Pastor Ron Lewis at the SCTNOW New York Walk
September 27, 2009 New York, NY – History was made across the United States and in Canada today when nearly 10,000 people in 40 cities united to show their support for the fight against the global child sex trafficking endemic. The event was organized by Stop Child Trafficking Now, a one-of-a-kind campaign that was founded by Pastor Ron Lewis and his wife Lynette. SCTNow engages in activism and fundraising to generate resources that target source of child trafficking: predators who drive the sex industry everywhere in the world, including in our own local communities. The funds raised from this campaign will go to equip highly trained special operatives teams tasked with finding the sexual predators that pay for child sex slaves, gather evidence and present gift-wrapped cases to those who can bring them to justice. The special operatives teams will be comprised primarily of retired Navy Seals and other retired special ops and counter terrorism experts. While most funds are focused on the stopping the demand side, other resources are being given to partner organizations focused on the victims. For example, 23 former female victims in Cambodia were given jobs to make tote bags as incentives for the National Campaign. Continued.... 
The African Children's Choir
March 17, 2007 Durham, NC-- Statistics state that by 2010 there will be an estimated 18 million AIDS orphans in Africa. The African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF) reports that despite concerted efforts to put an end to it, the HIV/AIDS pandemic remains a global disaster. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) harbors nearly 65% of the estimated 40.3 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the world in 2005. While general awareness about HIV and its causes is almost universal in most of SSA, transmission has not abated, AMREF further reports. Continued....

May 14, 2006 New York, NY --- In 1948, the people of Israel miraculously
became a nation once again. On May 14, 2006, Morning Star New York commemorated
Israeli Independence Day with a special celebration hosted by Senior Pastor
Ron & his wife, Lynette Lewis. Dubbed "Bless Israel Night,"
the event not only feted Israel's 58th year as a nation.
The night also opened a major door for MSNY to begin seriously building
bridges with one of New York City's most important cultures - the Jewish
people.
New York City is a world capital of Jewish culture. More than 1.4 million Jewish people live in NYC - more than twice as high as the Jewish population in Jerusalem, the largest city in Israel.
The night was a humble yet promising beginning of reconciliation between the multi-ethnic members of MSNY and the Jewish people. Many of the congregation's members brought their Jewish friends and colleagues, and were especially pleased to receive the Consul for Public Affairs at the Consulate General of Israel in New York, Amir Ofek, who graciously replied to the invitation.

For More Inspiring Stories of Servants in the Spotlight: Jamie Lathan, KPIC Member Receives A Presidential Award |
June 11 , 2008 New York, NY --- On February 7, 2008, Bob Fu, president of the China Aid Association and close friend and colleague of Pastor Ron Lewis, was presented with the 2007 John Leland Religious Liberty Award "for courageously defending the right of all people to exercise freely their religious faith" at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The award, which recognizes individuals who have made a significant contribution to the cause of religious liberty, was presented by Dr. Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) co-hosted the ceremony. Congressman Franks serves as co-chair of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus' Force for International Religious Freedom.
The ERLC chose Fu to receive this year's award based on his steadfast ministry and involvement with the Chinese Christian community. In China, Fu served as a leader for the People's University of Beijing student democracy movement, which tragically ended in the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4, 1989. Following this government suppression of calls for political reform, he became a pastor of a house church in China. Shortly after beginning this church, he and his wife, Heidi, were arrested and imprisoned for two months
Bob first got connected with Pastor Ron Lewis in the summer of 1995 through a series of divine events that eventually led to the two of them ministering together in the underground house church movement in China. It was on this trip that Pastor Ron first began to see the underground Chinese church's dramatic need for more basic Bible training for its pastors. As a result, Lewis and Fu partnered together to establish an underground training center in China. Shortly thereafter, Pastor Ron then founded Strategic China Initiative to establish more training centers. To date, SCI maintains 20 training centers throughout China, and since its founding, SCI has trained 50,000 leaders in the underground house church movement (current estimates put the total number of Chinese people affiliated with the underground house church movement at 80-90 million). In addition, nearly 1 million Chinese bibles have been distributed through SCI to the house churches. Continued...
Sen. Brownback during his January 2006 visit in New York City (Photos by John Pringle) |
January 8, 2006 New York, NY --- Knowing that New York City is a hub of world leaders and future world changers, Senior Pastor Ron Lewis and the pastoral team at Morning Star New York have come up with various ways to cultivate the leadership gifts and skills of MSNY's members. A particular emphasis is made on leadership development, with many special courses, ministries, and geared towards this important subject.
One of MSNY's most significant leadership development events yet occurred when U.S. Senator Sam Brownback visited the congregation's Sunday evening service last January to speak on leadership principles. Brownback was joined in by the former Rev. Harald Bredesen, a long-time minister to world leaders, and a number of close friends of MSNY family from around the country.
Senator Brownback began by sharing a brief history of his spiritual development. Although he became a Christian at an early age, he now admits that for many years he pursued his faith primarily as a way to earn favor with God and others on his quest to serve in public office. It was not until 1995 to 1996 as a US Congressman that things began to change when he received what he calls "the greatest blessing of my life" - a diagnosis of melanomic skin cancer.
He then described how his battle to overcome cancer resulted in a new
understanding of what it means to truly serve God. By accepting God's
challenge to face his disease and to trust that God would take care of
the situation, Senator Brownback came to appreciate what the Bible means
when it exhorts us to "die to ourselves." (Rom 14:7). By learning
to respond to hardship with rejoicing rather than fear and doubt, Sen.
Brownback can now see God's power operating in his life like never before.

| Pursuing the Call for the Youth of Scotland | |
June 28, 2007 Edinburgh, Scotland --- On June 28, Pastor Ron Lewis' oldest son Nathan graduated with the degree of Masters of Divinity with Honours from the University of For instance, as each graduate receives his diploma, the Vice-Chancellor confers the degree by touching the head of the graduate with the graduation “cap.” Popular legend has it that the cap was originally made using the cloth from the breeches of John Knox, the famous theologian and reformer from the 1500’s. It is often noted that Mary, Queen of Scots, feared John Knox and his preaching more than all the armies of Europe. Nathan will be following a similar path to his Dad’s, working full-time for the Every Nation Church of Edinburgh leading the youth ministry. The youth of Scotland seldom have a relevant church expression and Nathan is passionate about bringing God’s love and Truth to a generation without hope. Surrounding the graduation, the Lewis family spent a week in Edinburgh ministering in youth outreach events and in the church services, while also enjoying fish ‘n chips and sticky toffee pudding, staples of the local Scottish fare. |
