Curtis Lewis Special Deputy

Tuesday at 12:00 pm Curtis Lewis becomes a Special Deputy in the Monroe County Sheriff Department. His work with the youth throughout the years teaching the ways of the Lord through Gods word, has inspired many to become Sheriffs in Monroe County. As Curt has told many when he was asked what his relationship was to these Sheriffs, "I'm their mentor, the guy that kept them on the right side of the bars".

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Timothy 2:2 And the things that you have heard from me among many
witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

We know from Curt's stories of the past, he always wanted to be a Sheriff, but the Lord lead him on another path. The path that he was led on was in the construction industry where Godly comments are not usually heard. For many of these men, Curt was the only Christian that ever witnessed to them. It is amazing that God led Curt in another direction but kept him involved with law enforcement.
With his gift of hospitality TBS Bible Study started 25 years ago and was a blessing from the Lord. With the invitation for all to come to fellowship, all sorts of people came. Curt would say the lame, the blind, and the lowly. Were not just regular people.

Luke 14:13
But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

Then calls in the middle of the night asking Curt for help after being arrested and Curt calling on his brethren Sheriff's for advise and help. This was Curt, always on call and his home always open. Curt, you sir, have been a blessing not only for TBS brothers and their families but to the entire community. We thank you and love you.

We would like to thank Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn for honoring a man who has encouraged Christian men to join law enforcement.

Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn will be issuing a Sheriffs Badge to Curtis Lewis at 12:00 pm (noon) on July 8, 2008 at 2510 Manitou Road, Gates, NY 14624.

Please join us for this happy and special occasion. Parking is at Lugias parking lot.

Psalms 146:5
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
Amen.
