Meet Our Team

Lead Pastors Paul and Lynna Zapata

Live Free Indeed was officially founded on April 17th, 2018, however the vision for the ministry started long before then. Paul and Lynna Zapata have always longed for reaching as many people as possible to share Gods word and vision with. The original team that started the ministry was brought together by nothing short of a miracle, and continues to grow with men and women from all walks of life sharing the same vision. Paul and Lynna have dedicated their lives to sharing the good news of Christ with whoever will listen. Together Paul and Lynna have 6 children, and have been married for 18 years.
