Tim was raised in Moore, Oklahoma where he accepted Christ at the age of twelve. Tim, along with his brother, started Lewis Jewelers when he was 19. They took turns running the store and attending the University of Oklahoma. It was there at OU that Tim met his wife and best friend, Julie. Tim and Julie were married in 1980, and are the proud parents of Burke and his wife Kristin, and Megan and her husband, Stephen. Tim’s greatest joy is seeing his children follow Jesus and work in his service.
