Dr. Bevelyn
Dr. Bevelyn A. Jones works with her husband, Archbishop David A. Jones, as founder of MTI Network, providing leadership, counsel and bold new insignts on the teachings of "New Thought". Dr. Bevelyn Jones has served in ministry with her husband for 50 plus years, pastoring for more than 40 years.
Dr. Jones currently holds an Associate of Science Degree in Business Information Systems, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Operations Management, and is the proud recipient of an Honorary Doctoral Degree of Humanities from Blessed Hope Bible College in Tampa, FL.
Dr. Jones is a native of Miami, FL. She moved to Orlando, FL in 1970 where she met her husband, Archbishop Dr. David A. Jones. They have been married for 52 years, and have been blessed to have 7 children, 23 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
Dr. Jones is a listening ear for the hurts of men and women, and has a powerful personal testimony of triumph over tragedy and trial. She is the living embodiment of Psalms 30:11, He'll turn mourning into singing, and will take your ashes and give you beauty. To every one that she ministers to, Dr. Jones is one of God's hidden treasures.
Before sharing her heart with the hurting and the wounded, Dr. Jones had many challenges in her own life. She was a total introvert. So for many years she lost herself in the songs. At age 9 years, she began singing as special guest on programs for the Boyer Brothers out of Apopka and Orlando, FL., and opened for Evangelist Shirley Ceasar, to name a few. At age 14, she met Rev. Milton Biggham, a 19 year old local musician who became the musician for their group, The Pilgrim Gospel Stars of Miami, FL, and who would later work with likes of Kirk Franklin and Whitney Houston. Dr. Bevelyn sang again with Rev. Biggham in the Tampa Bay area group, The Gospel Faith Increasers, that included Helena Barrington, Janice Nunn Nelson, Rev. Earl Bernard Mason, Rev. Authur Jones and others. The group later merged with others to form the Tampa Mass Choir, which became an intricate part of the Florida Mass Choir.
Many years passed by with her being unfulfilled and trying to discover her real purpose in life. It was only until she became so tired of being locked up inside and realized that there is a better way, that she began to say yes to the will of the Lord.
She said once in her message; "If I should seek to be a millionaire, I don't want someone who only has $20,000 in their bank account to tell me how to make a million dollars." The same with ministry. As she ministered to a crowd, she stated; "I need somebody who has been down in a pit (Lo-debar) to tell me how they got out of the pit. I want someone who has been in a fire, to tell me how to get out of the fire. I didn't find God as some would say. He was inside of me all the time. Before I was in my mother's womb, he knew who I was and the purpose and plan in life he had destined for me. I am just so glad He waited for me to make up my mind to serve Him. And I promised the Lord; despite the Asthma or any other minor inconveniences, that I would serve him all the days of my life."
