The Pastor's Vision Image
Hello...  I'm Rev. Marie A. Tombow answering the call of God when He told me I had a story to tell, and He wanted me to tell it His way!  So here I am ready to serve as He makes me able.  
 
1 Timothy 1:12-17:  I echo the apostle, Paul ...
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that He considered me trustworthy, appointing me to His service.  Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent [one], I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance:  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. 
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life.
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.  Amen. 
 
 Rev. Marie Tombow's Freedom in Action Ministry is based on her personal journey as she walked hand in hand with her Heavenly Father for over 45 years. Their journey through the Scriptures forms the base for this work.  God's call to her is to allow Him to heal
broken people through her willing obedience... Her desire is to share this God-given love and soul-deep peace with those who feel trapped and don't know how to get free.  Also, the ministry wishes to help those who have family members and friends caught in their lifestyles address their own areas of care and concern, thus including them in the healing process.  
 
Just like He did with Rev. Marie, God loves us just as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way...
 
“Neither do I condemn you!”
 
These words, spoken in love by our Savior, come from John 8:1-11, the Scripture that forms the backbone and the base for the ministry – Freedom In Action:  A Journey of Discovering … Love.
 
Freedom in Action was born out of a need to share with others that there is a way out of the homosexual lifestyle for those who want to leave it.  This is based on the successful Journey of Discovering, which began on March 15, 1975.  This ministry wishes to help enable complete freedom in discovering and accepting who we really are as God created us to be.
 
In recent years, the Lord has expanded this ministry to include any lifestyle that
causes one to be trapped by it with no way out.

On March 15, 1975, Marie heard her name being called and she met the Master face-to-face.  She heard Him tell her, You have a story to tell, and I want you to tell it My way!!”  Without hesitation she answered that call and began the most exciting journey of her life, starting with attending and graduating Nazarene Bible College four years later.  
 
While in college, Marie’s ministry, “Freedom in Action” was birthed and is alive and
well today.  As a former Country music entertainer, the ordained evangelist now does Country, Bluegrass, and Southern Gospel concerts as well as being His witness wherever God chooses to send her.
 
As a veteran, Marie served as a Chaplain in the American Legion at the local post, district and state levels for 10 years.  During that time, she went on missionary trips to Guatemala and
Peru.  Presently she is ministering to the homeless and the sick mainly in the Las Vegas area.
Wherever God sends her, Marie’s heart’s desire is to be used of God to heal the broken
people, since she has known the power of His healing touch when He took her out of a wheelchair (due to an industrial accident) after 9 years; she is also a breast cancer survivor.  Oh, yeah, let’s not forget He freed her from lesbianism and alcoholism!  Her testimony is up to date!!
