In 2015, it was heavy on Roys heart to create an outreach event focused on the men of our local community. The event was small, but was a tremendous success. We thought that would be the end of it, but God had bigger plans. Word got out about the small conference and we felt led to sit down to plan an event for the next year with hopes to have an even greater impact on the lives of the men in attendance. We were blown away by the local churches that wanted to be involved and the attendance number nearly TRIPLED. Chasing Lions Ministry was officially born and more mens events followed.

With the success of the men’s conferences, we wanted to find a way to tie our passion for overseas mission work into the Chasing Lions vision. Wendy was very experienced with overseas missions and serving in countries all over the world from the refugee camps in Iraq to Central America long before Chasing lions started. Her love of serving on the foreign mission field was the basis of blending both foreign and local ministry out reach.
