Building Bridges of Hope
Encourage Freedom Life is a purpose driven ministry rooted in faith and a calling to serve.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to support military families by uplifting the women who serve beside our veterans every day.
While active duty members and veterans carry the weight of service, their spouses—especially women—often carry the unseen responsibilities at home. From deployments and reintegration to financial strain and emotional uncertainty, military spouses hold families together through seasons of challenge and change.
Through faith led compassion, practical resources, and community support, we work to strengthen women, stabilize families, and restore hope. By walking alongside military spouses and their children, we help build bridges of hope that lead to resilience, dignity, and a stronger future for those shaped by service.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
Our Story
Founded by Evelyn Ghernaiz, a military spouse and mother of two, Encourage Freedom Life was born from lived experience and a deep understanding of the challenges military families face. Based in the Atlanta, Georgia area, our mission is carried out through compassion, community, and faith-led action. Evelyn is passionate about providing service and genuine support for women and children of the military.
Through ministry and mission-focused work, we provide hope, encouragement, resources, and practical support to active military and veteran families navigating transitions, hardship, or uncertainty. We believe service is more than an action. It is a responsibility. Every military family deserves to be seen, supported, and reminded that they are never alone.

Our Mission
Our mission is to honor and support veterans by strengthening the families who stand beside them. We believe that service impacts not only the individual who wears the uniform, but also the spouses and children who share in that sacrifice.
Through compassion-driven initiatives, community support, and meaningful resources, we work to provide stability, hope, and opportunity for veterans and their families. By investing in families during times of need, we help create stronger foundations and brighter futures for those who have given so much in service to others.
Our work is guided by faith, integrity, and love as we seek to honor God while restoring hope, strength, and stability to those who have served our nation.
Our Vision
A future where every military and veteran family feels supported, honored, and empowered, never forgotten and never alone, especially their children.
