“I was born in the middle of the last century. However, the older I get, the more excited and enthusiastic I am about studying and teaching the Bible. I owe so much to so many who have taught me and I simply want to share what I have been given wherever He takes me.” Born and raised in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, formal education took Desi through Ballymena Academy, on to the University of Ulster then Westminster and Princeton Theological seminaries in the USA. After seven years of pastoral ministry, three in Canada and four in Belfast, Desi began two decades of teaching at Belfast Bible College. Desi remains a senior teaching fellow of the college.
