About us
Leadership
David is a passionate revivalist, seasoned teacher, and visionary leader with over 20 years of experience in ministry. Known for his warmth, wisdom, and storytelling gift, he blends biblical teaching with prophetic insight and Spirit-led creativity.
He has served as a youth pastor, creative director, evangelist, and church planter, and now leads Lions Pride Ministries alongside his wife Lauren. In 2024, during a time of spiritual training with Global Awakening, David received a clear call to take up the identity of the lion—to no longer remain silent, but to boldly
roar Heaven’s truth over the Church.
Lauren is a gifted teacher, prophetic intercessor, and mother with a passion for transformation—both in the classroom and in the Kingdom. A special education teacher by profession, she has a deep love for raising up the next generation with compassion, clarity, and conviction.
Lauren brings a grace-filled strength to Lions Pride Ministries. Whether she’s mentoring women, leading prayer, or serving in outreach, Lauren lives with fierce love and Spirit-born joy. She hears God’s voice clearly and walks with a nurturing but powerful authority.
Together, David and Lauren are raising their two boys, Judah and Isaiah, and co-laboring to see a generation awakened to their identity as sons and daughters who live and love like Jesus
Core Values of Lions Pride Ministries
1
Heaven’s Perspective
We view the world through the lens of eternity, seeing people and situations as God sees them. We choose faith over fear, hope over despair, and vision over limitation.
2
Holy Spirit Power
We believe the supernatural life is the normal Christian life. We walk in gifts of the Spirit, pursue the presence of God, and minister with signs, wonders, and miracles.
3
Biblical Foundation
Our ministry is rooted in the Word of God. Every teaching, prophetic word, and outreach is tested by Scripture and built upon its truth.
4
Apostolic Boldness
We’re not here to play church. We’re here to advance the Kingdom. That means planting, sending, equipping, and building with purpose and clarity.
5
Prophetic Passion
We hear God’s voice and release His heart. Prophecy is not just for the platform—it’s for everyday life, to edify, encourage, and call people into destiny.
6
Radical Relationships
We believe revival flows through family. We fight for connection, choose honor, and create safe spaces for growth, healing, and belonging.
7
Evangelistic Fire
We burn to see the lost found. Whether in neighborhoods, nations, or digital spaces, we carry the Good News everywhere we go.
8
Multiplying Disciples
We don’t just want followers—we’re raising up fire-starters. Everyone in the Pride is trained to walk in power and disciple others to do the same.
Why "Lions Pride Ministries"?
Our last name, Lee, traces back to the French Léon, meaning "lion." In exploring the heraldry of our name, we discovered a prophetic confirmation of identity. During a life-changing week at the Global Summer Intensive with Global Awakening, David clearly heard the Lord say it was time to take up the mantle of the lion—no longer to walk only in meekness, but to roar Heaven’s purpose over the Church.
For too long, too many believers have lived silent, tamed, and disengaged. But a Pride is not just a group of lions—it is a family, a movement, and a force. Lions Pride Ministries was birthed from this conviction: that it’s time to awaken a million lions to rise up, walk in supernatural power, and lead others into revival.
