God’s timing and interaction in our lives are never ending. As Bonnie and I have been going into a new chapter with the Fellowship House in Harrisburg for legislators and friends, we were reminded by this timely message from Dr. Evans about avoiding a “grasshopper mentality.” Israel is ready for the Promise Land but then a few challenges emerge. You will be encouraged and challenged from their experiences which are so applicable for your great adventure today. R.F.
At the tender age of 24 (1973) Tony Evans, was contacted by a radio show producer from Houston (KHCB). This man had contacted Dallas Theological Seminary, where Tony was a junior in the ThM program, asking for great preaching content to put on his program for free. One of Tony’s professors recommended him. Thus began the public broadcasting of Dr. Tony Evans. Recorded in a tiny studio on the seminary campus, Tony spent the next few years faithfully preaching into a microphone for a crowd unseen in Houston.
Nearly a decade later, The Urban Alternative was formed in 1981 when requests for Dr. Evans’ sermons came in so frequently from his Houston and Dallas radio broadcasts that Mrs. Lois Evans, co-founder of the ministry, began fulfilling orders. Mrs. Evans used her business skills to organize, develop and expand the outreach and growth of the ministry.
