Jason Lane is a true testament of our Lord's grace at work through this little ministry. He overcame a more than 30-year struggle with addiction and adversity when he found Set Free Church and received Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior on May 17th, 2016. He immediately felt the call of God on his life to serve others and set out to do that with his entire heart and soul. Through hard work and commitment to his new kingdom calling, he was later appointed Director of the Set Free Men's Discipleship Ranch in Dickson, TN. His passion for helping others continues to grow and he is now currently serving as the Men's discipleship Home Director in Madison, TN.
