Desmond Frey was born in Zurich, Switzerland and spent most of his
childhood years between Switzerland and South Africa. Since 1980 he
has been involved in various aspects of ministry from Bible school
director, church planter, humanitarian mission’s coordinator, senior
pastor, church overseer and European director for several international
ministries.

During the 90’s Desmond reduced his full time ministry responsibilities to
join the corporate world, where he held various senior management and
executive positions. This valuable experience only strengthened
Desmond’s passion for mentoring next-gen church leaders. As John
Maxwell’s Senior EQUIP Partner for Europe, Desmond raised up several
teams across 14 European countries to train over 90 thousand new
leaders in local churches.

Today Desmond serves on the lead team of Buchegg Church, a multi-
campus mega church in the heart of Zurich, Switzerland. He continues to
coach pastors and church teams in Europe.
Desmond and Sandy have been married for 35 years and have hosted
their “Refresh” marriage conference all around the world. They love
ministering together and never seem to run out of examples after being
empty nesters to four adult kids and nine grandkids.
