Michele Herren

Founder/Lead Vocalist/ Pianist 

Wife to my best friend, greatest fan and biggest encourager ever Shane Herren. I am the mother to two plus two bonus boys which I love as my own a Sava or grandmother to two they are the apple of my eye. Most importantly I am in love with Jesus! He is my everything. I have been in the ministry for a long time, and have seen the goodness of God in my life through it all. Singing  is just one of many expressions of worship, writing music, prophetic decrees and declaring of the word boldly to set the Kingdom into action releasing it here on earth as it IS in Heaven. I also believe that Praise and Worship is a Weapon that that reminds our enemy he is already defeated. The Lion's Roar is simply declaring Jesus King of Kings and Lord of Lords and we share that message boldly, fiercely, and unapologetically and with love.

Shane Herren 

Co-Founder/Background Vocalist/ Band Manager 

I serve in ministry along side my wife and recently discovered I can sing in a worship band! I run two business' and love feeding anyone whos hungry. I'm the food part of the Lion's Roar. Before Christ became Lord of my life I was headed full speed into a very destructive end. Jesus rescued me from not only prison but death. I was labeled a career criminal. I am now a new creation in Christ Jesus and going full-speed ahead for Him and whatever he calls me to do. I think that is what a ministry with a surrendered life looks like.

Gary Tombs 

Bassist / Sound Technician 

​

I come from a very long and extensive background in music and live sound production. A graduate from MIT School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Audio/Sound Reinforcement for Live Production, and a degree in Audio & Sound Engineering from San Antonio Sound & Light. As a musician, I began my passion for music as early as 8 years of age when I found my passion for drums and percussion in grade school then Jr. High and through High School on the drum line. Most of my training and skills came from deeply studying well-known professionals such as Buddy Rich and Ginger Baker.

In the early years, I took a 12 year time-out to take care of my marriage and raising two young boys. My heart for music never became a lost influence during those years. Music was my passion; it was his lifestyle and hobby. My early musical influences were The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd CCR and various groups of the 60’s.

In 1991, My wife and myself became Christians and started serving the Lord through our church doing sound and then moving on to several Christian artist in the local San Antonio area. I felt the call to learn the Bass guitar in !995.  I actively pursued honing in on his skills to be a solid bassist. I began my career at my local church then onto several churches around south Texas. Then with my first Christian band, “Burning Faith” began as a calling from God to share the Gospel through music outside of the walls of church. This venture lasted 12 years before becoming the Bassist for The MicheleHerren Band/The Lions Roar Rev 5.5. Some of the ministries I’ve had the opportunity to be part of as a Sound Tech and bassist include: The Texas State Prison Ministries, Promise Keepers, Homeless shelters, and many church functions and revivals over my 40 plus years. I am spirit driven, love music and ministering to God’s people.

Deneen Williams 

Psalmist/ Worship Leader/Singer/Songwriter 

My heart is to bring people to the heart of God through worship. My job as a Psalmist/ Worship leader is to connect you to the heavens, and bring you to the giver of life so you can encounter Jesus with me. I have a strong desire to see the body of Christ connect in the same way Holy Spirit is operating in to encounter his presence and his power. 

My love of God's presence and music is what drives me to lead others in worship. I love a wide range of music and I am influenced by various Christian artist such as Naomi Raine, Kim Walker/Jesus Culture, Victoria Orenze and Upperroom to name a few. I grab inspiration from all styles of Christian music from contemporary Christian, African worship/Afrobeats, Christian rap and Gospel. 

I continue my mission to shift atmospheres through songs of deliverance and prophetic worship building up the kingdoms one soul at a time. 

I am a mother, makeup artist, and cook but my favorite title is Child of God

Lupe Babbit 

Mother/Grandmother/Great-grandmother/Intercessor 

Daughter of the most high God! I have spent many days and nights interceding for a move of God and it is here NOW. The Lord explained to me He would use the misfits and the criminals, attics and and outcast for His Glory. I have gone before the face of the King placing a demand on His word to manifest His kingdom here. Every word that He has spoken to my heart is being confirmed and the time is Now! The Lions Roar has been birthed out of these prayers and we have asked for the nations for our inheritance and it is so!
