Ernest Walton-Lewsey, 1914-2007
Alan Vogt
It is not given to many men to have two spheres of missionary service during their lifetime, but it was given to Ernest Walton-Lewsey.
Born on January 27 1914 in NW London, he was an only child and remained all his life a ‘lone ranger’. He never married. He did not come from a Christian home, but came under the influence of a godly grandmother. ‘I set out to know for myself the God she so deeply loved’, he wrote. At 12 years old he gave his life to Christ at a meeting at Spurgeon’s Tabernacle, saying, ‘I will serve you, Lord, never wanting anything for myself’.
