Founder & Co-Founder & Board Members of Earthly Dwellings

Meet David & Julie Lewis

David and Julie Lewis have been married  for 17 years and have 4 children and 8 grandchildren.  Together they have been with GoLife Mobile Medical for 4 years with David as CEO and Julie as Norman Director.  As the founders of Earthly Dwellings, Inc.  they continue to grow in faith that God will use them to change lives.   

 

After 40 years of a diverse oil and gas career and entrepreneurial ventures, David felt God's calling to change his focus to fully serve Him.  “As I look back over my life, it is obvious that God was orchestrating my steps.”  Even through the many self-serving years, He was there working to reposition David to make a difference.  All those past years God was  giving David insight while creating  the passion for assembling a team of like minded individuals to bring about rebuilding community, healing and restoration through Earthly Dwellings, Communities of Hope. 

 

“The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.”
