How We Started

By John Hemans (founder of Unchained Ministries) ….

Unchained Ministries is a Christian ministry organisation releasing the saving, delivering, healing and restoring power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Founded in 2003, we are based in Sydney, Australia. We seek to impact the world by going out to where those in need of the gospel are – on the streets, in the parks, and in the prisons.

We seek to serve the Body of Christ by equipping believers with the Word of God, writing, recording and leading anointed worship music, and ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit – in church services, conferences and by providing ministry resources from our web site.

Some background…

God called me as an evangelist just a few weeks after I gave my life to Jesus Christ in 1996.

I started serving in worship teams a few months later, and began giving my testimony and performing outreach concerts in prisons in 1997 here in Australia.

In 2003 I began to feel a burning desire to take the gospel to areas of our community that the church doesn’t always reach, and founded Church in the Park that year, in the process founding Unchained Ministries.

Unchained Ministries is run by myself and my wife Kerry, with a Board of Directors providing oversight – click here for our organisational details.
Our main ministries are Church in the Park (a non-denominational Christian fellowship and outreach ministry staging Christian church services in suburban parks), Prison Ministry (chapel services and
prison outreach concerts), Worship music CD’s, and the preaching of the Word of God.

My personal testimony is one of powerful deliverance from addiction and a life broken by sin.
