Ransom Ministries was founded in 2010 by Matt and Tara Armbruster after they attended a Bible study urging Christians to stop playing church and start living a life of true faith and dependence on God.​The Armbrusters asked God to show them how they could use the gifts He had given them to bring glory to Him. God gave Matt the idea of a café where anyone could get a hot meal and pay whatever they could afford and Tara the word “ransom” with the scripture Matthew 20:28. When they began to dissect this verse, they discovered the Greek word that is translated “to serve” actually means “one that waits on tables,” and “ransom” meant “to liberate many from misery.” They opened the first Ransom Café in October of 2010 at the Hangar of West Mobile Baptist Church.​Since then, Ransom Ministries has planted several more Ransom Café locations, some of which have changed their names and all of them have taken on their own responsibilities of operating their café. This has allowed Ransom to focus more on Ransom ReProgram, a job readiness and life skills training course that helps participants move out of dependency and into fulfilling careers that Ransom first offered in the fall of 2015. In addition, they also provide on-the-job training through Ransom Recycle, an electronics recycling business. Participants take old, broken, outdated, end of life electronics apart to harvest the things that are of value in them. In addition to the opportunity Ransom Recycle creates for ReProgram students and graduates, it also generates self-sustaining income for Ransom Ministries to be able to accomplish our mission to empower people to overcome spiritual, relational and material poverty through knowing Jesus and utilizing their God-given gifts and talents in their work.Get more info at https://www.ransomministries.com/Do you receive our FREE weekly list of top events happening in the Mobile Bay area?  If not, get it here:  https://themobilerundown.com/getitWant to become a partner/supporter/hero of the Rundown?https://themobilerundown.com/heroYou can also snag the list of events weekly via text message by texting 'Rundown' to 33222Now get out there and #doMobile!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/themobilerundown)

Today its large electronics recycling. Matt is a force for good in this community. He's an uplifting man of character. And we could all would benefit by hearing his story and the stories of some of his rehabilitated clients.
