Street Outreach

We desire to meet hurting people where they are- on the streets. RFL goes to local bars, strip clubs, truck stops, and the street corners of Stark County to find those who are in need of help. Once found, we desire to see these individuals rescued and connected with support that will move them toward transformation and wholeness.

Annual Gift of Christmas Outreach

A Day Away from Street Life – True Hope

Every year, Frontline Ministries International, of which RFL is an extension, hosts an event, The Gift of Christmas, in early December. Men, women, and children from local shelters are royally treated to a full day of Christmas celebration: Christmas shopping and gift wrapping for loved ones; a trip through FMI’s clothing donation room; a family/personal portrait; children’s activities; a dinner banquet; a Christmas program sharing the love of Father God, honoring Jesus, and welcoming Holy Spirit; and more. FMI continues to offer follow-up and support throughout the year according to the participants’ desire.

Individual Counseling and Support

  

Frontline Ministries International has been involved in the direct and indirect monetary and counseling/mentoring needs of those in our region for many years. We desire to see those whose lives have been affected by injustice and abuse set free. FMI intervenes where possible for those caught in hopeless situations, offering them the light of hope. Through FMI’s involvement in direct street ministry  as well as receiving referrals from other organizations and individuals, lives are touched and transformed.

Raising Awareness

 
FMI holds events throughout the year that increase awareness of the injustices that exist in our region, our country, and the world. Issues, facts, and current events are discussed at hosted conferences, Watch of the Lord vigils, and 24/7 prayer and worship celebrations.
Freedom Cry is an anti-human trafficking awareness and action day sponsored  by Redemption For Life to increase awareness and action in our local community.
