PASTOR LEON WEBER It all began when God planned a visit to Leon Weber while he was living life in darkness. He was a strong young man who had an ear to hear. He was seeking. At twenty-seven, he knelt down at a full gospel church and gave his heart to Jesus. Months later, God began speaking regarding a vision for the future. It was a vision of ministry and teaching Gods people. Years later, countless lives have been changed and affected by the gospel Pastor Leon Weber preaches. The call of God answered by a young man many years ago is still bearing fruit today. Pastor Leon, as his congregation affectionately calls him, carries a true shepherds heart, along with a simple, dynamic ability to teach and bring forth revelation from Gods Word. His simple, yet in-depth teaching style is a favorite among his listeners. His life is one of overcoming areas of addictive behavior, and has a deep understanding of its grip on men and women. Gods hand is upon him as he takes not only the Word of God, but experience to bring the insight needed to set the captives free. Pastor Leon is known as an Ambassador of Grace and Mercy. He has been blessed with a heart for restoration, and carries this to all he touches. He has his wife, Denise; over 40 years by his side, and his two sons with him in ministry. Denise says, "Leon is a man of integrity...no matter what he has faced, I have seen him walk it out from his heart, like King David. I support him fully in his efforts and direction." Together the Webers have pastored three churches, worked on staff with others and traveled ministering the gospel. Their callings have been proven by many being raised up in ministry under their leadership with fruit that remains. Grace Christian Fellowship was founded by Leon and Denise and is their lifes work. Grace has a strong mandate from God to reach the fallen and lost with His love and mercy. "Its been the hardest work we have yet to do, say the Webers, but absolutely the most rewarding." PASTOR DENISE WEBER Denise was born again in 1980 with a dramatic interaction with the Holy Spirit. She has a heart to see people walk in the fullness of what God has for them. She has a strong heart for the hurting and sees the church as a place of healing. She knows how to overcome and remain steadfast in life in the face of hardship. She is the mother of two sons, and has stood with her husband in ministry. God has used Denise in prayer for many years, her seasoned obedience has brought forth many sons and daughters into the kingdom. She is a seer and used in the prophetic. Friendship is a strong call on Denise's heart. True God called women who will stand in covenant friendship is her heart's cry. The church world has been known for betrayal and killing its own. She has a heart to change that and make a difference by establishing covenant friendships that are eternal. It's all about real people doing the right thing.
