Dr. Shawn and Tammy Turner are both graduates of Jackson College of Ministries, where they established the foundation for their lifelong dedication to ministry and global evangelism. In August of 2005, the Turners, along with their family, set out for the foreign field, beginning what would become more than twenty-one years of continuous ministry throughout the Middle East. During this time, they witnessed literally several thousand men, women, and children baptized in the Name of Jesus and filled with the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in other tongues. Their ministry reached people from some of the most spiritually inaccessible nations in the world, including Israel, Judea/Samaria, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Syria, and many countries across the Northern Sahara of Africa, stretching from Nigeria to Ethiopia. The Turners have a unique passion for reaching the children of Abraham, striving to bring these precious individuals into the light of the gospel and into their inheritance as joint heirs with Abraham through faith in the Messiah.

With deep gratitude, the Turners continually acknowledge the sacrificial support of churches throughout North America and around the globe, expressing that their work would not be possible without the prayers, fasting, and generosity of believers worldwide. Embracing the vision of Ephesians 4:16, they firmly believe that the global church is a body fitly framed together, each part contributing to the whole.

In the years following their field ministry, Dr. Shawn Turner expanded his leadership roles, serving as the Regional Representative of Leadership Development International for the Eurasia–North Africa region, where there are now eighteen active congregations throughout Israel and Judea/Samaria. In October 2025, he was appointed Honorary Chaplain for the Jerusalem Battalion of the Israel Defense Forces. Drawing from extensive firsthand experience throughout the region, Dr. Turner also organizes Middle East religious tourism to Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, offering travelers profound spiritual, historical, and cultural insight into these significant lands.

Together, the Turners remain committed to advancing the gospel, supporting emerging congregations, and strengthening believers across the Middle East. They count it a privilege to serve as part of a God-ordained team working to see His truth spread throughout the world.
