Our Mission and Commitment

Strength, Hope, and Power in the Name of the Lord

At RF Ministries, we firmly believe that there is strength, hope, and power in the name of the Lord. Our purpose is rooted in sharing the love, power, and authority of Jesus Christ. We are dedicated to helping restore broken hearts, so that the living water and joy that come from His abundant love can overflow in our lives. All praise is given to Jesus, our Lord, Savior, and redeeming King.

Equipping for Spiritual Growth

We are committed to equipping individuals to grow spiritually. This growth happens through regular prayer, the reading of God’s Word, and spending quiet, intentional time with the Triune God. By nurturing these spiritual disciplines, we seek to deepen our relationship with God and strengthen our faith.

Making Disciples and Living Out Our Faith

Our goal is to make disciples as we strive to live lives that reflect Christ in every aspect of our being. It is our desire that others may see Christ in us because the Spirit lives within us. Through the Spirit’s presence, we are able to bless those around us, serve others with humility, and receive wisdom to navigate the challenges of life, especially in a world where the enemy’s attacks are ever increasing. 

Our leadership

Tim Morris Pastoral Ministry Leader

  • Tim Morris grew up along the Mississippi River in the farmlands of western Illinois; so country that even his ten speed was a John Deere. Today, Tim and his wife Julie are empty-nesters living in Scottsdale, Arizona as parents of a blended family; 3 sons, 2 daughters, and (so far) 2 grandchildren. Tim is active outdoors and somewhat of a wannabe endurance triathlete, mountaineer, and alpine climber.

    After service in the U.S. Marines, Tim has worked bi-vocationally — both managing production home construction and in Christian ministry. Often a teacher of biblical life, Tim has served in pastoral, worship leading, and volunteer roles in churches and parachurch ministries since the early 1980’s. He was licensed for ministry in 1987 and ordained in 1998 by Grace International Churches and Ministries. Similarly bi-vocational, he holds a degree in business management and a master’s degree in theology.

    In the late 1980’s, the Lord used Dalbey’s “Healing the Masculine Soul” to ignite in Tim a passion for the restoration of the hearts of Christian men. “Wild at Heart”, through boot camps and through Eldredge’s many other books, has continued to fuel the fire of leading men to encounter and know Jesus the Messiah for restoring their hearts and experiencing life transformation as apprentices to Jesus.

Sergio Oliden Founder & President

  • Sergio and his wife Dana live in Chandler, AZ and have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. They attend Crossroads Church of the Nazarene.

    Sergio was the founder and President of Ethos Engineering, LLC (Ethos) located in Tempe, Arizona. He started Ethos (Eternally Trusting Him Over Self) in 2012 as an act of obedience to the Father to leave his place of employment and go into ministry. Ethos, he thought, would be used to provide structural engineering services to supplement his wife’s income as he did ministry work.  Little did he know at that moment of faith that God would use him to share the Good News of the Gospel with the engineering community by simply demonstrating God’s love and character through his actions and beliefs.  Ethos humbly continues to serve the public with Servant Leadership, putting people first over profits, and unyielding integrity. Through this great adventure of starting and growing the business, Sergio depended in God’s leading and provision, and the business grew in a manner that he could only accredit to God’s blessings. Sergio puts all his trust in God and has an unshakable faith in Him; he believes all things are possible with God. Sergio sold the business and retired in 2023.

    Restoration and Freedom Ministries (RFM) started after much prayer and by the leading of the Holy Spirit in December 2021 after attending a Basic Training Camp in CA provided by For Freedom Outreach (FFO). That camp provided Sergio with the total healing and restoration from his father wounds, the embracing of a strong identity as a child of God, and the learning about the spiritual power and authority we all have in Christ Jesus.  FFO was instrumental in the early growth stages of RFM and provided its resources to make RFM a reality.  RFM’s goal is to bring the good news of healing, restoration, and freedom to the men of Arizona, including the Hispanic and the Native American communities. God, again, is demonstrating that He is faithful to fulfill His promises as he had previously done time and time again throughout Sergio’s life and with Ethos.

Charles Boles Administrative Leader, Marketing

  • ‍Charles is a native of Tempe who has spent more than 45 years serving men in the barbershop community. Throughout those years, he listened to countless stories of joy, hardship, faith, and the challenges men face while navigating life both with and without God. Those experiences inspired him to pursue higher education so he could offer sound, Godly guidance to others. Charles earned a B.A. in Communications and Human Resource Development, an M.Ed. in Counseling and Human Relations, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Professional Counseling.

    ‍ ‍

    As the youngest of five children in a blended “His, Hers, and Theirs” family, Charles faced unique challenges growing up. Although he was raised in the church, it was not until after serving overseas in the United States Army that he fully understood his need for God’s grace and direction in his life. During an extended mission trip to Brazil in 1989, Charles met his future wife, Renata, and they married in 1990. Through their relationship and marriage, God’s love became even more real and present in his life. Together they have two children: a married daughter, a son-in-law, and a son.

    In 2015, Charles founded the Loved, Accepted And Heard Foundation (LAAHF), built on the belief that every person was created in the image of God, who desires to be loved, accepted and heard by His creation. Today, you can often find Charles cutting hair for longtime friends, working out at the gym, serving in board meetings, or sitting in a local Starbucks surrounded by his eclectic group of friends while solving the world’s problems.

Brandon White IT & Graphics Designer Prayer Team Leader - English

  • I’m a husband, father of three amazing daughters, and a man deeply passionate about following Jesus and helping other men encounter the freedom and restoration only He can bring. I married my high school sweetheart, Shaena, and together we’ve built our lives around faith, family, and serving others. Some of my greatest joy comes from leading my family, building authentic relationships, and walking alongside people through real life struggles and victories. I also have the privilege of leading the prayer team here at Restoration and Freedom Ministries, which has been one of the most meaningful parts of my journey. When I’m not serving in ministry or spending time with family, I enjoy 3D printing, fishing, being outdoors, and pursuing creative projects and ideas.

    Through Restoration and Freedom Ministries, my mission is to reach the hearts of men and call them into deeper identity, healing, purpose, and brotherhood in Christ. I believe many men are searching for something more, including real freedom, real purpose, and real connection. Inspired by messages like Wild at Heart and Fathered by God, I’m passionate about creating spaces where men can drop the masks, encounter God in a powerful way, and step into the men they were created to be as husbands, fathers, leaders, and sons of God.

Jason Laidlaw Camp Executive Leader

  • I’m the Camp Executive Leader at Restoration and Freedom Ministries,
    where my passion is creating opportunities for men to encounter the
    Father, experience restoration, and walk in true freedom. I’ve been
    married to my wife Tracy for many years, and together we’ve been
    blessed with three children by birth, four more through foster care
    and adoption, and four amazing grandchildren who know me as “Papa J.”
    Whether I’m mentoring men, sharing life around a campfire, or
    exploring the outdoors through hiking and overlanding adventures with
    My Beautiful Mamacita, my heart is always drawn toward helping others
    discover deeper identity, healing, purpose, and fullness of life in
    Christ.

    My passion for restoration comes from my own story. Although I gave my
    life to Christ in 1991, for years I lived with a fear that no matter
    how faithfully I tried to follow Him, I would eventually fail and
    disappoint Him. Through "Basic" camps and the incredible brotherhood
    of men that I get to do life with, I have come to understand just how
    much my Father in heaven loves me.  I’m devoted to Restoration and
    Freedom Ministries, where I have the opportunity to help others find
    rest in the Father’s love and understand the freedom that comes from
    being His son. That transformation changed my life, and it’s why I
    believe every man needs the opportunity to have his heart restored and
    be called into the fullness of who God created him to be.

Morgan Kaiser Volunteers Team Leader

  • My name is Morgan Kaiser, and I am an Arizona native who grew up in a small town. For many years, my life was marked by struggles with substance abuse, pornography, and lust. In 2008, I had my first encounter with God, and through His grace and patience, He continued pursuing my heart for the next ten years until I was finally ready to fully surrender my life to Him.

    In 2018, I became a new man in Christ. God transformed my life in a powerful way, giving me freedom, purpose, and a renewed identity in Him. Today, I am blessed to be married to an amazing woman, and we have two children.

    I was introduced to “Restoration and Freedom Ministries” at the very first camp in Arizona, and I have not missed one since. This ministry and the brotherhood of men within it have had a profound impact on my life, helping shape me into a better man, husband, father, and son of God. I am grateful for every opportunity to serve, encourage others, and share the hope and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Robert Ginn Camp Elder

  • I have been married to Linda since January 1986, and we have two sons, Robert and Peter and a daughter in law Megan and three beautiful granddaughters, April, Mabel and Rose. I live in a small village called Doagh, 22 miles from Belfast the capital city of Northern Ireland. I was not brought up in a Christian home, however, I had a few Christian friends who told me about Jesus and how He died on a cross for me. That had an immense impact on me.  On the 22nd August 1996 I surrendered my life to Jesus and He became my Lord and Saviour.

    I qualified as a Registered Nurse in 1985, practicing in a variety of specialties. In 2010 I was accepted as a Minister in Training in the Elim Pentecostal Movement. I was ordained as an Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance Minister in April 2014. At present I am the Senior Pastor of Maghera Elim Pentecostal Church in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. I am also a Trustee with ‘The Stauros Foundation’ a ministry that ministers to people who suffer from addictions. God has given me a deep passion for hurting men and women, but especially men who’s lives are broken due to sin and the consequences of poor, wrong chooses which all men can and do make. Through the ministry of Restoration and Freedom Ministries I believe God is and will continue to help men live in Restoration and Freedom through Christ. I feel very privileged and honoured to be part of the leadership of this God ordained ministry.

Pastor Andres Marrufo Worship Leader - English

  • ‍ ‍Even with all I've been through, as I look back on the chaos of my childhood, marked by sexual abuse, alcoholism, drug addiction, and physical and psychological abuse within my family—I realize that my source of comfort has always been God. He has been there right beside me the whole time. I thank God for my grandmother, who has been a steadfast prayer warrior in my life. I always felt reassured knowing that if something weighed on my heart, she was fervently lifting me in prayer. I am forever grateful for her unwavering devotion - knowing she was praying hard if something was wrong, and “God came a-knocking.” I thank God for praying grandmothers.

    Last year, I experienced what felt like my own 40 days in the wilderness. During that time, I faced multiple challenges, leaving me feeling very vulnerable. I did not realize until now just how hard that time was for me. Trying to breathe through the challenges of the addiction process has been a difficult journey. On top of that, my stepdad passed away, and the roller coaster of emotions for my mother and our family was intense. More than anything, in the midst of brokenness and chaos, all I wanted was freedom. 

    When I was at the end of my rope, I just had to believe God was present. He always goes before us, carving out paths. Even in the darkest moments, we can feel Him near us. I know He speaks to me, and I have learned to listen. He gave me a life verse, Philippians 4:6. It's incredible how that scripture has come back over and over again in my life. Now, as I work through my recovery steps, it comes back again and again.

    All of Philippians 4:6 is significant, but I gain the most comfort from “Do not be anxious, but with a prayer of thanksgiving, present your request to God.” That part of the verse is so profound in my life. God used this scripture to take me to a place of thankfulness.
