Revelations of Freedom Ministries

What Revelations of Freedom Ministries does

Revelations of Freedom Ministries (ROFM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious organization founded in 2011 and headquartered at 114 Ranck Church Road, New Holland, Pennsylvania. It operates a low-barrier Christian residential addiction recovery program for men, providing safe housing, life-skills education, relationship restoration, and biblical-principles-based discipleship at no cost to participants. The organization claims 168 lives transformed since inception as its primary impact metric.

ROFM's business model is a hybrid of earned revenue and philanthropic funding. The wholly-owned Freedom Thrift subsidiary — established in 2019 as a 501(c)(3) single-member LLC (disregarded entity) — operates two retail thrift store locations (New Holland and Ronks, PA), selling donated clothing, furniture, and household goods. Thrift store proceeds directly fund the ministry's recovery operations. Additional funding comes from individual and organizational donations collected online via the Donorbox platform, supplemented by an annual Victory Banquet fundraising event. The thrift operation also provides vocational training and employment pathways for program participants.

The organization is led by Executive Director Elwood Martin and governed by an 11-member Board of Directors drawn predominantly from Lancaster County business owners. Distribution is regional, confined to Lancaster County, and the GTM motion is community-led, relying on church partnerships, word-of-mouth, thrift-store foot traffic, and Facebook for outreach. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or institutional funding rounds are disclosed; the organization operates with a headcount of 1-10 and has no app, public APIs, or disclosed integrations.
