“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Mat 28:19)

BES: The Organization
Located in Columbus, Ohio, Besserat Evangelical Society, BES, is a non-denominational and biblical outreach ministry. BES dates back to 1982. While it was the vision of one person, Dr Bahram Fessehazion, that brought it into existence, it took the subsequent, persistent, cooperative endeavor of others to cultivate it to grow and flourish to what it is today.


The vision to spread the Good News of the Gospel, Besserat, of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to his people and the longing of a fellowship among his people were the impetus that made Dr Bahram Fessehazion respond to the call and envision the organization of Besserat Evangelical Society.



BES’s first annual conference that was held in Columbus, Ohio in 1983 included some fifty people. Now BES is known by thousands of Eritreans all over the world.
