The Full Story
A few years ago God gave us a vision to help our brothers and sisters in Pakistan. We started by sending them Bibles and conducting studies and prayer sessions with them. We were amazed by their hunger for the Word! After a few months of praying together one of the leaders on the ground in Pakistan began to tell us about families that were in slavery in a nearby town. We began to send food to the families in slavery in Sept 2022. Together, being led by the Holy Spirit, we began to inquire about the debt amounts that would be required to free the slaves. From there we have raised funds to free 30+ families from slavery and set them up with small businesses for income so they don’t go back into that life. They will remain free! Many of those we have set free have grown up at the brick factory and had families of their own while taking on the debt of their family members before them. We recognize this as the generational curse that it is.
Jesus came to set ALL of the captives FREE!
Then we began to look around in our very own community...so many in bondage of a totally different kind. The forgotten ones. The streets of Jacksonville are full of hurting, hungry and homeless people. The 99/1 Jacksonville Homeless Outreach began in the sweltering summer days with bottles of cold water and prayer. Since then it has expanded into a weekly dinner in the streets with bible study, prayer and worship. We have seen so many lives transformed. Salvation, deliverance, and miraculous healings are frequent occurrences at these outreaches. Light is shining through the darkness as we partner with the Holy Spirit to advance the Kingdom of Heaven!

Since September 2022, through generous donations, 30 families have been set free and given small businesses so they remain free!
There are still 40 families enslaved in this town near Islamabad.
The goal of 99&1 Ministries is that all families be set free!
Until then, we will continue to feed those enslaved.

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
