Freedom Communities’ mission is to drive holistic family and community transformation through innovative programs and real estate investments in the Freedom Drive Corridor. With a tagline of “family-centered community transformation,” we invest in infrastructure and people.

Resurrection Church was established in 1964 by a group of believers who started gathering in homes around Hadath. Ps. Khalil Ibrahim, an Egyptian theology student, who was studying in Beirut, led the ministry and pastored the church until 1976. After the eruption of the Lebanese civil war, Ps. Khalil had to flee the country with his family, handing over the church leadership to Ps. Ghassan Khalaf, who pastored the church, building it on strong Biblical doctrine. In 2008, Ps. Ghassan handed over the leadership to Ps. Hikmat Kashouh, our current senior pastor. With Ps. Hikmat’s kingdom-minded approach and missional leadership, the church has grown and still is growing exponentially in size, quality, and impact.
In each year and in every season, we see God open doors for us to reach our neighbors and enemies with the Gospel as we faithfully serve and practically love refugee families and people who were most in need. What we are witnessing is unprecedented!
Because of the holistic ministry that the church provides, and because of the sacrificial love of Christ that many experienced, many were baptized, and lives were transformed. Today, the church is more than 44 congregations, led by indigenous pastors from various backgrounds, with more than 3,800 families journeying on the Pathway of Discipleship and making an impact in their community.

However, Elam’s founders had a firm conviction that regardless of who sits on earthly thrones, Jesus reigns from His heavenly throne. Our name, Elam, is taken from Jeremiah 49:38 where God says, “I will set my throne in Elam.” (Elam was a kingdom in ancient times that became an important region within the Persian empire).
So, our name is a statement of faith that the Lord will keep His promise and have His way in Iran. It is a prayer that His Kingdom will indeed come to Iran. That is why whatever the political circumstances, our mission remains the same: to strengthen and expand the church in the Iran region and beyond.

So on his flight home to Michigan, John prayed what he called his “Jonah prayer”: anywhere but there, Lord. Anywhere but India.
But the truth is, John witnessed an incredible need on that trip. Not just in the poverty and injustice all around him—but in how immensely untouched by the Gospel India was.
And he discovered an incredible opportunity: passionate Christians in India who, despite being radically outnumbered, were motivated to reach their own nation with the love of Christ. John could not ignore the calling God had placed in his heart, and eventually, a beautiful partnership was born.
