Founder and President: Freda R. Gates
As a troubled teen, Freda found herself making a lot of wrong choices. At the age of fourteen, Freda was raped.... Finding herself unable to tell anyone at that time, because of the shame she might have faced, being that she was a preachers kid; she kept it a secret for years. As she grew into adulthood, she found herself in the arms of a drug dealer and pregnant at the age of twenty. Freda turned to alcohol as a comfort for pain. With many temptations of suicide, she would find herself not even remembering certain events of the day before. After years of relationships with drug dealers, and being able to purchase whatever she desired.... She realized that it came with a great cost. During this time in her life of decision-making, she then lost her close friend, her sister in law, Michelle Clark. Her passing brought much hurt and eye-opening decisions; which caused Freda to turn her face back to God. Freda took her young baby boy, and started going to church on a regular basis. Within a year, Freda found her true God sent man, Pastor Jarvis Gates!
After getting her life back on track, Freda has found her real purpose and calling from God.

Whether in career, ministry, or home, Freda believes that every woman has been chosen to do more." Freda hearts desire is to see women grow into the woman that God meant for them to be. Feeling strongly that what she went through could help another young girl or woman; she wrote and published, "The Making of a Woman" Seven Principles of Deliverance.
