About Me

Dr. Barbara W. Lee is the Co-Pastor of Word of Truth Church Ministries (WOTCM), which she co-founded with her husband, Evangelist Kenneth Lee, in 2000. Their ministry, now a global podcast available on platforms like YouTube, iTunes, and Spotify, also hosts conferences and workshops for diverse audiences.

Ordained as ministers in 1997 and elders in 1998, the Lees received their evangelism licenses in 1999. In 2017, Dr. Lee was awarded an honorary doctorate through PACE Network.
