Remembering our First Lady, Dr. Lois Evans, December 1, 1949 - December 30, 2019

Thank you for loving the Evans family, and thank you for your ongoing prayers.

We absolutely adored our First Lady, Dr. Lois Evans. To our church family, she was a loyal friend, a devoted sister, a wise mentor, and a spiritual mother. She was our example of faithfulness and obedience to God’s Word and His ministry. Our collection of photos doesn’t come close to conveying the full impact Sister Evans had on the life of our ministry.

Feel free share your thoughts, prayers, and love below.
Thank you for your prayers.

  • Mary Francis says:

    Sis Evans, continue to hold on to the unchanging hands of a good good Father. Our confidence is that He never ever fails. Having walked through these waiting rooms myself I understand fear and uncertainty. Let this fear drive you to choose faith everytime. Inspite of what you see or feel….stay with God. He is “too good to be unkind and too wise to make mistakes.” Please know that you and family are in my prayers. May our Sovereign Lord have His way with you.

    This song blessed me all Easter weekend and today.
    So I thought I would share the lyrics. I know that I know God is able to do anything but fail.

    “God Specializes”
    By Lizz Wright

    “Have you any rivers
    That seem uncrossable?
    And have you any mountain
    That you cannot tunnel through?

    God specializes
    In things thought impossible
    And He will do what no other
    No other power Holy Ghost power can do

    God specializes
    When your
    Is full of disease
    And your medicine
    It don’t give you no ease
    God specializes
    Yeah, God specializes.

    Oh, He specializes
    I still, I still believe
    Oh, the Lord, the Lord,
    And He will
    Oh, what no other power
    No other power
    Holy Ghost power can do.”

    I do not know what you are going through today but He does. Turn it over to Jesus and let Him do His Work.
    God bless you and have a beautiful day in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    You say you working
    Everything for my good
    And I believe every word

    Even in the madness
    There is peace
    Drowning out the voices
    All around me
    Through all of this chaos
    You are writing a symphony

    Thank you Lord for working everything for our good!

  • Derrick Hill says:

    Dear 1st Lady Dr. Lois Evan,

    I pray that you can feel God’s hands and Heaven moving on your behalf. It has been my prayers that God’s Power is present in our lives and it manifest itself through our prayers. I know for myself God is a healer and he doesn’t have respect of person. My brother was diagnosed with a very rare brain cancer at age 16. He a large tumor that made both sides of his neck bulge out. He wasn’t supposed to see 17. He did some radiation and chemo therapy treatments. My parents stood fast on God’s word and proclaimed that my brother wouldn’t
    pass away. They asked the church members to pray. They also asked the church to fast. We had a pet cat and my mother even told us not to feed the cat because the cat had to fast as well. My brother got tired of the treatments and stopped going. The doctors begged my parents to make him return. I remember my father saying “this is his decision” to the doctors. He never went back to the doctor for treatment. The funny part about this was my brother walked in the hospital and walked out after his treatments. Other walked in and were wheelchaired out. My brother took ahold of FAITH and this year he will be cancer free 31 years. AS LONG AS GOD IS ON THE THRONE HIS WORD REMAINS THE SAME. God is a healer and Miracle worker.

    But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are HEALED.. Isaiah 53:5 KJV….

    But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy FAITH hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. Matt 9:22 KJV

    Myself, my wife, my family and friends are believing God and his word for a miracle and we will continue to pray for the entire Evans family and OCBF Family. God Bless you.

  • Michele says:

    Dear Sister Evans,

    Since Dr. Evans shared this news with us, my prayer for you has been the same as Hezekiah’s (2 Kings 20:3); that the Lord would remember how you and Dr. Evans have walked faithfully before Him with wholehearted devotion and did what has been good in His eyes. This scripture so encapsulates your service to the Lord. I have been reminding God daily of your wholehearted devotion. I pray that He would remember you and provide total healing and deliverance. And I do so boldly because this is the confidence I have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His will we know that He hears us. And if He hears us we know that we have what we have asked of Him (1 John 5:14-15). Finally, during my prayer time today the Lord reminded me of The Encounter painting, located at a chapel in Magdala, Israel. I pray for your larger-than-life size faith that would push you to press through, knowing that “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” And that Jesus would say “Daughter, your faith has healed you.” (Matt 9:21-22) He is already on the other side of this. And I absolutely cannot wait to hear your testimony of how He delivered you. God, be glorified!

  • Stephen and Shirley Jones says:

    Dear Sister Evans,

    We stand on the Word of God’s many scriptures for you. Luke 1:37 that we serve the God of the impossible and He still does miracles today. You are truly a Proverbs 31 woman and we appreciate you and Pastor Evans. Abba Father we know you will receive all the Glory in this outcome ; and our prayer requests have been heard in the name of Jesus of Nazareth,

    From our hearts,

    Stephen and Shirley Jones

    • Janice Epps says:

      My prayer for you today sister Evans,

      Dear Lord, we offer to You thanksgiving, and pay our vows to the Most High.
      Call upon Me in the day of trouble,
      I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.
      Psalm 50:14-15. So Father God we pray Your Word back to You and know it will not return void. We call upon You and thank You in advance for delivering Dr. Lois Evans from any cancer cells in her body, and we’ll be sure to give You ALL the glory, in Jesus Name, Amen.
      Praying without ceasing.❤️

  • Mary Bailey Jones says:

    I’m praying with you for complete healing of your body, and that not only your faith will be strengthened, but the faith of the body of Christ, as well, through this time of sickness.

  • E.J. Johnson says:

    Dear Sister Evans. I’ve been a long time follower of your husband since 1998 whom has influenced my spiritual walk. This is a tough time for you and your family but let me encourage you both from someone losing my first wife of non-smoker lung cancer at the age of 55 in 2016 and almost taking my second wife in 2018 at MD Anderson Cancer Center in the same hospital first wife went with the L-rd. Why G-d spared the second in not the first? I deeply believed that we had many churches in a few States praying without ceasing as Hezekiah turned to the wall. I share Tony’s emotions. I asked G-d zillion times WHY now and WHY select the worse disease to inflict? If I could share in-person to encourage and give you hope with my testimony, I am available. Enclosing a short version of my testimony.

    To our beautiful First Lady sister Evans, I keep you lifted daily and as your son Jonathan said so commanding like in his message today; I have my banner on too!
    God’s Word says in Psalm 116:7
    Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
    So I’m thanking God for His bountiful healing of your body. There is still work that He has for you to do here in this earthly realm.
    God keep you and your family in His loving care.
