During 2023, the organization worked in the institution six days-per-week to minister to and disciple the incarcerated men. It had been previously confirmed that there was a great need for a safe and quiet place to allow those committed to spiritual growth to further develop and practice the spiritual habits being taught. As a result, a dedicated discipleship dorm inside the institution was launched. A 12-week discipleship training program is offered to those inside the facility that wish to participate in the program. Active leaders within that more general discipleship group are then accepted into this more intensive training. These men then become eligible to be invited into the dorm through a vote by other participants. During 2023, Freedom Lake acquired property to support program participants who wished to continue their journey after being released from incarceration. The organization launched a live-in refuge to house men for a period of twelve to twenty-four months where they continue to focus on their spiritual growth, have structure, work responsibilities and develop the necessary self-discipline that will be required to continue their spiritual walk and successfully re-enter society. During 2023,the organization conducted 208 Bible studies, served 116 fellowship meals, held 104 discipleship activities and provided 3,285 hours of mentorship. The organization facilitated 480 men taking their first step toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, baptizing 137 men, and witnessing hundreds of men find renewed hope and purpose in their lives. 48111 0 8785 God's Harvest Event is held annually as an opportunity for those men participating in the Freedom Lake programming to further develop their testimony, develop presentation skills and present to a larger audience. This creates additional self-confidence and skills that will support their development into a life on mission to be disciples who make disciples who make disciples in the communities in which they ultimately live and serve. Attendees are provided insights into the challenges faced by those in the prison system both during their time in the system as well as upon their re-entry into society including challenges that often lead to recidivism. Attendees are also provided with opportunities to become more involved including mentoring, prayer support, financial support, etc. 0 0 0 519909 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 KY X Kim Cash 5029312965 2005 Ascender Court Louisville KY 40245 Mr Anthony Cash Board Chair and CEO 60 0 X X 73065 0 3940 Ms Kim Cash Chief Operating Officer 60 0 X 58376 0 3940 Mr Mark Snyder Secretary thru January 2023 0.1 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Diane Cornwell Secreary and Treasurer 4 0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Hanlein Board Member 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Scott Hill Board Member 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Bryon Glover Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 131441 0 7880 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 557787 6472 557787 God's Harvest Event 813110 8785 8785 0 0 0 0 0 0 8785 9322 0 0 9322 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 575894 8785 0 9322 X 38394 38394 0 0 0 0 0 0 105075 87760 9792 7523 0 0 0 0 17638 16174 0 1464 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11259 9598 875 786 5377 4301 538 538 8148 8148 0 0 11100 0 11100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 95742 59606 0 36136 7574 5333 314 1927 14905 12463 976 1466 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24351 21916 1218 1217 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 91753 87165 2294 2294 0 0 0 0 26407 23767 1320 1320 15524 13527 1665 332 Other Direct Beneficiary Support (Supplies, Food Clothing, etc.) 108232 108232 0 0 Auto Expenses 13437 12093 672 672 God's Harvest Event Expenses 10896 9388 325 1183 Dues and Subscriptions 9012 2044 3484 3484 614824 519909 34573 60342 219834 154206 284261 327931 102092 155000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4170 9759 2092203 24728 2067475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10200 20718 620557 2735089 964 34426 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2120000 0 0 964 2154426 X 254170 27134 365423 553529 619593 580663 620557 2735089 -38930 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 13098 137792 283911 597691 557787 1590279 13098 137792 283911 597691 557787 1590279 86820 1503459 256 9322 9578 1599857 0.93975 0.80435 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1525000 1525000 0 355000 13313 341687 0 0 0 0 0 91000 6825 84175 0 121203 4590 116613 2067475 1 Team Expansion 4112 Old Routt Rd Louisville KY 40299 311043937 501(c)(3) 38394 0 Support ministry activities 1 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Freedom Lake, Inc. made a grant for restricted purposes to support shared ministry.
