David A Barclay was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee and was the seventh of nine children. From an early age, he was brought up to follow God and attended house church with his family. David was 12 years of age when he heard God call him to preach. When David was 15 years old, Bishop Henry Parks, of the New Step of Faith Holiness Church, formally ordained him as a minister of the Gospel. With the Bible and Holy Spirit, God gave young David the principles of education that caused him to read and excel in numbers and mathematics. Later on in his life he has become an inspiration and educator using the principles of God to reveal God in all of creeation, life skills, and subjects.
David moved to Oklahoma in 1995 and attended Lighthouse Christian Center of Eufaula, Oklahoma, for three years before marrying his wife, Aleshia, in 1998. There he felt a call and a draw to the vision and work that God had placed within the heart of Scott Lovett. He was a regular support and encourager in the early years as Scott and Christine birthed Fervent Fire Ministries. In 2004, he was called to help open up Real Church and became one of the intial leaders at its conception. In various seasons, David and Aleshia attended and supported many local Tulsa churches and ministries for more than 22 years.
David has been called a “revivalist” by some and has traveled as an evangelist to several US cities. He and his wife have led a series of prayer services at local churches to try to unify and bring revival to local cities and our nation. These services were called "The Jesus Prayer Revolution." During this time they saw a deep hunger and desire for the work of the Holy Spirit in the children and youth. Believing that God desires to raise a generation
David, along with his wife and son, continues to operate in the office of the Pastoral at Real Church.
