The words “…I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see”… ring so clear and true to my heart that I want everyone to know what my God has done for me! Before I came to know God, I was lost in the world of drugs, prostitution, crime and other areas of abuse. I had no hope, no help, no home, no family, no job, no money, no food, and I was serving time for past crimes. However, through God's grace and Mrs. Lexie's obedience, I was introduced to Jesus Christ by Free Indeed Ministries and became Born Again! I am now free of drugs. I have a home, a job, food on my table, and my family has seen a change in my life. My trust is now in the Lord and not the world. I hold fast to Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go.” prayer and through deeds of kindness to the women and their families. Contributions of household items, food, furniture and finances have been distributed through FIM and the generosity of the community, individuals and local churches.
One Person Can Make A Difference
I remember when Mrs. Lexie started coming to minister to the women in the Burke COunty Jail. Back in 2004, Free Indeed Ministries was a dream that I watched become a reality. Mrs. Lexie ministered nd encourages me in my walk with God down the road less traveled. She watched me grow and saw the consuming fire of God's word burn within me. I have continued growing and seeking God daily. I now teach a Bible study group behind these prison gates; I have a diploma in Theology and am working toward a Bachelor's degree in Christian Theology.
Free Indeed Ministries is not just a local prison ministry, it has helped numerous women in Pulaski State Prison by sending packages and personals, brining Bibles and have helped bring Christmas to those who have lost hope.
Through Free Indeed, these women know that they are loved. Mrs. Lexie has helped women upon their release to get set up with clothes, apartments and into rehab centers. One person CAN make a difference!

Emily's Story
Hello, my name is Emily Johnson and I am 25 years old. I met Mrs. Lexie while incarcerated at the Burke County Jail. For years I have struggled with a drug addiction. The devil had control of my life. I was a slave to sin. The Good News is: greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I was glad to be off of the streets and be in the Burke COunty Jail. There I could worship and praise the Lord with mrs. Lexie on Thursday nights. Now I'm striving and thirsty for more of the Word, eager to learn and be "Free Indeed"!
"Lexie shows her genuine concern and compassion daily through her efforts. God has used her to bring comfort and encouragement to the downtrodden. Above all, her ministry is grounded upon the unchanging Biblical truth that offers hope to even the most hopeless. It is a blessing to be a supporter of Free Indeed."

"There are only a chosen few who are “truly gifted” in spreading the word of God. Having been given the gift of ministering to those whom are lost, Lexie delivers His message with such conviction and compassion. She gives of herself completely and selflessly; serving with a wholehearted and nonjudgmental approach, thus finding the good in all people. Certainly, God's will is being done as this crisis ministry has found many lost women “free indeed.”"

"Free Indeed Ministries is definitely the heart and mind of Almighty God being manifested through human vessels. This ministry proves that we serve the God of a second chance. God is being glorified through the work of this ministry. Lives are being forever changed and the captives are being set free! Pastor Lexie is a woman after the very heart of God. And as he just keeps on pouring his love into her; she just keeps right on pouring into others."
