Let's Go Ministry >> History

Founder of Let's Go Ministry, Jed Lindstrom struggled for over 10 years (1993-2004) with pharmaceutical drugs, depression, rebellion, anger & hatred, lying, stealing, drug addiction, sexual promiscuity, pornography, crime and the street life where anything goes. In 2004 Jed battled for his life as he sat in a jail cell contemplating what to do with his life. Jed says, “I was homicidal and suicidal, broken and nowhere to go. I had no love left in my heart & my life was shattered and hopeless; I didn’t want to live anymore!”

From 2005-present Jed worked with many teams of people in some of the most impoverished, broken, gang-ridden & drug addicted communities in America. From 2005-2010. He was under the authority and covering of MN Teen Challenge Ministry School & Ripe For Harvest World Missions. It was in these places where he learned the culture of US MIssions and what it was like to live for God in the real world. Let's Go Ministry was impressed on Jed’s heart in 2005 initially, but he had much training to undertake before God would let him plant the ministry

It was in December of 2010 where Let's Go Ministry began to make progress toward planting the ministry in its present location Daytona Beach FL. Jed was licensed and ordained through Family Worship Center of Port Orange, FL in August 2011. With the help of a great local church, ministry board and team of advisors God is using this ministry in a powerful way, and the best is yet to come as the vision expands and others come along to help.

Jed was diverted from a 33 month prison sentenced and instead sentenced to a long term 12 month treatment stay at Minnesota Teen Challenge where his life was forever changed and where Jesus Christ revealed how much He loved him. It was at that place that his walk with Jesus began.

Following graduation of MN Teen Challenge drug rehab, God gave Jed the vision of Let's Go Ministry. It was birthed in June of 2005 while Jed was set on fire for US Missions. It was impressed on his heart that he would minister to the “old him”. At that point Jed began to share his story of how Jesus brought him freedom and eternal life, healing and deliverance, love and hope for a whole new way of living.
