With the ability to connect to people of any age group, culture, or background, evangelist Ken Freeman lives with a passion to bring people to know Christ and to make a deeper, more intimate, commitment to Him. Given his history, he has a special passion for reaching out to youth ministry.
Ken has been blessed with a beautiful wife, Debbie, two beautiful children, and six beautiful grandchildren. He has a passion for his ministry and he’s had an enormous amount of opportunities to do what he loves most, lead people to Christ. All this being said, it’s important to note Ken’s life has not always been this way.
The son of an alcoholic mother and an absentee father, Ken’s life was filled with abuse and neglect. Often he and his sister would be left for days while his mother satisfied her addiction to alcohol and possible other drugs. Other times she’d leave them with a boyfriend who physically and sexually abused them. There were times he thought about suicide. Other times he thought about murder. His life seemed out of control. Ken spent his life running, trying to survive. He was bitter, hurt, and alone.
Despite a horrifying childhood, Ken defied all odds with one choice that would change his life forever, his decision to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. With that one choice Ken’s years of mental and physical abuse turned from a useless mess to a powerful message.
God has blessed Ken as he has been in the ministry for 30+ years, serving as a youth leader for about 12 years and an evangelist for 25 years. He has seen more than 200,000 decisions for Christ, one of which was his own father’s; been in more than 3,000 churches; written two books; and built a ministry around his choice to accept Christ.
Ken has traveled throughout the United States and into Canada to tell people about the living God who has the power to transform lives. He speaks at churches, revivals, conventions, conferences, and retreats of all kinds. He even speaks in public schools, encouraging students not to give into peer pressure and to live a life that makes a difference. One principal commented, “Our kids have never behaved so well during an assembly. They had a good time, but when he got down to it, you could have heard a pin drop.”
Ken’s approach to evangelism allows him to grab the attention of his audience through humor and his down-to-earth personality. His message, then, is always delivered in a fresh, easy-to-understand manner rooted in God’s Word. Ken’s ability to be versatile allows him to communicate well in traditional and contemporary settings, school auditorium or church staff meeting, a large convention or an intimate retreat.
One thing is certain: God has given Ken a passion for the lost and the brokenhearted, and that is evident in his ministry and daily life.
