Early life

Evans was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on June 30, 1947, to a non-practicing Jewish mother whose parents were immigrants from the Soviet Union. His father was a violent alcoholic and wife beater. At age 11, Evans objected to his father beating his mother, and was assaulted; when he recovered, he had what he describes as a dramatic encounter with Jesus Christ, who promised him a future.
Michael Evans is married to Carolyn, founder of the Christian Woman of the Year Association. They have four children and nine grandchildren.

Career

Evans is the founder of several organizations including the Friends of Zion Heritage Center and Museum in Jerusalem, the Corrie ten Boom Museum Haarlem, the Netherlands, and the Jerusalem Prayer Team. He also writes articles for the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Wall Street Journal, Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post. In 1977, Evans headed B'nai Yeshua, a "Hebrew Christian" group, which was active on college campuses. A campaign charging Jews for Jesus, the B’nai Yeshua and other so-called Hebrew-Christion movements with subterfuge in Long Island resulted in media coverage. Bloggers simultaneously praise Evans for his pro-Israel activism while warning of a possible hidden agenda. In Jerusalem in 2013, Evans was careful not to mention anything other than his desire to represent Christian Zionists "who love the Jewish people".
In October 2024, Evans hosted a solidarity event in Jerusalem commemorating the October 7, 2023, attacks.

Ten Boom Fellowship

Mike Evans purchased and restored the Corrie ten Boom house in 1983. It is a museum dedicated to telling the story of ten Boom's family, which harbored, fed, and found safe houses for as many as 800 Jews during the Nazi takeover of the Netherlands during World War II. After purchasing and restoring the house, Mike Evans created the Corrie ten Boom Fellowship, a Christian Zionist organization.

Friends of Zion Heritage Center

In 2015, Evans founded the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem with the purpose of highlighting religious tolerance and dialogue between Christian Zionism and the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Israel's ninth president, Shimon Peres, was the international chairman of Friends of Zion and the founder of the Friends of Zion Award to honor outstanding support for Israel.

Jerusalem Prayer Team

In 2002, Mike Evans began the Jerusalem Prayer Team, which raised money for Ehud Olmert's New Jerusalem Foundation. The Jerusalem Prayer Team funded the construction of the Mike Evans Museum in Jerusalem, officially known as The Friends of Zion Heritage Center.

Relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu

Evans has known Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the early 1980s. In June 2021, Benjamin Netanyahu was replaced as prime minister by Naftali Bennett of the Yamina party. The following month, Evans told a press conference at a Jerusalem hotel: "Bibi Netanyahu is the only man in the world who unites evangelicals." In a blog post for The Times of Israel, he also compared members of the parties that comprised the unity government to "rabid dogs" who wish to "crucify" Netanyahu. This public attack on the new government dented Evans's reputation and influence in Israel. Danny Ayalon, a former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., told Foreign Policy, " may be a friend of Bibi Netanyahu, but it did not give him the right to do what he did."
