Hi there friends!
We’re the Freudenbergs (a.k.a.”Team Fro”) and we’re really excited to share a bit with you about the calling that the Lord has placed on our family for 2023 and beyond.
If you’ve known us for any amount of time, then you know we are deeply passionate about discovering how Jesus wants our family to partner with him in HIS mission to bring not-yet-believers to Himself, in such a way that they become His disciples and become equipped to multiply disciples themselves. He is worthy of the obedience of the nations, and that includes us!
We’ve always been quick to run different “experiments’ (events, groups, worship nights, retreats, etc.) based on the clues that we feel we’ve been given from the Lord as to how to make disciples. Until recently, we’ve honestly had a hard time finding the right equipping to see this actually happen in our western context.
By God’s grace and faithfulness, over the last 18 months we have discovered and participated in several incredible coaching environments (1000 Houses, Caesar Kalinowski, Kansas City Underground) that have given us the tools, accountability, blueprints and encouragement to see disciples made in our city and surrounding neighborhoods through our household.
We continue to receive weekly coaching and accountability in the three areas listed below…The calling on our household is simple but focused:
1) LIVE ON MISSION– Reach not yet believers through prayer and relationship-building with people of peace in a variety of different mission fields.
2) CULTIVATE AND MULTIPLY COMMUNITY- See a healthy, multiplying church community continue to emerge in our home.
3) MAKE DISCIPLES WHO MULTIPLY DISCIPLES- Take on apprentices for 4-6 months at a time and give to them what has been imparted to us. Teach them how to make disciples themselves.
Again, these are areas in which we have invested countless hours in order understand God’s heart and will. We’ve been engaging in these efforts as a family for years, but feel led to enter into a season of even deeper focus and intentionality for this Kingdom work. This work requires time and resources that we don’t have access to yet.
That’s where your partnership comes in. If you see Kingdom fruit coming from our family and desire to support the work we are doing, we’d be honored if you would consider partnering with us in these three ways:
1) Prayerfully- Experience has shown us that prayer movements preceded disciple-making movements. We believe that God has made a sovereign decisionto connect His actions to our prayers, and we greatly appreciate your partnership in praying for the Kingdom work happening through our home.
2) Actively– If you are local to the Cincinnati area, we would love to lean on your spiritual gifting to provide a more complete expression of the Body in our community. If there is any specific gifting that you think might serve the efforts of our household, we would LOVE to partner with you in this way!
3) Financially– In this season, we are looking for financial partnerships that will free up more of our time and allow us to engage more effectively in the mission as described above. Our ministry becomes sustainable through one time gifts and monthly recurring donations. If you would like to partner with our household financially, you can do so by clicking the link below.
