2023 Board of Directors

Sr. Pastor

Chairman of the Board

Born and raised poor in Kenosha, WI, his drug addiction, and party lifestyle caused him to leave his family and friends and head to Dallas, TX, where he had an encounter with the living God while freebasing cocaine in the back of a van. Pastor Leon had dreams that did not include the poor and the lost. After he surrendered his life to Christ in 1994, he heard, and was obedient to the voice of God which led him to ministry of the most vulnerable on the streets of Dallas Texas.

David is a Baylor University graduate and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics. He is a forty-year industry veteran in development, redevelopment, asset management, and construction services, and a faithful supporter of Servants Of oUr Lord.
