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.
So sorry for your loss. I watched your memorial service and thanked God for the ministering that took place even at the funeral! What a blessing. I’ve been praying for your family and it seems as though God has answered ALL prayers. Thank you for sharing the love.
Great example of a role model we as Believers should model. Based on the accomplishments she made as a Child of God, wife, mother, sister, child and friend. Well Done!!!
My sincere condolences to The Evans. Sending prayers for peace, strength and comfort, cherish the wonderful memories. Blessings
Psalms 116:15 (NKJV) Precious in the sight of the LORD [Is] the death of His saints.
Truly Dr. Lois Evans led a life well lived and now has gone to her heavenly reward. Love, hugs and prayers to Dr. Tony Evans, her children and the OCBF family during this time of great loss. The above Psalm gave me great comfort during my time of grief. I’m also glad we don’t grieve without hope because of Christ.
What a BEAUTIFUL Inspiring Home-Going Gathering for Dr. Lois Evans Today: The music, the voices, and especially the love… a true picture of how one entire family has honored our heavenly Father even through generations!!
I’ve been listening to the teaching of Dr. Tony Evans since I was a Moody-Radio broadcaster for the Atlanta station, in which we aired his sermons each day. Loved him then and love him now! And Wow, the eulogy given by Jonathan Evans today was like nothing I’ve ever heard before… So-Many-Gems he brought us in his message… if only I could hear it over and over again, for it touched the core of my soul! Thank you, Jonathan, what a gift from God you’ve been given. All four of the Evans children are a blessing to their parents, family and anyone who’s familiar with Dr’s Tony and Lois Evans. Thanks to ALL your family for sharing your example of how it’s done!
Dr. Lois, you will be sorely missed by all who knew you and knew of you. I for one, look forward to meeting you on that beautiful shore!
Until then…
Words are quite simply inadequate. Sister Evans personified for me the Grace of God. She was everything the fruit of the spirit is designed to produce;
Galatians 5 22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance:
Her life is an inspiration – I cannot say was as to me her life and legacy are still very present and live on.
I will miss her day to day presence I will live with her legacy and give God the Glory!
Words really can’t express how much we as a church family will miss our beautiful First Lady Dr. Lois Evans. What a beautiful spirit The Lord has with Him now. I send my deepest condolences to you because I love you all from the choir stand and always will.
What a beyond beautiful home going today and what an honor and a privilege to serve God at OCBF and most certainly to sing at your mother/wife’s home going celebration.
Pastor Evans said we’re sad but she’s happy and oh so true that is. I find comfort in knowing she is with Jesus with a job well done.
I’m still praying for you all.❤️
Well done beautiful woman of God! You are and will be sorely missed but the amount of joy in heaven overshadows and means much more than the sorrows on earth. You left a powerful legacy and completed your assignment. Your family walks in grace and there are pieces of you in every single one of them. You were absolutely honored and celebrated today. Thank you God for sacrificing your son. Thank you for what you did in the life of Dr. Lois Evans and thank you that you gave her a spiritual body that will never ever break down. Be blessed. It’ll be a joy when the family of God is finally together for eternity. Praying for the fruits of the spirit to rest on any and everyone that was connected to you. It shall be well! Amen.
My Deepest Sympathy to the Evans Family. My Heart Felt Prayers goes out to the Entire Family. I have had the Privilege and Honor of being in Priscilla and Anthony presents at many conference.always blessing knowing that God will meet you wherever you are in life. all you have to do is trust and believe. just have faith the size of a mustard seed.Mrs./First Lady Evans left a Legacy all you have to do is live it out.

Hello and Blessings,
Dr. Lois Evans’s home going celebration was very touching and spiritually led. It was awesome to see how many lives she touched and what she meant to so many people . Thank you Dr. Tony Evans, the Family and OakCliff Bible Fellowship for sharing her life a legacy with us. God bless you!
Our prayers are with you. As children of God we know our destiny. She has been healed & praising out Lord & Savior. Beautiful Soul & such a blessing to all she has touched.
The prescription was written by a Dr.
The scripture was written by man inspired by God.
When the prescription failed!! The scripture Worked until the end , and it’s yet work for you and the family. When David mourn for the death of his son I believe the word said’ when HE finished mourning HE got up changed his apparel and went into the House of Worship!! Please worship your way, praise your way , and preach your way into Him presents…. pray and love your family
Here is what someone shared with me about grief an old man posted this on redit and it helped me after I lost my father to cancer on December 9, 2019. I hope this helps anyone who grieves the loss of a loved one.
Alright, here goes. I’m old. What that means is that I’ve survived (so far) and a lot of people I’ve known and loved did not. I’ve lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can’t imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here’s my two cents.
I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don’t want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don’t want it to “not matter”. I don’t want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can’t see.
As for grief, you’ll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you’re drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it’s some physical thing. Maybe it’s a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it’s a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.
In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don’t even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you’ll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what’s going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything…and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.
Somewhere down the line, and it’s different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall, or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O’Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you’ll come out.
Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don’t really want them to. But you learn that you’ll survive them. And other waves will come. And you’ll survive them too. If you’re lucky, you’ll have lots of scars from lots of loves, and lots of shipwrecks.
Praying for you and your family in your time of sadness and loss! Please know that I am walking out my ministry in part, because of your family and especially your visible love of God and His word! Keep the word coming, please! God’s will and Blessings to you all!❤️
Evan’s family, keep the faith. Grieve, be sad or even get angry for a while. But don’t stay in this mind set too long. God loves all of you and so do the OCBF church family. We need you!
To the Evans family my prays is with you’ll .Keep the faith and be strong . Dr Evans continue to be strong and hold on to God hand because he promise to never leave . To the children hold on to the word of GOD and take care of your dad. I am praying for each of you. A proverb 31 woman, a wife , a mother ,grandmother is with the Lord no more pain of suffering she has a brand new body.
Much love and pray
Sister in Christ

Dr. Tony Evans, Family, and Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship may God continue to Bless you and my He keep you in His tender love and care.
Father God, we pray for this family during this hour of the bereavement, but we know Sister Lois is with you in Heaven. I Corinthians 1:21 says, to live is CHRIST
to die is gain. She was in a win-win situation and now is no longer in pain
on this side of the Jordan. Our prayers will continue to be with Rev. Dr. Evans,
losing a Parent and his Spouse within six months—I experienced it, and GOD
is still carrying me! Amen to this praying, GOD-loving Family!
What a beautiful HomeGoing Tribute to your Wife, Mother, Gmother,
Sister, and Friend.

Being from Maryland, I got the opportunity to attend Oak Cliff with my Sister and her family, who were members at one time. We would attend the Visitors Reception and it was there that I met Dr. Lois Evans, and what a gracious woman she was. Very personable and approachable. And yes, she looked good. I am sending my sincere condolences to the Evans family. I just want the Evans family to know that my heart hurts for you, but I know that to be absent in body is to be with the Lord. I know she is singing and praising God and in that I know you are rejoicing. God bless you all.
Because of our mother’s health, my Sister and her family moved back to the DC area in 2008. She still speaks about missing her church family at Oak Cliff.
What a great and mighty God we serve.
Such amazing legacy for a beautiful daughter of The King.
‘When you ask/wonder how we wave, it is because of the wind behind us.’
Extraordinary homegoing, blessed my life to witness via streaming … Lord, let my life fulfill your purpose for my generation, in Jesus Name.
Prayers for comfort and peace to Family and Church in days to come.
May God continue to bless you richly.
