David Hogan founded Freedom Ministries in 1981. It all started with nothing but a word from God and a vision of the area.  He began by preaching village by village. Since the beginning of Freedom Ministries, over six hundred churches have been developed and countless villages have been brought the Gospel. The mountainous region where many of the churches exist is a harsh area with few roads and many villages only recently having electric power.
