way.
When a close friend’s son died from an overdose, Jeanie knew it was time to act. What began as opening her heart to women, and offering simple day-to-day support grew into a ministry focused on healing, practical help, and long-term growth. Out of that step of obedience, Breaking Free Ministry saw 75 women in 10 years come through our residential program with a 70% success rate over 10 years. In 2025, we launched the EmpowerHer program and in 3 months after launch , we saw 350 women access our on- line modules.
Today, Breaking Free Ministry has grown into a network of community outreach, meals, job-training support, and spiritual care that serves women, families, and neighbors across Jessamine County and beyond.
