The Full Story
Lions of GOD
In 2023, After watching a documentary about Pope Benedict XVI and learned of his prayer that God would raise up mighty shepherds to protect GODs Church. As I listened, something stirred deeply within my heart. I felt a powerful call from God and a conviction that I was being asked to answer that prayer—to become one of those shepherds.
The very next day, what felt like a confirmation from God arrived. My parish priest approached me and asked if I would be interested in teaching martial arts and offered me space to do so. After a lifetime of training martial arts and an awakening from GOD, I recognized this opportunity as more than a coincidence. It was a calling!
From that moment, Lions of God was born.
What began with a prayer from a pope and a simple invitation from a priest has become a ministry dedicated to helping others answer God's call in their own lives.
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control." — 2 Timothy 1:7
Mission
The mission of Lions of God Martial Arts School is to form strong disciples of Jesus Christ through the integration of faith, prayer, education, and martial arts training. We are committed to developing spiritual strength, physical discipline, courage, humility, and servant leadership, equipping men, women, and children to grow closer to Christ and to serve their families, churches, and communities with the heart of a shepherd and the courage of a lion. Through excellence in training and a Christ-centered environment, we strive to raise up faithful Christian leaders who are prepared to stand firm in truth, protect the vulnerable, and glorify God in all they do.
Vision
Our vision is to build a generation of Lions of God—strong disciples of Jesus Christ who are physically capable, spiritually grounded, and courageously committed to advancing God's Kingdom. We envision a thriving community where men, women, and children grow in faith, character, leadership, and self-discipline, becoming protectors of their families, servants in their churches, and lights in their communities. Through martial arts, prayer, education, and authentic Christian fellowship, we seek to raise up modern-day shepherds and saints who will stand firm in truth, lead with humility, defend the vulnerable, and inspire others to follow Christ. Together, we are building more than martial artists; we are forming disciples who will leave a lasting impact on the world for the glory of God.
