 Our aim is
to present Christ from all the Scriptures

 to inform, enthuse and encourage people through teaching

 to help believers grow in appreciation of where we all fit into God’s big plan

 to serve God’s people wherever there is a readiness to explore God’s Word

 to promote a deeper understanding of the text by creating an awareness of the Jewish background

Desi Maxwell says:

“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.

  
Desi says, “I have discovered the truth of the old adage that you never learn until you teach and my learning has been enriched by opportunities in Eastern Europe, Africa, Central Asia and North America as well as all over the British Isles.”

As a devout family man, Desi’s ministry has been richly enhanced by the three ladies in his life who are an unfailing source of love and practical support: Heather, Desi’s wife and adult daughters Rachel and Vicky.
