Meet Our Founders

Layne-and-Marsha

Layne & Marsha Mason

Pastor Layne is the founder of Forever Free and serves as the Recovery Pastor at First Assembly North Little Rock. He is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministries from Nelson University (formerly Southwestern Assemblies of God University), and earned a Master of Leadership and Ministry from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary.

Marsha serves as the Ministry Operations Director for Forever Free. She oversees the day-to-day operations of the ministry, equips and trains leaders and volunteers, and helps ensure every area of Forever Free is carried out with excellence. Her leadership, wisdom, and heart for people have helped shape the culture of Forever Free from the very beginning.

Together, their passion is simple: to help people discover that no life is beyond the reach of God's grace and that lasting freedom is possible through a Christ-centered, Bible-based recovery program.

Layne and Marsha are blessed with four adult children—Gregory, Adam, Heather, and Ashley—and eight grandchildren: Maddox, Joey, Alexis, Marlie, Greyson, Taytum, Ashlynne, and Hudson.

Prison & Jail Ministry Director

Jason Fleming

Jason serves as the Director of Prison and Jail Ministry for Forever Free.  Since 2016, he has been committed to recovery ministry, with a deep passion for reaching those who are incarcerated, especially those who feel forgotten.

He stepped into prison ministry during COVID, leading his first group over Zoom. That experience confirmed God’s calling on his life. As Jason says, “This is by far my favorite thing to do in ministry.”

Jason is dedicated to helping others launch and lead effective prison and jail ministries. Through his leadership, hundreds of men and women have completed Forever Free Process Groups—many calling it the most impactful class in their facility.

His mission is simple: to see lives changed by Jesus and for people to leave incarceration different than they came.

Reentry & Recovery Liaison

Devin Adams

Devin serves as a liaison for men coming out of incarceration and sober living homes, helping connect them to Forever Free. Since becoming a part of Forever Free in 2023, he has found great joy in supporting those who are new to the church and to recovery.

After being released from Pulaski County Jail, completing a process group, and building relationships with many incredible people at the church, Devin knew he had found his home. Forever Free has become a cornerstone of his recovery and continues to be his home group.

Devin is passionate about sharing the Word of God and the power of recovery through faith and the 12 Steps. He leads by example, helping others turn away from criminal lifestyles and leave addiction behind.

Recovery & Reentry Liaison

Rainey Adams

Rainey serves alongside her husband, Devin, as the Recovery & Reentry Liaison for women at Forever Free. Having experienced firsthand the devastation of childhood trauma, addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and broken relationships, Rainey knows what it means to feel hopeless and far from freedom. Through the grace of Jesus Christ and the life-changing ministry of Forever Free, God transformed her story from one of pain and bondage into one of healing, restoration, and purpose.

Today, Rainey lives in the freedom she once thought was impossible. Since surrendering her life fully to Christ, she has experienced lasting recovery, reconciliation with her family, restored relationships with her sons, and a renewed passion for helping others find hope. Her heart is especially drawn to women who are struggling with addiction, trauma, shame, and life-controlling issues, because she knows that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace.

Rainey is passionate about walking alongside women as they discover healing, freedom, and a new identity in Christ. She believes that God meets people in their darkest moments and can do for them what they cannot do for themselves. Through her leadership, encouragement, and testimony, she reminds others that no one is too far gone and that true freedom is possible through surrender to Jesus Christ.

Justin currently serves as a CIT at Incura Treatment Centers and has led multiple 12-Step process groups in Pulaski County Jail. In these settings, he helps individuals uncover the root causes of their struggles while guiding them with both practical tools and biblical truth.

Known for his ability to connect with people, Justin has a genuine heart for meeting others where they are and pointing them toward hope. Whether leading a group or engaging in everyday conversations, he faithfully shares the love of Jesus and encourages others to step into the life change that is possible through Him.
