About

Wellsprings of Freedom International

Officially founded in 2010 as a 501(c)3 non-profit ministry of inner healing and spiritual warfare, Wellsprings of Freedom International (WFI) exists to “offer healing to a broken world.”  What began as a ministry inside Heritage Church in Rock Island, Illinois, WFI now consists of a network of teams spanning the globe.  The Wellsprings Network is officially trained, equipped, and coached teams, all covenanted together to do the same model of ministry in the same gentle authority of Christ.

“A global movement of inner healing and spiritual warfare ministry committed to helping you find freedom in Christ Jesus.“
