Bishop J. Richard Evans was not just a pastor, husband, and father—he was a world leader and a spiritual giant whose influence transcended boundaries. As the co-founder of Divine Restoration Ministries, alongside his wife, Lady Tenisia Evans, Bishop Evans dedicated his life to advancing the Kingdom of God since 1998. His journey was a testament to unwavering faith, humility, and a commitment to serve. From humble beginnings as a parking lot attendant and an armor bearer for his pastor, Bishop Evans rose through the ranks of ministry with diligence and a servant’s heart. He became a youth pastor and eventually a bishop who served under and alongside great men and women of God. His wisdom, prophetic accuracy, and dedication to God’s work earned him the respect of countless pastors, bishops, apostles, and leaders around the world. He was truly a “bishop’s bishop,” a mentor and spiritual covering to many. As an eagle-eyed prophet, Bishop Evans was known for his incredible ability to see what others could not and to declare God’s Word with boldness and precision. When he spoke, his words carried weight, and what he saw in the Spirit came to pass.

 

His life reflected the heart of a shepherd, the vision of a prophet, and the unwavering faith of a servant of God. Beyond the pulpit, Bishop Evans was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather who prioritized his family. His wisdom and knowledge impacted not only his household but also the countless lives he touched through his ministry. At Divine Restoration Ministries, we are committed to continuing Bishop Evans’ powerful legacy.
