Beth Biesel is a local grassroots activist who currently serves with David Carruth as a co-leader of the Park Cities Preston Hollow Leadership Forum. She has been with the PCPH Leadership Forum since its founding in 2009. Beth is also an active member of Dallas Eagle Forum and Park Cities Republican Women’s Club. During the 83rd Legislative Session, Beth worked with Cathie Adams and Texas Eagle Forum as the Legislative Coordinator for lobbying against the Smart Meter deployment in Texas. As a Heritage Action Sentinel for the past 18 months, Beth has worked with Heritage Action to influence members of Congress to uphold the constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, free markets, the rule of law, and national sovereignty. Beth and her husband, Bill, live in University Park. She is the mother of 3 college-age children. While she considers herself to be a wife and mother first, she is passionate about connecting biblical principles with public policy. When the two don’t match up, and when the god of government attempts to usurp the God of the Bible, she is unrelenting in her determination to call out the errors and weaknesses of unbiblical views in civil government. “Things become very clear when Scripture is the ultimate authority,” says Biesel.

Betty Hanks is a survivor of years of horrible abuse in her family home. Nearly 11 years ago, God began to work in Betty's heart, to show her her value in His eyes and to walk her through the painful process of healing those wounds. It has been a long, painful journey, but nearly 8 years ago, Betty felt a call to minister to others who suffered they way she had. Since then, she has mentored and shepherded women who are looking for healing. God has been faithful to walk with Betty throughout all the years of her life, and she is blessed and privileged to lead women to experience the healing power of God as she has. Betty is married to her high school sweetheart, Steven, and they have an 21-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old son, and a 1-year-old grandson.

Bev DeSalvo was born in a small town in Louisiana and attended Louisiana State University where she majored in education. After marrying her college sweetheart, Gary, she taught elementary school in Dallas, Texas while Gary attended Dallas Theological Seminary. After seminary, Bev and Gary moved to Temple, Texas where Gary was the senior pastor of Temple Bible Church for 38 years until he passed away in August 2019 after a six-year battle with Ocular Melanoma. By God’s grace, they were privileged to watch TBC grow from 40 people to over 3000 during this time. Bev was the Director of Women's Ministries at Temple Bible Church for six years and a former corporate chaplain for Market Place Ministries. She has taught Bible studies and spoken at women's conferences and in prisons in the U.S. and internationally, in countries as diverse as Brazil, France, Republic of Georgia, Ukraine, Romania, Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya and South Africa. Bev describes herself as a worshiping woman who has experienced the healing comfort of God’s presence in the good times and bad on the broken road of life. Raised in an abusive home that created a deep fear of intimacy, God has used her pain as a magnet to draw her to His heart. In this safe place, she is now finding healing, yet again. Believing that God can use her pain to encourage others, she takes this message of hope to hurting women all over the world. Her book, Return to Joy, published by NavPress, has been taught in churches and prisons in the US and Ukraine. Presently, there is a group of 50 women in war-torn Ukraine studying the Russian translation. Bev now resides in College Station, Texas where she enjoys spending time with her two adult children and their families. Having felt called to ministry as a teen even though she wasn’t raised in a Christian home, her ministry looks far different than she planned for this season of life. She currently leads GriefShare at Grace Bible Church, and a Hope Gathering group for widows, as well as mentoring women one on one. She finds this life giving and hopes to spend the rest of her days on earth as a light in this dark, broken world in her new calling- being a shepherdess, reflecting God’s healing love to the wounded sheep He brings her way.
