About Us
Evangelist Elliot Turner is a powerful voice in this generation, revealing through his life and ministry how God can transform even the darkest past into a testimony of redemption, purpose, and revival.
Raised in a single-parent Christian home in Missouri/Florida, Elliot’s early years were marked by a longing for a father figure—a void he tried to fill with drugs and destructive relationships. By 17, he had come face-to-face with death. Lying on a friend’s couch, he cried out, “If You’re real, like my mom always said You were, please save me.” In that moment, Elliot encountered Jesus, who spoke clearly to his heart: “I’ve given you a second chance, son. Now pick up your cross and follow Me.” From that point forward, Elliot’s life was never the same. He soon had another defining moment at a youth camp when a pastor embraced him and said, “Forgive me for not being there for you”—words that healed years of pain and shattered the chains of hurt and bitterness. The love of God filled the void that had haunted him for so long.
Elliot went on to earn a full scholarship to Bible college in Tampa, Florida, where he spent three years in preparation for the call God placed on his life. It was during that season that God gave him a vision to raise up a generation not addicted to the things of the world, but to the presence of God. “Just like someone addicted to drugs can’t go long without their fix, we’re meant to crave the presence of God, turning to Him above all else,” Elliot shares.
Today, Elliot serves as a full-time evangelist and travels preaching in schools, colleges, churches, and the very streets he once walked in rebellion. Alongside his wife, Diadra, who also carries a powerful testimony of deliverance and calling, they co-founded DunamisGen—a ministry devoted to reaching the lost, equipping believers, and igniting revival across the globe. Diadra studied at Remnant Bible College in Upstate New York, and together they’ve committed their lives to the call "for such a time as this."
Since its founding, DunamisGen has seen over 13,000 decisions for Christ and countless testimonies of healing, freedom, and transformation. At a recent event in South Africa, a woman confined to a wheelchair walked for the first time in years after prayer—just one of many miracles that follow this ministry.
In their free time, Elliot and Diadra love discovering new places and trying new foods—always finding adventure in the journey God has placed them on. “This generation isn’t lost,” Elliot declares. “We’re seeing young people rise up, encounter Jesus, and change the culture around them. The hunger is real, and the fire is spreading.”
Evangelist Elliot Turner is living proof that no one is too far gone for the grace of God. His life is a beacon of hope to the broken, the bound, and the hopeless—testifying that Jesus still saves, heals, and calls people to greatness.
