Shelia Johnson
President, Chaplain

Shelia Johnson was born in Texas, the youngest of five children.
In 1974, at the age of 18, I enlisted in the US Women’s Army Corps (WAC), later integrated into the US Army.

A changed life:
I have experienced many failures before realizing that I was not moving forward but backward. Raised in a Baptist Church, I sang in the choir and was secretary, but still not sold out to the Lord. Partying, drinking, clubbing, living worldly. I left that life In 1990 and joined a Charismatic Church. I experienced God in a new way. I finally got tired of living the way I had been and surrendered my all to the Lord receiving Christ as my Lord and Savior. A few days later I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I have never looked back or regretted it.

The Calling:
After many trials, tribulations, and battles, God has shown me his increasing anointing on my life. He said, 'before I formed you in the belly I know you; and before you came out of the womb I sanctified you and ordained you a prophet'. He called me to go where HE sends me, speak what I command you. I am not to be afraid of their faces for He is with me to deliver me, says the Lord. He has given me compassion, passion, and the anointing to minister to broken vessels, through proclaiming His Word, (Jer 1:5,7,8,) high above all principalities, through intercession and worship. Boldness to root out, to pull down, to destroy, to throw down, to build up, and to plant. (Jer1:10). Laying hands on the captives to break strongholds and yokes over all the power of the enemy to set them free. Walking one with the Father, a life of integrity with pure motives, being led of the Spirit and Spirit-filled, transformed into His Divine nature, is crucial in standing in the place of a Prophet.

How I began in prison ministry:
In 1995 Chaplain Ballard my chaplain in the military invited me to go into the prison where he was also a Chaplain as well. I hesitated but with his encouragement, I finally gave up and went in with him. God move so mightily on me in the prison and I was so at ease with the men that I told my Chaplain that I was ready and willing to do prison ministry. I believe that God used my Chaplain to show me that this is the ministry he had for me and I have been going in ever since. I received my calling to preach the Gospel in this same year. We began going into the prisons ministering to the men and women singing and preaching the Word and showing the Love of God.

I am the Founder of Freely Receive Freely Give Ministry (FRFG), a ministry God birth in me to replenish the needs of those who have gone through the trauma of a fire, flood, or homeless, or having been released from prison or jail with nothing but the clothes on their backs, those just going through a bad time in life and no one has offered them help. The ministry collects unblemished items that a person would need after a loss and give it freely to the ones in need.

The vision:
In 1998 God lay upon my heart to have a place on acreage divided that would accommodate men & women when they are released from prison. We would be able to supply food, shelter, training, health needs, Dr’s appointments dress for success, transportation to and from job interviews, meeting the needs of his people, and preparing them for success to get back into the communities.

In 2000 God gave me the vision of Yahweh To Holiness a one-month revival. I wrote the vision and made it plain.

In 2006 I begin looking for a prison ministry in the area of North Houston thinking I was soon to retire. I found Hope For All In Jesus Prison Outreach Ministry. Pastor Robert & Audrey Dubois. I met with them and Sis Audrey and I were taken to each other from day one. She said, she has always wanted a black daughter and now she has one. We have been family ever since. I have been going into the prison with them and in 2010 I was named Directory of the ministry.

Schools:
Attended Charlton-Pollard High, The College of Biblical Studies, a graduate of the School of Prophets, and United Christian Faith Ministry, and Cameron University.

I retired with thirty-nine years of service in February 2014. The journey has been long and very complex; but I never gave up, gave out, or gave it. I am a Soldier4Christ

2015 the vision came to pass it started in a school and then we took it to the streets under a tent. Twice a year we hold Yahweh To Holiness thirty-day tent revival’s.

I met brother Robert Dubois through Brother John Hammond sometime in 1983. At that time, I did not become involved going to the prisons with him but attended some of the ministry functions and eventually became a monthly doner. In 2017 I began going into the prisons and have been an active member since then. In 2018 I became editor of the ministry monthly newsletter and a limited administrator on this website. Prior to involvement in 'Hope For All In Jesus Prison Outreach': Graduated from High School in 1966, Joined the Marines, served in Viet Nam, Honorably discharged in 1970. I went the 'hippie' route and worked with a rock n roll band a couple years then, in 1972, Eureka California I met Jesus while working a free park gig. I immediately moved to Lighthouse Ranch, near Eureka which was run by Gospel Outreach under the ministry of Jim Durkin. Gospel Outreach sent teams around the world and I was on one of the first, to New York City. In 1982 I came to Houston, Texas at the invitation of John Hammond. In 2017, for the first time ever I began a daily rejimen of early morning bible reading which changed my life. I now look forward to my mornings which have become a time of fellowship with my Heavenly Father as I receive the 'Bread of Life' in cohesion with the Holy Spirit. I delight in Him and He delights in me.

John P Hammond
Treasurer - Minister
MY INVOLVEMENT WITH HOPE FOR ALL IN JESUS PRISON MINISTRY I met Pastor Robert Dubois in 1982 when he was ministering to a friend who gotten himself in trouble and was in jail for probation violation. Robert was living in Pasadena, Texas at the time and we started attending Lakewood Church together when John Osteen was the pastor. Shortly after that he stated, the Lord had put on his heart to start a prison ministry, so he contacted chaplains at different prisons, and doors started to open for him to go in. We were shown favor with the chaplain at the Ellis II Unit which is now called the Estelle Unit and started a Bible study for the inmates at this unit once a month. Over time another door opened in the ’90s for Robert to go on the radio and he had a program on Friday evenings, and for many years ministered to inmates on KJOJ radio station then owned by Jimmy Swaggert. To help raise money for the prison ministry Robert would have fundraisers several times a year at different churches and invited the prison chaplains to speak. In 1992, Robert became pastor of a church because he wanted a place for the inmates to attend when they were released. He asked me to be the Assistant Pastor of the church and was in this position for a while but because of my work commitment I had to resign, and Gary and Gloria Johnson became the assistant pastors. As the prisons opened more and more, he and his wife Sister Audrey would drive many miles each to minister, and at the beginning, many of the units did not have a worship team, so Audrey would play a portable keyboard and Robert would lead worship. Robert is an example to the body of Christ because he ministered into his 80’s, using a walker many times, just to get into the prisons to tell the inmates about Jesus. Minister John Hammond
