Empowering Incarcerated and Recently-Released Men with Second Chances Through the Power of JESUS!
Join us in shaping futures with a lasting impact. In a world where the cycle of addiction and the revolving door of incarceration seems unbreakable, we invite you to join us in breaking chains and shaping a future where second chances through Jesus create sustainable change!
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Freedom Lake is a Christ-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping men break free from entrenched patterns of addiction and the revolving door of the prison system through a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. Through mentorship and spiritual guidance, Freedom Lake supports these men in becoming Jesus’ disciples, who then mentor others. The organization focuses on nurturing a deeper relationship with God, seeking His guidance, and making choices aligned with His teachings.
The discipleship journey empowers participants to become law-abiding citizens who make an eternal impact wherever God calls them to serve. By nurturing individual God-given talents and preparing individuals for their unique life missions, Freedom Lake seeks to create a transformative experience. Ultimately, the organization’s goal is to equip men to lead lives of service, obedience, and purpose in accordance with the principles of the Great Commission. As a 501(c)3 organization, Freedom Lake operates under the framework of nonprofit status, emphasizing its commitment to serving others and advancing its mission for the greater good.
The Freedom Lake Pathways Discipleship Journey is a three-phase process.
We believe that Christ can change the desires of our hearts and serenity can be found in a life of service to the furthering of His Kingdom. Tony and Kim Cash – the Founders of Freedom Lake – knew there needed to be a place where men can come to deepen their relationship with Christ to break free of the strongholds that bind him so all who come here can experience a life in Christ that was always intended for them.
God gave Tony Cash the vision for Freedom Lake while he himself was incarcerated. Today, Tony disciples men so they can walk in a life of true purpose and freedom.

Through our discipleship program, men are prepared to be freed from the bondage of substance and alcohol abuse or other life-controlling issues and equipped to do the work God has called them to do. Through Obedience-based Discipleship, these men complete their training at the Discipleship Training Center prepared and equipped to be a disciple who multiplies.
