his release from prison, he became determined to receive his preaching license, and in 1877, he succeeded. One year later, he applied to join the Annual Conference of the A.M.E. Zion Church. After deliberation by the Zion Church, he was received into conference and was assigned to Winston, North Carolina. There, he held charge for one year and a half. After his time in Winston, he was ordained by the church and in 1880, he was sent to Granville County, where he held charge for two years. Late life Ferebee was a preacher in Winston until his church was burned down. His last station was in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he wrote the narrative of his life, entitled "A Brief History of the Slave Life of Rev. L.R. Ferebee, and the Battles of Life, and Four Years of His Ministerial Life. Written from Memory. To 1882". The date of his death, after 1883, is unknown.
