Leslie is the Founder and Visionary of “LBJ Ministries/Led By Jesus Ministries, Inc.- “Women In Ministry.”
For over 12 years, Leslie hosted an annual “Women in Ministry Getaway” where women of various Christian denominations convened with the sole purpose of seeking the face of God while pulling away from the routine tasks of daily life. About 5 years ago, the Lord shifted the ministry to begin connecting with women across the United States and abroad. Thus the 2-day “Connecting For Empowerment Conference” was birthed and launched as a means to support Christian ministries by equipping God’s women for excellence in life and ministry by building the spirit, mind and body. The 2-day “Connecting For Empowerment Conference” has since convened in Maryland, Kentucky, N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Florida, Virginia and Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the “Women In Ministry” continue to connect via a virtual platform and have added ministries in the United Kingdom, Ghana and India.
Pastor Leslie, firmly believes that the Lord is shifting and strategically positioning and empowering His church and her earnest desire is to be a relevant voice for the Lord in this critical hour.
