ABOUT US
Gary and Kim Payne are Sydneysiders whose lives were changed radically after meeting Jesus in the early 1980’s. Since then, they have dedicated their lives to ministering God’s Word and healing power to others, setting them free. Together they are Evangelists, with a powerful healing and deliverance ministry, who also move in the anointing of Apostles. Their appetite for God’s Word, as well as the supernatural healing Gary received by faith, from a growth on the pancreas in 1986, help them in their excellent understanding and communication of God’s will in healing.
Before the founding of Set Free International Ministries in 1998, they have served the Lord through ministering to addicts, homeless, street preaching and counselling. |
They have over two decades of experience of ministering through Set Free both in Sydney and around the world, in countries including India, Pakistan, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Philippines, Uganda, Kenya, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Gary and Kim live by faith, depending entirely on God for all their need. They are continually seeking a closer walk with the Lord, which is the foundation for their ministry.
They are joined in Sydney by a small spirit-filled team, who assist them in fulfilling the vision of Set Free.
Overseas, Set Free International Ministries has three churches in Uganda, and one church in each of Burma, Indonesia, and Pakistan.
