Those who lead.

Euclid J. Betham grew up in South Auckland, and came up under his uncle Peter in the Hebrew Israelite faith and surrounded by gang culture. His father and several family members remain active in gang life to this day, and his mother was a drug dealer. He was a child with no sense of direction, lost spiritually and personally.

During those years Euclid also walked deep into the demonic realm before a series of events would change everything. In mid-2018 he was diagnosed with cancer and given only a few months to live.

In the middle of Euclid's cancer journey, a former Tongan gangster from Central Auckland came to drop off some hospital equipment. This man had his own story. He had lived the street life, done the things that come with it, and somewhere along the way Jesus had got hold of him and turned his life completely around. He was no longer the man he used to be. When he saw Euclid sitting there, he asked if he could pray for him. Euclid looked him in the eye and told him straight: “Sorry Dox, I don't believe in Jesus. I would rather die than do that.” The man prayed anyway. A few days later Euclid was pronounced cancer free.

From that day forward, Euclid has been a radical believer in Christ.

He came to Christ in late 2019 and relocated to Wellington in 2024 for a fresh start. He is married with a three year old son. His faith is anything but passive. Euclid believes in the full word of God and has little patience for a Christianity that sits quietly in a pew and does nothing with what it has been given. If God saved you and you are idle about it, he asks, do you really know Him?

At Final Hour Fellowship, Euclid holds to a simple conviction: this is about the Lord as He actually is within the scriptures, not the version of God we invent in our minds to accommodate our sin or soften our convictions.

You can come from the darkest background — it is the Lord that cleanses you and makes you new. He sat with sinners and tax collectors to call them to repentance. We do not put a veneer on any of it. We keep pushing forward in our faith together.

And here is what we will tell you honestly: salvation is the free gift of God, purchased entirely by the blood of Christ and received by faith alone. But following Jesus will cost you everything. Your old life, your old self, your right to live on your own terms. That is not a warning to scare you away. It is an invitation to something real. Come and see.
