A Ministry is Born

My name is Terri Parzybok, and I am a woman who dearly loves the Lord and His people! I am married to a wonderful man, Craig Parzybok, and I am the mother of two incredible sons who are both married to very amazing women. I am most blessed! And I praise God for His blessings upon my life and my family!
I grew up in Golden Colorado in a very large family of 9 children. My parents were incredibly patient and filled with God’s love for each of us. Attending the Catholic Church was a very important part of my upbringing. I am so very grateful for the “footprints” that my parents left upon my life because of their love and devotion to the Lord through their faith. So, from a very early age, I had a love for God and a burning desire to know Him more. Although, like anyone, I had my share of sickness, pain, fears, and bondage in my life… what I didn’t have was the answers of how to overcome them.
As a child, I always had a heart to help those who were hurting, sick, broken, or alone. Not really knowing how to help, I offered ears to listen, hugs to hold them and my sympathy. Although comforting, that never seemed to be enough. Deep inside of me, I knew there had to be so much more for them. So I wondered to myself, “Could our God, who is the Giver of all good gifts somehow help these people? Does He heal today?”
In 1998, at 42 years of age, while listening to a radio program about a woman who had been healed by God of terminal cancer, I pulled off the side of the road and just wept, and wept and wept. As I continued to listen to her story about her new-found joy, healing and freedom through Jesus Christ, the emotions went straight to my heart! I sobbed, laughed and rejoiced in the fact that God had healed her and still heals today!
For most of my life, my belief was that God had sent His beloved Son, Jesus Christ to die for my sins and offer me complete forgiveness and eternal salvation. I never knew that on that day, Jesus also made provision for me to be healed completely…spiritually, emotionally and physically! And not just for me, or that woman whose testimony that I heard, but also for anyone who would believe in Him!
From that day forward, my life would never be the same! My journey began as I spent the next 9 years praying, studying and listening to God’s wonderful, life-giving, healing Word and learning about everything that Jesus accomplished for all of us at the Cross!
In 2005, I attended Whole Life Ministries in Augusta GA. Whole Life is a Word-based ministry founded and Pastored by Dr. Sandra Kennedy. That trip was the beginning of the true call on my life. During my visit there, God gave me a vision to establish a Christ-centered, healing and equipping ministry here in Colorado. This ministry would bring the truth of God’s healing Word, His love, and His power into the lives of people who are hurting, broken and downcast in the community, city and ultimately, the world. Thus, Living Free Ministry’s mission statement was created…“To know, experience, and share the truth, heart, and healing touch of Jesus Christ to the world.” The vision also included the ministry operating in a residential home, and would include a team of trained volunteers from many different Christian denominations.
In 2008, the vision became a reality, and Living Free Ministries was born! Many people that the Lord had already brought into my life became our first volunteer team. They were from different Christian denominations, dedicated and willing to serve and be trained up to bring the truth of Jesus Christ as Healer and Deliverer into the lives of so many hurting people in our community and city. Soon afterwards, the Lord miraculously provided a home for the ministry in Golden Colorado which we named “Bethel” meaning ‘God’s House’ in Hebrew.
The foundational scripture that the Lord gave to me at that time is John 8:31-32…“Jesus said to those who believed in Him, “If you continue in My Word and hold fast to My teachings, then you will be My disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.”
All praise be to our Lord, Jesus Christ, who has healed, delivered and brought victory to so many people since the inception of Living Free Ministries!! The testimonies seem endless! You can read some of them posted on this website and many of the stories are written in our newsletters. Please let us know if you would like to be on our mailing list and receive our quarterly newsletters.
Remember, what Jesus has done for them He also offers to you. His healing and freedom is offered to all who will believe in Him and receive from Him.
We invite you to come to Bethel, Home of Living Free Ministries
Come to the well and drink…hear and receive the truth of His Word…
and experience His incredible love that will heal and restore you, and make you live free!!
With great love, joy and expectation,
Terri & Craig
