Monty Lewis - Founder & President

The Monty Lewis story is a dynamic testimony of the miraculous power of Jesus Christ! While lying naked, broken and hopeless in a solitary confinement cell in London, Ontario, Monty prayed a prayer of desperation. To his absolute amazement, God answered that prayer and touched him with His supernatural power! After spending years in and out of jails, detention centers, prisons and mental institutions, his life of crime and drug abuse was totally transformed. And as you hear his message of victory and hope, God will powerfully touch you as well!
