Monty Lewis
On Tuesday, June 25, 2013, Monty Lewis, founder of Bridges of Canada, friend and former COPE’s Board of Directors’ member, finished his race and joined that great cloud of witnesses.
Monty’s compelling life story began in the hole of a prison cell nearly thirty years ago but it didn’t end there. He spent half of his life building a ministry that touched the lives of thousands of incarcerated men and women and their children. Through the years, he carried out his vision to reach the least, the lost and the lonely by establishing programs such as BarNone Christian Camp, the annual Christmas for Kids Campaign, the Victory Centre, various Chaplaincy Programs and Prison Ministry. Monty’s life story, The Caper, is available in both English and French. God Still Speaks was published in 2012.
Richard Bragdon, Vice President of Bridges of Canada, reflects on Monty’s legacy with deep admiration and respect. “Monty possessed the ability to see the best in people. He believed within every human being exists the capacity to change and he spent a great deal of his life, after his own incarceration experience, reaching out to those within one of society’s most marginalized populations.”
To Lynda Lewis, the Lewis family and to the Bridges of Canada family, COPE, and WVIW extend our love and heartfelt sympathies.

Oklahoma Relief Biker Rally
Here is what is happening with the disaster relief in the Oklahoma City area:
There will be a motorcycle rally in Oklahoma City Friday, July 5, at a location to be announced.
The cost is $25 per bike. 100% of the proceeds will go to tornado victims in the area, with an emphasis on the families who lost children in the school.
You can follow this project on http://Facebook.com/UBOCUnifiedBodyOfChrist
Updates and meeting locations for the ride will be posted there. This is an opportunity for the biking community to demonstrate our concern for those hit hard by these storms.
We will ride to Oklahoma City from every direction and surrounding states. Get your club together and create your own rallying points and join us in Oklahoma City. There will be a large rally with music and testimonies Friday night and opportunities to work, serve, and pray for folks on Saturday.
Watch this Facebook page, and the UBOC page, and share the posts you receive with every one you know.
Lets gather by the hundreds in Oklahoma City, July 5-7, and show the love of Christ to our hurting brothers and sisters.
Remember, this event is still being put together, so watch for posts.
Your love is my refuge.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Help WVIW Support Oklahoma by giving your prayers and helping us raise money to get supplies to the residents who need it most.
I am going there June 6 to see what we can do. We will be taking 2 truck loads of supplies there on June 29.
We are working with WME and Gate Church in OK City.
We need money for diesel fuel and supplies for the affected residents.
