Pastor Dennis and Cindy Lewis

I first met Bro. Dennis Lewis in the early 1990’s. I had heard from many about his ministry and how he not only preached with great authority but would flow in the moving of the Holy Ghost as he ministered individually to people’s needs. I can say that everything I had heard was confirmed and more! Bro. Lewis preaches the Word with passion and tremendous authority, and flows so seamlessly in the Spirit of God as he ministers to individual needs as the Lord leads and directs him.

During the 90’s, my wife and & I were youth/assistant pastors at a church where Bro. Lewis frequently ministered. This church was a praying church and held apostolic influence in a large radius around its location.

In one particular revival, I recall at least 20-25 folks coming from a denominal church about 45 miles away, and being baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. Many of those became leadership and the core of the apostolic church in which we labored.

Following that mighty move of God, Bro. Lewis came again and this time the results were similar, 20-25 people coming from a different denominal church of another persuasion, being baptized in Jesus Name and filled with the Holy Ghost. And again, many of those became faithful leadership and the core of that church where we labored.

In November of 2015, I preached a pastors and leadership conference in the Philippines for one of those converts, now a missionary to the Philippines, who came out of one of those tremendous meetings.

Today, the Lewis family finds themselves under physical attack with COVID-19. Bro. Lewis is now home recovering, but Sis. Lewis remains on a ventilator in critical condition. They are now pastoring a small work in Gainesville, TX. Bro. & Sis. Lewis are full time, and needs his salary paid during this time. Bro. & Sis. Lewis take their tithes and offerings to help pay the church bills, this has to continue, and with your help it can!

The Apostle John exhorts us in 1 John 3:16-18:

16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. KJV

Now is the time to minister, the time to step forward and do the “deeds” the love of God requires of us. Please consider helping the Lewis family during this critical, stressful time in their lives & ministry. For the past four decades, they have answered the call and sacrificed in their labors and loyalties of the Kingdom.
