Some words from poimenministries.com:
“In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the privilege of speaking with Pastor Dale Lewis, a man whose life and ministry have been profoundly shaped by his unique journey of faith. Pastor Dale shares his story, one that begins with a challenging childhood and evolves into a life dedicated to spiritual mentorship and leadership.
Growing up without a father, Dale’s early years were marked by a search for meaning and belonging. His journey took a transformative turn when he encountered the Gospel of John, a moment that ignited a lifelong hunger for the Word of God. This pivotal experience set the stage for his future ministry, where he would go on to pastor two Calvary Chapel churches and become a mentor to many.
Pastor Dale’s approach to ministry is deeply relational, emphasizing the importance of discipleship and intentionality. He shares how his upbringing, though difficult, created a vacuum that was filled by a deep desire to connect with his Heavenly Father. This connection fueled his passion for the Scriptures and his commitment to sharing what he learned with others.
One of the most compelling aspects of Pastor Dale’s story is his dedication to making Bible resources accessible to pastors and Christians worldwide. Through his project, Scripturesupply.com, he provides Bible study commentary in 103 languages, free of charge. This initiative reflects his heart for equipping others and ensuring that the Word of God is available to all, regardless of language or location.
In addition to his ministry work, Pastor Dale shares a personal story of love and obedience. After the passing of his first wife, Donna, he experienced a God-ordained journey to remarriage that defied conventional expectations. This story of faith and trust in God’s plan is both heartwarming and inspiring.
Throughout the episode, Pastor Dale emphasizes the importance of being intentional in ministry, particularly in the area of succession planning and mentoring future leaders. His insights are invaluable for pastors and leaders seeking to make a lasting impact in their communities.
