The Legacy of Freedom Life Fellowship:
A Story of Faith, Family, and a New Chapter

In the vibrant city of Perth, Western Australia, a church once quietly stirred hearts and reshaped lives — Freedom Life Fellowship. Founded in 2006 by Tony and Robyn Ide, the church quickly became known for its authentic community, passionate worship, and unwavering message of God’s radical grace.

Tony and Robyn, who relocated from Adelaide after more than 30 years of ministry experience, including over a decade at Coastlands International Christian Centre, carried with them a deep love for the Church and a vision to see people walk in the fullness of who they are in Christ. Their leadership cultivated a church culture that was both Spirit-filled and grounded in truth — where miracles weren’t anomalies but expected expressions of God’s love.

Freedom Life wasn’t just a gathering — it was a family. A community deeply committed to living out the Gospel in real and practical ways. For over a decade, one of their boldest and most impactful expressions of this was a dedicated ministry team that stepped into the unlikely space of the Perth Conscious Living (Psychic) Expo. Amidst a sea of New Age spirituality, they brought the light of Jesus — praying for the sick, interpreting dreams, prophesying over the lost, and lovingly demonstrating the reality of God.

Hundreds of unchurched people encountered healing from physical ailments, emotional trauma, and spiritual confusion. Many gave their hearts to Jesus in the middle of psychic fairs — not through judgment or debate, but through love, presence, and the undeniable power of the Holy Spirit.

The heart of Freedom Life was always about more than Sunday services. It was about glorifying Jesus by living out the richness of God’s goodness and releasing heaven to the world around them — whether that was in the church, the streets, or unconventional spaces like expos. This legacy was driven by the belief that the grace of God was not just theological — it was transformational.

In 2021, due to health challenges faced by Tony, Freedom Life Fellowship sadly ceased its regular gatherings. However, this transition marked the beginning of a new phase in ministry.

Tony & Robyn continued their ministry across Australia, sharing prophetic insights, teaching the Word, and encouraging the Body of Christ. Through Freedom Life Ministries, the Ides now release online resources, podcasts, and teachings that continue to reach people across the nation and beyond. Tony’s endorsement of works like The Grace Bible by Paul Ellis, and his continued presence in conferences and ministry events, reflects a voice still very much active in the Australian church landscape.

Today, the legacy of Freedom Life Fellowship lives on — not in a building, but in a movement. In the lives transformed, in the message of grace proclaimed, and in the ministry still carried forward by Tony and Robyn Ide. The fire that was lit in Perth continues to burn — even if only by one life, one heart, one city at a time.
