Freedom Initiative - Local Missions

Andrew Lawson is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Hi everyone,

My name is Andrew. I am the Associate Pastor at a church in Englewood, FL named Englewood Christian Church. My goal is to help support those in the local mission field in Englewood, FL and surrounding cities to reach as many people as possible in a digital age by creating video testimonials. To allow local missions to gather support beyond their zip code as well as inspire others to join them in their efforts to make a change in the lives of those God has placed right in front of them.

The mission field consists of:

Those who have yet to hear the Gospel
Those who need clothed
Those who need fed
Those who are without a home

Starting out, I am partnering with individuals, small groups and a few local churches that are serving their community and being the "Hands and Feet" of Jesus.

I will be interviewing certain individuals who are able to articulate their walk from start to present day. I’ll be going on-site to document their processes and helping them share their struggles and their victories.

In order to be properly equipped for this initiative, I’ll need to purchase the necessary equipment. For the past couple of years, I’ve been able to acquire enough professional equipment for audio recordings as well as post-production video. I’m needing financial help for the rest of the equipment. All labor services for planning, pre-production, production, post-production, and marketing will be provided as a free service to the missions featured.

Here’s a list of what I’ll be purchasing in three phases:
