Gordon Hesketh is a native Canadian who immigrated to Texas with his parents at the age of six. He served in the US Navy during the Viet Nam conflict. He later graduated with Honors from Tennessee Temple University in 1975, majoring in Bible, Theology, and Missions. He and his family later returned to Houston, Texas to pursue his career in Information Technology. He and his first wife, Brenda, together raised 7 children who are each fulfilling their God-given destiny.
Gordon has served in various teaching roles in various denominations over the years. He has served as Training Union Director and Instructor; adult and youth Sunday School teacher; Youth Advisor; and street preacher and evangelist. He has often been invited to fill pulpits in the absence of his Pastor.
As IT Director at LCEC for 17+ years before retiring, Gordon took responsibility for implementing all network and internet technology from the day the World-wide-web was first made public. He created and maintained the LCEC corporate website until 2004.
He founded his own web hosting company in 1996, initially to host his new wife’s website (Karan’s Korner) about their quest to find a cure for her Multiple Sclerosis. He later took on clients to pay the server costs. During these years, Gordon became a prolific writer of web content from his extensive research on the subject of health and medicine, specifically MS.
In 2000, he founded Digital Evangelism to assist churches in utilizing the internet as an effective tool for advancing the Gospel and keeping members informed. Many churches purchased Digital Evangelism’s Member’s Community product and consulting services.
By 2005, many new companies began assisting churches in internet strategies. To pursue his passion for teaching and writing, Gordon restructured Digital Evangelism into a ministry dedicated to spreading the truly Good News of the Gospel through digital (and print) media. (This blog is one of the ways he shares truth with other seekers. He has also written 2 books.)
He later passed on his web hosting company to Left Lane Designs, a professional graphic design company owned by his son, Shawn.
In 2005, after 35 years in the IT industry, Gordon retired from full-time employment in order to pursue his writing and teaching passion. He now works part-time as an IT Consultant. LCEC is one of his clients.
A gifted teacher of the Word of God, and a former leader of a home church, Gordon is available for speaking engagements. Contact him for details and scheduling:
