Stepping Stones

It is Gareth Evans's reflection on over fifty years of walking with the Lord, telling how God guided his path through teaching, missionary work, and ministry. Through a series of engaging stories, Evans shows the impact of faith, obedience, and divine intervention across his life, and encourages readers to recognise and trust God's own plan for theirs.

Gareth Evans is a Bible teacher, preacher, and missionary who has walked with the Lord for over fifty years, serving through teaching and ministry in various places. Stepping Stones is his memoir of that journey, recounting how God led him step by step through a long life of faith and service.

It pictures a life led by God one step at a time — each experience a stone laid down to carry him across to the next. Evans looks back over fifty years and sees how God set these 'stepping stones' in place, guiding his path through decisions, opportunities, and providences, and the title frames his story as a journey directed by God.

The course of Evans's life and ministry — his early journey of faith, his teaching, missionary work including time in Asia, God's provision at key moments, a call to Africa, and the founding and growth of ministry. Through these episodes he traces how faith, obedience, and God's intervention shaped a long life of service.

That God has a plan for each life and can be trusted to guide it, step by step. By recounting how God led him through fifty years, Evans encourages readers to look for God's hand in their own story and to trust his leading — showing that a life of faith and obedience is one God directs and provides for.

Yes — Evans recounts concrete instances of God's guidance and provision, including moments captured in chapter themes like 'Jehovah Jireh – Our Provider' and 'I Will Go Before You.' These stories illustrate divine intervention in real circumstances, reinforcing the book's encouragement to trust God for one's own needs and direction.

For any Christian who wants to be encouraged to trust God's plan and to see his hand in the ordinary course of a life. As a memoir of faith and obedience over fifty years, it especially helps readers who are facing decisions or uncertainty, showing through one man's journey how God leads those who follow him.

At the beginning, following Evans's journey in order as one stepping stone leads to the next. Because it is a memoir tracing a life of God's guidance from its early days onward, it rewards being read in sequence, so the reader can see the whole path God laid out over fifty years.
