My experience with freedom encounters is terrible too, I am also willing to bless anyone who prays that Ken and Sylvia Thornberg to go to hell eternity. Also the people who tried helping me but a failure especially they just wanted money... their names is Karen and Ralph Findling... The more you pray for these people to go to hell they more god's blessing pour into you! Thanks

This isn't a bad ministry but neither does it do what it says. I would side more with the negative reviewers. I was not scammed but the aftercare sessions were very harmful. Only recently have I been set free.

Tje only reason I give it 3 stars and not 1 is the first session helped.

Stupid people
August 8, 2020

Stupid ministry that attributed acts of Satan to God. I once had a demonic activity in my life and Peggy said that God did it and not demons. I forgot how to speak French and when I told her i knew clearly it was demonic, Peggy said in a tone of glee "Do you think it was GOD who had you forget tje French?" So her lazy $#*! wouldn't have to do any more work.

Stay far away!

Controlling people
July 20, 2020

This ministry is deceptive. They lure you in and then control you. One of the ministers said my interests were "unhealthy." If you want to be controlled and abused then go; otherwise, don't.

These people are scamming many Christians and taking lots of money for evil gains. They were in Sturgis at the rally 2021 deceiving many taking money for a ministry called Treasured Lives but are undercover satanic worshipers taking the money for themselves and their rituals. They told me as a young man I was raped and didn't realize it till now. They don't care once they damage you and they blame everything on a demon and the team in South Dakota is the worst ever. In fact my friend from South Dakota was at the rally and he seen them at a coven meeting after their fundraiser. The main leaders are true witches and the men wickens. They were at the Sturgis rally holding a cult meeting in the early morning hours and my friends happened to come and see that these were the Treasured Lives leaders Kelly Patterson and others and wondered what in the world they doing. He and several others had just given to their fundraiser and recognized them. He couldn't believe they were all at a meeting with many Satanists in the black hills sacrificing children. Thank God they had their bikes and were able to escape as they were running after them with guns n knives. They wanted to sacrifice them for catching them. They must be stopped.

They are liars. One of the member from the ministry messaged me something 3 years ago and still nothing. Everything they said are not true so I hope that everyone don't believe them too. Even if it's true what they say future wise... it will be too late because I won't even bother. I really hope someone out there is very smart and pray for them to go to hell. They really deserve hell for making me suffer like this, giving false hope and pain. They even cause trouble into my family life. First time seeing them they came to my home they threw a lot of my stuff away and steal diamond earrings with total worth 20 thousand dollars. Thieves I tell you. They even try going to my wallet to take money and pray demonic curses. I'm very blessed that a pastor came right in time to kick them out along with family members that called the police. Basically 4 members from freedom encounters went to jail because of what happened. They all told the police that didn't do wrong, they said they are hearing voices and seeing figures telling them to do what they do. One of the man even said "too late for her" because basically I will keep feeling the stuff they did to me. Right now basically feeling like hell... please don't make the same mistake as me going to them. They basically will scam your money and make your life like hell for the rest of your life. Please stay away from them and don't believe the lies people are saying that they are good. They just want to make you suffer hell like them or even me.

Very terrible with freedom encounter. Ever since going to them few days later i got very high "spiritual attacks". I was pretty normal and then suddenly almost everything the wrote on the site was like... me? Are you serious? I was fearful to death on how they will be able to undo everything they have started since the first day of praying those prayers towards me. Then it becomes like addiction asking for them to undo (which they wouldn't undo the prayers) i was desperate to get out of this program. Thanks to them 8+ months torment, crying etc(from this deliverance) never in my whole entire life had suffered such thing. If need help run away from freedom encounters. It is very damaging (teachings, etc) you also have to pay for subscription to watch the videos which is very long, seriously not worth the time and money for this. All you get in return is torment, way worst than how you are probably feeling. Terrible, period. (he goes by the name ken thornberg and a women who helped me was named karen... very terrible)

I use to struggle with fear, rejection and beliefs that I wasn't worthy and that people didn't like me! After going through FREEDOM ENCOUNTERS all the "fear" is gone! I can build REAL relationships with people. My business is doing better. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THIS AMAZING MINISTRY

Hello beautiful people. There was a woman named Karen Findling, she is part of a so-called "prayer ministry" called freedom encounters. I really don't know what she did but it tormented my son so badly that he couldn't sleep. My son also couldn't eat like he used to ever since seeing her and the ministry... it was like a curse... Everything flipped upside down in our lives, from our business... to just everything. I really hope from the bottom of my heart that people would stay away from them far as possible. They are so cruel that it is way worst than someone in their death bed waiting to pass away. I hope that those reading this could pray for their ministry to close down. It is very true of what I've been hearing from others that freedom encounters just want the money, and if someone were to ask politely for money back... they would send a threatening messages to make sure that they (whoever wants the refund) to be cursed. Everything they do is not worth anyone's time or for them to scam money out of your pocket.

The woman Karen had a past where she raped and drugged vulnerable men since she wants them to do what she says. (Forcing them to have sex with her for profit, and also brainwashing them to HAVE to know God) Then she literally runs away pretending nothing happens, and keeps doing it (same goes to the women Silvia Thornberg I hope that those who are merciful to those that had been a victim... Those who are Christians... please pray that they (the people from the ministry, Karen, Silvia, Ken, etc will go to hell. May you be blessed very greatly once you've prayed. Thank you god blessed!

Stay away. They are sooo terrible at what they do. Already 4 years past, suffering way more than it was supposed to. My deep regret is not telling others to stay away.

I had the great privilege to receive personal ministry from Ken Thornberg. This is the guy behind Freedom Encounters. In the result, I earned some very powerful changes in my life. First my language which was very poor at that time changed instantly to my own astonishment! It became peaceful and positively oriented. I also received some very deep transformations within my soul through inner healing. I don't know what exactly and how this all began to happen, but the impact was absolutely positive. Where hate, loneliness and emptiness filled my soul before, now peace, joy and such an inner peace came into my inner being. It is so beautiful and this is an absolutely life-changing experience for me! I can also witness first hand very positive results and outcomes which began to surface in the life of other persons, who received prayer from the Thornbergs. I personally saw it more than once and can personally witness this statement. All in all, it was such a positive impact, that I can really recommend receiving powerful prayer from this couple. They are very gifted and talented and have such an immense treasure of experience. But the best of it, I got it all for free! They never asked for money. They said, "We received it from the Lord for free, and we transfer what we got freely to you also!". Yes, they are open for donations, but they've never asked me to give something in return. For professional counseling, you will have you pay for what is done to you, but they gave it for free and the Lord Jesus Christ blessed it. I am also very touched by the way I received their prayer. It was so inspired by the Holy Spirit who guided this blessed men who prayed for me. It was so full of inner strength, wisdom and sympathy, it really touched my hearth and my innermost being. Furthermore, it was a privilege and an outstanding experience for me. If you can, you should try it. It had a tremendous positive impact in my life. Dirk from Germany

After being introduced to Freedom Encounters my wife of 20 years went through their "Deliverance" process and then left me and our young children. When we asked her to come home, all she kept repeating is "I dont want to be around people who believe lies about me." When we'd ask what lies, she would say "You believe lies, the truth is in the Bible." over and over we went through this with her for four months.

When I told her our youngest was crying out for her throughout the day, and in his sleep even having nightmares and wetting the bed. All she would say is our child was going through that because he is "believing lies about her."

After the fourth month of not knowing where she was, she just came back home like nothing happened. We thought everything was back to normal at first, but then it started happening again. Anytime she would hear anything she disagreed with, she would say "its lies" or "you are lying" or "you believe lies."

She now says everything is a lie or demonic, literally everything. Tattoos, demonic. Video games, Demonic, A joke is a lie. TV is a lie and demonic. Radio is a lie. Thoughts are a lie. The past is a lie. The future is a lie. She literally says everything is a lie. When we would try to ask what she is talking about, all she would say is we "dont know the truth and the Truth is in the Bible." over and over again.

All open and honest communication in our marriage is gone. My wife is no longer the same person she use to be. It is almost as if she is possessed. When we saw our local church pastor, she even argued with him and was told not to come back to the church and to just work on our marriage.

The churched warned that she would be spreading false truths and teachings and causing division, nashing of teeth and back biting within the church and sure in enough it started to happen.

On this organizations website they explain what they call "lie based thinking" and removing "generational curses christians have." But in reality, what they do is destroy lives.

This organization should be AVOIDED at all cost! STAY AWAY!

This ministry is a satanic cult pretending to be a Christian ministry. They put SATANIC CURSES on people to torment and oppress them. They steal their gifts/annointings.

They lure wounded Christians in and then they once you're in their trap, and they 'pray' for you, they send demons and curses to you. THEY'RE OCCULTISTS. Please leave their cult and turn straight to Christ.
