FRESH START FOR ALL NATIONS

What FRESH START FOR ALL NATIONS does

Fresh Start For All Nations is a private, donation-supported nonprofit religious ministry headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, founded in the late 1990s by the late Pastor Steve Peterson and his wife Mindy after a personal marital crisis led them to develop a structured biblical framework for emotional healing. The organization's core offering is a proprietary six-part forgiveness process — covering identification of offense/hurt/loss, emotional impact, internal responses, pouring out the heart to God, forgiving, and releasing — packaged as a Processing Booklet and Participant Guide, supplemented by themed adult and children's workbooks, a 28-session Freedom Series audio/video library, and a mobile app distributed via Subsplash. All resources and services are provided completely free with no registration required, supported entirely by voluntary donations (online via Bloomerang, mailed checks, stock/estate gifts, and corporate matches) and an annual gala fundraiser.

Distribution operates across three channels: in-person weekly Tuesday gatherings at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Omaha serving adults aged 19 and older; direct-to-consumer digital delivery via website PDF downloads and the Fresh Start mobile app; and international reach through translation partnerships that have produced resources in 20+ languages distributed across 50+ nations. The customer base is segmented into adults seeking emotional healing from offense and loss, children and families, and international churches/ministries, with no fee, no registration, and a freemium pricing model. The organization is led by its co-founders (Pastor Steve now deceased, Mindy Peterson active), employs approximately 7 people, and operates with no disclosed parent company, institutional funding, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• Theophostic Prayer Ministry: A Christian inner-healing ministry focused on praying through past wounds and emotional pain. Comparable to Fresh Start's process-oriented approach to emotional healing through faith-based methodology.
• Pure Desire Ministries: A faith-based ministry providing resources and small groups for sexual integrity and emotional healing. Comparable delivery model (small groups, books, online resources) and faith-based forgiveness framing.
• RightNow Media: A faith-based video streaming library serving churches with original Christian content. Comparable content-distribution model and target audience, though operates as a paid subscription library rather than free.
• Peacemaker Ministries: A Christian conflict resolution and forgiveness ministry offering biblical reconciliation training and resources. Closely comparable to Fresh Start's six-part forgiveness framework and faith-based approach to processing offense.
• Upper Room: A global Christian spiritual formation ministry offering devotional resources, small group materials, and prayer resources. Comparable faith-based content distribution model and emphasis on spiritual growth resources.
• Celebrate Recovery: A Christ-centered 12-step recovery program offering small groups, leader training kits, and curriculum for emotional and behavioral healing. Highly comparable to Fresh Start's small-group, free, faith-based healing methodology.
• Elijah House: A Christian prayer counseling and inner-healing ministry providing structured processes for resolving emotional wounds. Directly comparable to Fresh Start's emphasis on biblical processes for emotional restoration.

Broad incumbents

• Life.Church: One of the largest U.S. churches with extensive free online resources, including counseling and discipleship content. Comparable digital content distribution to faith-based audiences, but as part of a much broader church portfolio.
• American Association of Christian Counselors: A large professional association providing Christian counseling credentials, training, and resources. Comparable in faith-based emotional-healing focus but operates as a membership/credentialing body rather than direct service.

Others

• Subsplash: The mobile app platform that powers the Fresh Start mobile app. Functions as an enabling technology provider to Fresh Start and other faith-based ministries rather than a competing ministry.
