"The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes.  He is close to those who trust in Him."

Nahum 1:7

Speaker:
Bob Mortimer


At the age of 13, Bob Mortimer found his father dead of a drug overdose, and fell into the same lifestyle.

After an auto accident in which he received no injuries, Bob lost three limbs as a result of an encounter with five downed power lines which caused 12,500 volts of electricity to surge through his body.  He endured six month of recuperation and rehabilitation, and returned to the only world he knew - drinking and drugs.

A triple amputee at twenty-five, he was invited to church, where he heard the good news of Jesus Christ for the first time.  When the invitation was given by the pastor, he rolled his wheelchair to the front of the church and repented of his party lifestyle and hard heart, and surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.

Bob travels around the country, speaking several hundred times a year to school assemblies, community organization, prisons, and churches, ministering with a message of hope borne out of horrible tragedy.

In 2008 Bob and his family cycles from Gig Harbor, Washington Statue of Liberty in New York City, crossing the United States to bring a message of "Hope and Courage Across America."

Bob wrote in his travel blog at the end of the trip: "Four months, a dozen states, and a couple of thousand miles after we left Gig Harbor we reached our destination.  The Statue of Liberty.  What have we learned? A lot. But I will condense it to two things for you now.  One... life is experienced in the journey, not the destination, and two... its not about the miles, its about the Message."

Bob will be participating in the Youth Event Tuesday evening, May 4th at Allegany High School.  He will be speaking at the community service at Central Assembly, 2020 Bedford St, on Wednesday, May 5th and at the Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, May 6th at the Holiday Inn.
