Lewis's Story

After graduating from MDHS, I eventually ended up working for Disney (78-87). I am married to the former Jo Figgins (Tavares High, 76) in 1982. We've been married almost 27 years now. God called me into the Gospel Ministry while I was working for Disney, and I returned to school to complete my BA in Speech Communication at UCF. We had a still-born son, then a healthy daughter born to us while we were there. From there I moved my family to New Orleans where I attended New Orleans Baptist Seminary, where I received my Master of Divinity with a dual major of pastoral ministry and biblical studies. Our youngest daughter was born while there. I pastored a small church down near the mouth the Mississippi in the community of Buras, LA. Buras was ground-zero when Katrina came ashore, and the church building no longer exists. While in seminary I became involved with the Navy Chaplain Corps, and I left this church to go on active duty as a Navy Chaplain. While with the Navy, we had tours in Mayport, FL (destroyer squadron staff), Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, and Coast Guard District 13 (OR & WA). I left active duty and returned to the Reserves and I also became the pastor of a medium-sized church in Concord, CA. After leaving that church, we moved back to FL and now live neat Defuniak Springs, Fl, about 45 minutes east o...Expand for more
f Pensacola. Our daughters are now 23 and 21, we have 5 acres here in the Panhandle, and I have returned to a first love, in a manner of speaking. I am now developing a horse-based ministry that I will use for out-reach on behalf of the area churches, I now train horses professionally (side job), and this ministry will eventually expand to include marriage enrichment (using horses) as well as therapeutic riding, for children and youth, and possibly for veterans from OIF and OEF. Upon my return to the Navy Reserves, I have mobilized twice since the attacks of Sep 11, 2001. The first time I was the command chaplain for a Marine Ari Group on Camp Pendleton. I was there for the beginning of OIF, Operation Iraqi Freedom. I mobilized and deployed again in 2005 and served with Charlie Surgical Company, Combat Logistics Battalion, 2nd Force Service and Support Group, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. We were at Camp Fallujahto provide level 2-3 medical care (including significant surgery) to the Marines serving at Fallujah. Among my interests I play tennis when I can, I run 18 miles per week (have to show those Marines a Navy chaplain can indeed keep up), I play around with the computer, and I have the horses that I train. My wife is absolutely wonderful, and we were truly blessed with the daughters that the Lord placed into our lives.
