Our History
Inspired to Impact
Birthed out of the vision of our Founder, Dr. Jason Jackson, The Lion’s Den Missions Base (TLD) is driven by seeing ALL people fulfill their talents and gifts. TLD leaders and volunteers demonstrate compassion and sensitivity in the face of human adversity and life challenges. TLD has an aggressive goal of training and coordinating teams to deploy material and human resources and support throughout Continental US and abroad. To reach this goal, we enlist the service of gifted individuals, from all walks of life who are willing to be trained and mobilized in service to others. Wherever you live, whatever your background the Lion’s Den Missions Base welcomes your talent. We use our vast network of government relationships, para-ministries and non-profit partners to overcome geographical hurdles. In short, once trained we will find a place where your gifts and talents may thrive.
