Why The Name "Aslan Roars"?

 

"But who is Aslan? Do you know him?"
"Well - he knows me."

~ Eustace and Edmund (Voyage of the Dawn Treader)

Aslan, also known as The Great Lion, is a Christ figure in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.
He is the creator and one true king of the world of Narnia just as Jesus, the Lion of Judah, is Creator and King of our world.

When God speaks, it is like a lion roaring. Amos 3:7-8 says,
"Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?"

This ministry's beginnings and continued foundation is to speak/prophesy what God is saying, thus the name Aslan Roars.
