Ransom Ministries

Ransom Ministries, Inc. was founded by Matt and Tara Armbruster in October of 2010. In January of that year, they attended a Bible study at their church entitled, “If you want to walk on water, then you’ve got to get out of the boat!” The study urged Christians to stop playing church and start living a life of true faith and total dependence on God. 

The Armbrusters prayed and sought what God wanted them to do. They asked Him to show them His specific purpose and they opened the first Ransom Café at the Hangar of West Mobile Baptist Church. Seven years later, there are Ransom Café locations in different areas of our community hosted by churches of various denominations that serve an average of 550 meals each week. Since that time, God has expanded Ransom Ministries to include additional projects to include: The Clean Machine, Mission Teams and Ransom Reprogram.
