"Failure is not final in grace..." -Des Evans

"If you can't find contentment in Jesus, the problem is with you, not with Him." -Des Evans

It started as a MOVEMENT in Jerusalem, became a PHILOSOPHY in Greece, evolved into an INSTITUTION in Rome, became a CULTURE in Europe and is now an ENTERPRISE in the US - what is it? CHRISTIANITY. May the Lord return us to being a MOVEMENT in our day and time. -Des Evans

Desmond T. Evans was born in a small mining village in South Wales, UK, where the residue of the Welsh Revival remained active. His father a pastor, Des was brought up in a little chapel which was part of the Pentecostal legacy which pervaded that part of the world.

After serving in ministry in the UK, Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the United States, Des and Mary moved to Texas in November 1976 to pastor Bethesda Community Church. Des served the fellowship for over 34 years as Senior Pastor and upon his retirement was named Pastor Emeritus.

Pastor Des went home to be with Jesus on Christmas Eve 2019. Though we mourn his passing and miss him dearly, we are thrilled his legacy lives on through this digital library of his incredible teaching, and it is with great joy we make it available to you. To the utter delight of the fellowship, Des’ wife, Mary, remains an active part of Bethesda Church.
