Former Construction Executive Transforms Career into Full-Time Ministry Service

Jerry Lewis has redefined career transition by moving from a successful construction business to dedicated ministry work, showcasing how professional expertise can serve charitable purposes. After building a multi-million-dollar construction company over two decades in Texas, Lewis now applies his practical skills to support religious and community organizations without compensation.

Lewis's ministry philosophy centers on the belief that service begins in everyday settings rather than formal religious gatherings. This approach has taken him internationally, including assisting missionaries with facility construction in Mexico and advising community development projects in Ghana. His work demonstrates how technical skills can directly support charitable missions and community development efforts.

Currently, Lewis provides pro bono consulting to a congregation facing property loss due to a Texas Department of Transportation project. Serving as their advocate, he helps navigate negotiations to secure fair compensation and preserve the congregation's operational capacity. This charitable advocacy protects vulnerable religious organizations from displacement while ensuring their continued community service.

Beyond professional consulting, Lewis engages in personal charitable work, including assisting strangers in need, providing resources to those without means, mentoring young men through health challenges, and supporting families during tragedies. His holistic approach to ministry combines practical assistance with emotional and spiritual support, creating comprehensive impact.

At home, Lewis maintains the same charitable principles as a devoted father, emphasizing that family stability contributes to one's ability to serve others effectively. His consistent message focuses on loving God and loving people, making his life testimony about service to others and dedication to charitable principles that extend beyond professional boundaries into all aspects of life.
