About Us
Tribal Praise Ministries
Welcome to the Website of Tribal Praise Ministries.    Our strong
emphasis here is the ministry and teaching of worship to the
highest degree:
lifestyle worship.  With the high call of taking
worship to the nations of the world, Tribal Praise Ministries is
truly blessed for the doors that God has opened to fulfill this
mission.  

Our vision here at Tribal Praise Ministries is to bring greater
understanding of what God is saying in this hour regarding the
ministry of worship.   The  focal points of our vision is to:

  •        Teach the unchanging principles as taught by the Word of God regarding lifestyle worship

  •           Develop and minister in the ever-changing expressions of worship through music

Dr. Juan Lopez, is Pastor and President of Tribal Praise Ministries, an international ministry based out of
Southern California.  He also serves as the Commissioner for Latin University of Theology Asia, whose
corporate offices are in Inglewood, Ca.  As Commissioner of L.U.T. Asia, he travels to third world countries
where he trains and works with local leaders to establish University extensions that serve as educational
training centers for present and future leaders.   






















Dr. Lopez has also been called
"to gather together" the Body of
Christ from every nation, tribe, people and tongue for the purpose
of building unity within the Body, and bringing together corporate
worship.  For him it all began when the Lord spoke into existence
the ministry which was formed out of revelation stemming from several key Scriptures; Revelation 7:9-10,  
Genesis 49:1-2, 28, Judges 1:1-3,  and 1 Corinthians 12.  The first one says in Revelation 7:9-10,

"After these things, I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number of all nations,
tribes, peoples, and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes,
with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice saying, "Salvation belongs to our
God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb."

I feel the Lord spoke to me and said, "This is what my people will be doing ultimately  in eternity.  
Standing together from all walks of life; from various backgrounds, diverse cultures and generations, yet
standing together to worship the One Father of all; and Jesus the Lamb who paid the price for all."
 The
picture was an incredible one.  Diverse people from different cultures and generations and time periods
bringing their own different expressions of worship before the ONE God...what a beautiful picture!  So
diverse-yet they ALL worshiped one God
together. Then I felt the Lord say, "Why aren't they practicing
now, what they ultimately will be doing in eternity?  Start gathering them now!!"

The 2nd scripture comes from Genesis 49: 1-2, 28 where we're told that Israel called for his sons "to gather
together"
.  He gathered them together "to speak to them" (vs. 1), so "they could hear" (vs. 2) and so that
"he might bless them"
(vs. 28).  We see in vs. 3-27 that they were different in their giftings and callings, but
these 12 brothers which represents the 12 tribes, as diverse as they were, were still brothers of
ONE father.

The 3rd scripture comes from Judges 1:1-3 where the children of Israel had been advancing in the taking of
their promised land, and during the course of their possessing the land, their leader Joshua dies.  Then they
inquire to the Lord asking,

"Who will go up first to go for us against the Canaanites (the principalities and giants in your region) to
fight against them?"  And the Lord answered them and said, "Judah
(Praise) shall go up; behold I
have given the land into
his hand."  

Wow!!  The Lord is saying that praise shall go up and I have given the land to the people who praise me...I
have given their promised inheritance into their hands!  Judah then does an interesting thing...he goes to his
brother Simeon and says,

"Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise
go with you to your allotted territory."

There is an important dynamic here that can't be missed...Judah is essence was saying to his brother
Simeon, "I need your strengths and gifts, and
together we can accomplish so much more...if one can put a
thousand to flight, two can put ten thousand to flight."  And that's just what they did.  Unity and power!

Lastly, in 1 Corinthians 12, which we know speaks of "Spiritual Gifts", also speaks of
"Unity and Diversity
in One Body"
.  This is important because every part plays an important role in the function of the Body.  As
we know, every part is different and diverse in it's function and expression.  Verses 20-24 speak of the
"body parts" honoring one another, which brings honor to the Head.  

As a result of these revelations in the Scriptures, Dr. Lopez has been networking with various churches and
ministries to bring unity in the Body.  He has also joined forces with other global ministries who share the
same passion.







We need God's blessing, we need His Life forevermore to come into our regions.  For this reason Tribal
Praise Ministries is taking the message of Kingdom worship and corporate unity to the nations of the world.
Our process of worship ministry training is five-fold:

  • Recruit:    To help others recognize their gift and call to worship of God
  • Train:        Teach about our TWA: thoughts, words and actions as our daily expression of worship
  • Monitor:   To disciple individuals towards attaining maturity in their call to live a life of worship
  • Nurture:   To encourage, love and support individuals as they move towards their destiny
  • Deploy:     Position worship ministers and leaders for local, national & international works of service

As a ministry, we believe in the importance of
"equipping God's people for the work of ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son
of God
" (Eph. 4:12-13), and that is what we are called to do.  If you have any questions or would like more
information on the services of Tribal Praise Ministries, please email us at

More and more of God's people in the Body of Christ are realizing the importance of coming together in
unity and corporate worship  within the Body.  Many have prayed for an outpouring in their region but
because of the lack of unity, God could not come.  Psalm 133 says,
"How good and pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity...for
there (where unity is) the Lord commanded the blessing--Life
forevermore.

Hanging with Dr. Jack Hayford,
President of Kings College
He has recently written a book entitled "From Deliverance To
Destiny"
, where Dr. Lopez teaches about worship from a fresh
Kingdom perspective, specifically concerning the times in which
we're living.  He also teaches keen insights from a Biblical
perspective and shows how worship is key to possessing our
promised inheritance.  He explains that as the principles of
worship were key in the lives of our Biblical forefathers, he says
they apply for us in order to be successful in obtaining our full
inheritance.
Our desire is to find the heart of God's expression on Earth, as
it is in Heaven.  It is essential for us to know now more than ever
what our purpose here on Earth is. God has created us with a
purpose in mind, and our part is to know what that purpose is,
and what role we play in advancing God's Kingdom on Earth as it
is in Heaven.  We are not here on Earth just to amass all our own
wealth, and forget about our fellow man.  God has given to each
person 'talents, gifts, abilities' which we're called to multiply.  He
has delivered us from our pasts, and set us on the course of
destiny to help change the lives of others. "
