ABOUT SAFEHAVEN FREEDOM MINISTRIES
Safehaven Freedom Ministries exists to deliver recognition, resources and recovery by mentoring teens, young adults and veterans who want their freedom and faith restored. We believe that everyone is recovering whether that be from addictions, forgiveness, pain, trauma, PTSD, and more. We are here to help facilitate that recovery by offering guidance, resources, connections, and more.
RECOGNITION
SafeHaven believes in recognition in two forms. The first is bringing recognition to the world that people suffer from trials of all sorts, and each one is valid and should be honored. The second is that we ourselves must recognize our own trials, no matter how big or small they may seem, and then be willing to work towards changing the things that have a negative impact on our lives.
RESOURCES
SafeHaven is here to help provide or find you the resources needed to facilitate your recovery with the highest level of success. Resources vary greatly to include: coaching, community outreach, inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, harm reduction plans and kits, Narcan, financial budgeting and planning, counseling, peer group discussions, and many others.
RECOVERY
SafeHaven believes that recovery looks different for each person, and has many different stages. No one but the person in recovery has the right or the ability to judge ones recovery, and we operate under the premise that "you are in recovery when you say you are." Our mission is to walk alongside you, and help you reach the greatest level of success in your recovery journey.
THE DISINGERS
Garrett & Ada Disinger have been working in ministry since 2010. They are nationwide missionaries who are used to equip the community and church to go out and share the gospel. They have 3 sons, Zaine, Lake and Asher. Garrett and Ada lost their middle son, Lake, tragically on October 30, 2021 to fentanyl poisoning. Following Lake's death, Ada and Garrett were called to start a teen recovery ministry, “For lake’s Sake,” bringing fentanyl and other drug awareness to the community through rallies, outreach, media, and cooperation with other organizations. Garrett & Ada have worked with Time to Revive, Discipleship and Equipping Ministry, Mining the Truth, Freedom Ministry, Inspiration Ministries, and Recovery Ministry.

Together, they have done church planting, helped churches and par-church organizations develop organizational structure. Garrett and Ada have received training through the Faith Biblical Counseling Training Conference and are receiving certifications in Peer Recovery Coaching with Mental Health America of Indiana; CRAFT Community Reinforcement and Family Training with Overdose Lifeline, and Ada will receive her certification with, 'This Is Not About Drugs' (TINAD) youth program as a facilitator and trainer so she can go into schools with an educational program addressing the opioid health crisis.

MEET THE DISINGERS
we lost our middle son, Lake in October, 2021. As we are still and will always be walking out this new grief journey, we are so proud to share who he was and his testimony. Sharing him allows his light to bring those lost into freedom and we know we will continue to watch his story save lives. With the help of Lake’s testimony, we are seeing lives changed right before us. We created SafeHaven Freedom Ministries in honor of Lake with a mission to reach our communities right in front of us with recognition, recovery, and resources.
