Cruise with Tony Evans Canceled After Ministry Departure
The Urban Alternative has canceled their scheduled cruise down the Mexican Riviera with Tony Evans.
Evans stepped away from the ministry due to past “sin.” Now, his ministry, The Urban Alternative, has decided to cancel his upcoming ministry cruise.
The Urban Alternative said in a statement to The Roys Report:
Following the announcement that Dr. Tony Evans will be stepping away from his senior pastoral duties at OCBF (Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas), and as he pursues the healing and restoration process established by the elders, The Urban Alternative has decided it would be best to cancel the Mexican Riviera Cruise with Tony Evans.”
The cruise was scheduled for November 9-16, with rooms as expensive as $3,900 per person. Evans’ cruise was through Inspiration Travel, which focuses on unique travel destinations for Christians.

According to their site, Inspiration Travel works “as pioneers in the world of Christian travel,” and that their “faith-focused travel experiences help you disconnect from the everyday to connect with God and others in the best places on Earth.”
No specific reason was given as to why Evans was leaving ministry other than that he “fell short.”
“The foundation of our ministry has always been our commitment to the Word of God as the absolute supreme standard of truth to which we are to conform our lives,” a statement by Evans read.
“A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard. I am, therefore, required to apply the same biblical standard of repentance and restoration to myself that I have applied to others,” it continued.
It is Evans’ hope that this time of stepping down from ministry will “afford me a needed time of spiritual recovery and healing.”
