Through the years, their conservative religious views began to give way to the works of the Spirit as they began to see miraculous events take place in their lives.  In 2018, Kristy was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer.  She was only given a fifteen percent chance of survival as the cancer had spread outside of her bladder and into her lymph nodes.  Six months later, after chemotherapy, Kristy went through reconstructive surgery to repair the damage from the baseball sized tumor they originally found in her bladder.  During reconstructive surgery, they also removed thirty-six lymph nodes for testing.  The residual bladder material and the lymph nodes were sent to pathology to gauge how far the cancer had spread.  Previous scans a few weeks before had shown the cancer was in the lymph nodes and was spreading throughout her body.  When the report came back, the doctors were shocked.  There was no cancer found anywhere.  It was gone.  She is a living miracle and remains cancer free to this day as a testimony to the healing power of our Savior.

In 2020, God led Frank and Kristy down a crazy and unexpected pathway into the deliverance ministry.  Their adult daughter began opening doors to ungodly oppression in her life.  One night she came to their house displaying strange and weird behaviors like they had never seen.  At first, they thought that it may have been drug abuse, but it was not.  It was demonic oppression.  Having a teenage son, they would not allow their daughter to move back into their home.  She went to live with other family members who began trying to help by playing praise music and reading scripture over her.  They even brought in a pastor to pray over her.  None of this worked, in fact it only made things much worse.  Kristy and Frank wanted desperately to help their daughter but did not know what to do.  They began calling local churches in the Hampton Roads area and soon realized that from Baptist to Pentecostal, no one was equipped to help. Some churches believed in breaking demonic oppression but did not know the process.  Other churches would say that Christians cannot suffer from demonic oppression, or they would advise them to read scripture and pray.  None of this worked and things were becoming dramatically worse.

After an exhausting week of fighting, the family members with whom she was staying began considering treatment in a mental health facility.  Kristy and Frank were praying fervently that God would show them how to break the attack on their daughter before this happened.  Around a week after everything began, Frank was driving and pleading with God to show him how to help his daughter.  In the middle of this, he randomly You Tubed, “How to cast out a demon.”  The term deliverance popped up.  He had never heard this term, but it described their situation and explained how to help set a person free of oppression with the power of Christ.  Soon he was watching video after video.  It described how oppression can afflict a Christian because of generational curses, unforgiveness, ungodly beliefs, and ungodly relationships.  The videos explained how to break these and make the demonic oppression leave.  It was the Friday night before Halloween.  When Kristy came home that evening, he showed her the videos.  They both began to pray and agreed that if their daughter called and asked for help, they would go and try to break the oppression.  An hour later, their daughter called her dad and said, “Dad, please come help me.”  They packed up and left for the Outer Banks where their daughter was staying.

They arrived at the house around 8:00pm.  Their daughter was in bad shape.  Crying, laughing, twitching, and showing the manifestations of oppression.  They sat with her and helped break any “legal rights” that the enemy may use to oppress.  Frank then looked at her and said, “I want to talk to anxiety.”  Her face twisted and “anxiety” said, “what do you want?”  They were shocked.  The things they had watched in the videos worked.  He commanded anxiety to leave in the name of Jesus and then commanded depression to come up.  The same thing happened, and depression was cast out.  This continued until 4am Halloween morning.  Anxiety, depression, suicide, rage, bitterness, etc.: one after another all night.  It was ugly, unorganized, and crazy, but it was led by the Spirit.  They did not get everything that evening, but it was a start, and it was miraculous.

Their daughter moved back home, and it took weeks of deliverance before their daughter was completely free.  Through this process, Kristy and Frank found that they both were suffering from oppression as well.  It was not life altering like their daughter’s oppression, but it was there.  It was tied to unforgiveness associated with previous ministries and generational curses like freemasonry.  They began reading and studying all the information they could find on the subject and began breaking oppression off each other, and then other family members.  This soon led to deliverance sessions with friends.  It was clumsy and difficult, but it was happening.

As God allowed them to grow in the technical aspects of deliverance, they began to see the power of God setting people free and changing lives.  Luke 10:19 became very real as they saw people released of lifelong depression, anxiety, suicide, and rejection.  Crazy things were being broken off like ADD, OCD, and PTSD.  They had people brought to them straight from mental health facilities diagnosed with multiple personality disorders.  It was usually just demonic oppression, and it was easily broken.  They saw people healed of lifelong allergies and infirmaries.  People were being set free of severe back problems from unforgiveness.  Bowel problems and heart disease were being cured through deliverance.  Cardiologist and gastrointestinal doctors would find that the infirmaries had miraculously disappeared.  They saw scoliosis cured and ovarian cyst drain out the instant the demonic attachment was broken.  What was at first crazy and mind-blowing has now become normal and expected.  The actual deliverance sessions that used to take many hours have now been cut down to less than an hour.  It is not uncommon for them to work with eight to ten people a week.  Many will be full deliverance session and others may just need help walking in deliverance after their initial session.  Along with doing deliverance sessions, they are now training individuals and setting up deliverance teams so that Finding Freedom Ministries can keep up with the overwhelming demand.  Frank and Kristy have both been ordained into the ministry.  They are currently writing a training manual and helping local churches set up deliverance ministries.  They have found the methods used by Derek Prince, Frank Hammond, and Don Dickerman to be the most effective in the actual deliverance process while other authors such as Randy Clark, Neil Anderson, and Chester Kylstra are more thorough with breaking curses and inner healing.  They have also used many internet resources from Isaiah Saldivar, Greg Loche, John Ramirez, John Eckhardt, Jenny Weaver, Vlad Savchuck, Alexander Paganni, and many others.  Their Spirit led vision is to see networks of local churches nationally and globally being trained in deliverance and inner healing and deliverance ministries being birthed in ministries around the world.  Mark 16:17 tells us that the first sign of a new believer is that they will drive out demons.  The enemy has buried this from our churches, but it will be resurrected.
