OUR SOLUTIONS

TRAINING

We have seen many walk away from this type of drug addiction since we launched our television programming in 2003. In addition, through our Freedom Connection Leadership Training (FCLT) we have been able to continue to help young Iranians experience freedom from the addiction of drugs, in addition to training them as emerging leaders to ultimately be able to help and train others they meet get free from drug abuse. We have not just put a band-aid on the issue but we are training these ex-addicts to be able to help others get free from the same vices they once struggled with.

REFUGE

When we have our FCLT Conferences (Freedom Connection Leadership Training) it also allows those who attend to escape the routine of their daily lives as well as the pull of the drugs they battle. We provide a place of solidarity for them to clear their mind, and stay off of the drugs they have been battling while providing positive reinforcement, teaching, and counseling so that they can grow and become free. We are currently strategizing on building our own permanent facility to house those seeking physical and spiritual refuge so they can be healed, restored, and then trained in a new profession so they can not only learn self-sustaining principles but use them.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Just because they come to a conference does not mean someone will change right away and become free from their addictions so we provide on going accountability with leaders in and around their area when they leave to go back home.

OUR PROGRESS

Just over

250 Leaders

have gone through our FCLT Conference.

Leaders like this can then begin to autonomously help those around them who have struggled with drug addiction, including other potential leaders who have gone through our FCLT Conferences.

Our Next goal is to raise up

1000 leaders

We have trained our 250 leaders to begin to reach out and identify more potential leaders and begin to lead them. As leaders continue to grow by going through our FCLT Conferences and other training programs we appoint them as house church pastors and the underground house church movement happening today in Iran will continue to grow and influence the world around it.
