About Us
Freedom Fellowship Recovery Ministries Manitoba Inc. operates Total Freedom Manitoba, a private, faith-based residential alternative addictions facility. We are committed to helping men 18 and older break free from life-controlling problems and behaviors by restoring balance to spirit, mind, and body within a supportive, family-like environment.
Spirit-Filled Foundation We are a Spirit-filled ministry grounded in biblical truth. We actively practice and teach laying on of hands, praying in the Holy Spirit, inner healing, deliverance, and active praise and worship—equipping men to walk in complete spiritual freedom and train others to do the same.
Peaceful 80-Acre Campus Located in Sidney, MB (approximately 150 km west of Winnipeg), our facility sits on 80 beautiful acres of natural bushland, green space, ponds, and gardens—a former golf course transformed into a quiet sanctuary for reflection, peace, and personal healing.
Program Structure & Schedule (9-Month Residential Phase) Progression through the 9-month residential program is based on personal spiritual growth and successful completion of each training level:
-
Morning Classes (Ministry School): During the initial months, residents complete an intensive school of the Spirit featuring daily quizzes, a final exam, deep inner healing for past trauma, and personal deliverance sessions. (Applicants must read and write English well and be willing to teach what they learn.)
-
Afternoon Practical Work: Residents develop character, routine, and accountability through hands-on campus work, including housekeeping, kitchen support, farming and gardening, yard maintenance, construction, and income-generating ministry projects.
-
Evening Gatherings: Every night, the community comes together for mandatory group sessions, Bible study, and worship.

Rick McMillin
Pastor | Board Member
Robin McMillin
Administrative Director | Board Advisor
Rick and Robin McMillin serve as the Pastors and Program Directors of Total Freedom Manitoba. Their journey with Total Freedom began in 2008 during a season marked by depression, mental health challenges, addiction, and a marriage on the brink of divorce. Through God’s intervention and healing, their marriage was restored, and their lives were transformed.
Following this restoration, Rick and Robin spent nine years serving at Total Freedom Florida. After the heartbreaking loss of their son, God continued to lead them through a season of deep healing and renewal at Total Freedom New York, where they had the opportunity to learn, grow, and serve for an additional year.
In 2021, God opened the door for Rick and Robin to plant Total Freedom Manitoba. In 2026, they celebrate five years of ministry, witnessing lives transformed through the power of Christ. They are passionate about walking alongside men as they discover freedom, healing, and purpose, and as they step into the gifts, talents, and calling God has placed on their lives.
