Seeds of Freedom: A Rooted & Grounded Mission

Faith-Based Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Mission in Liberia

Seeds of Freedom is an extension of our Concepts of Truth International work at the United Nations, where we seek to affirm life and family values while advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is carried out through compassionate, faith-based partnerships in impoverished nations affected by profound mental health and addiction challenges.

Our mission recognizes that sustainable transformation requires more than immediate relief efforts alone, which can unintentionally reinforce dependency and prolong cycles of poverty. For this reason, Seeds of Freedom Missions emphasizes long-term rehabilitation and development that build pathways for recovery, and Christian discipleship that will eventually become self-sustaining.

Seeds of Freedom focuses on:

Establishing residential treatment and community-based recovery models
Moving beyond one-way giving toward mutually supportive partnerships
Addressing harmful relational patterns and the deeper spiritual needs that sustain poverty cycles
Confronting systemic barriers that contribute to ongoing exploitation and suffering

Through enduring relationships and collaborative leadership development, we aim to strengthen local capacity and promote human flourishing in the communities we serve.

Seeds of Freedom – Liberia, West Africa Mission

Seeds of Freedom partners with local communities in Gbarnga, Liberia, the nation’s fourth-largest population center, an area rich in potential yet affected by high unemployment and underdevelopment.

Key Challenges We Address

Lack of long-term funding and sustainable systems for recovery care

Severe poverty and chronic economic instability

Family breakdown and increased vulnerability among children

High levels of trauma exposure, exploitation, and long-term hardship

Limited access to mental health treatment and addiction rehabilitation

Our Mission Model in Liberia

Seeds of Freedom advances a sustainable agricultural development model that supports recovery and long-term stability by providing:

Faith-based mental health and addiction recovery support
Residential treatment and structured daily life
Room and board for individuals in recovery
Vocational training in farming and practical work skills
Support for community reintegration and long-term restoration

Through Foundation for Christian Counseling (FFCC) consultants and our Concepts of Truth International mission network, we collaborate with Liberian leaders to strengthen long-term capacity for trauma recovery and addiction treatment. This includes training and education that equips local teams to lead sustainable, community-based care. These efforts are centered on Christian mission, supporting both clinical excellence and spiritual formation.

Concepts of Truth: Sustainable Recovery Approach

In 2024, the Foundation for Christian Counseling (FFCC) launched an agricultural initiative to address Liberia’s multifaceted crisis holistically. The organization purchased 40 acres of farmland to support this project, which will serve as the foundation for a residential treatment center for individuals struggling with substance use issues.

This farm provides a dual benefit:

1. Rehabilitation and Recovery

Offering individuals a safe space to recover and rebuild their lives.

2. Vocational Training and Empowerment

Addressing unemployment by teaching vocational skills that enable individuals to contribute to their communities.

Liberia’s reliance on rice imports—valued at $124 million in 2022—drains the economy and perpetuates the cycle of poverty. As FFCC’s farm expands, it will enhance local food production, reduce dependence on imports, and empower the local church to play a leading role in the nation’s recovery.

By integrating mental health support, addiction recovery, and vocational training with sustainable agricultural practices, FFCC is creating a hopeful path forward for Liberia’s families and communities.
