James Turner

James Paul Turner Jr. is an evangelist, pastor, missionary, church planter, and the President and CEO of Bridge The Gap Ministries. Driven by a relentless passion to preach the Gospel and equip the body of Christ, James has spent decades breaking new ground for the Kingdom; locally, nationally, and globally.

Through Bridge The Gap Ministries, his mission centers on five core pillars: preaching the Gospel, discipling believers, equipping the saints, mobilizing the church, and raising up indigenous leaders. An experienced spiritual architect, James has successfully mobilized thousands of believers and planted numerous churches and parachurch organizations across America.

His apostolic voice reaches far beyond local borders. He is a frequent speaker in pulpits across the United States, leads massive crusades in Africa, and broadcasts the Word of God internationally on Kings Television, reaching viewers in over 180 countries.

Now, as a published author, James is translating decades of front-line ministry experience, leadership development, and kingdom stewardship into powerful developmental literature, manuals, and devotional series. His books are designed for believers, leaders, and pioneers who are ready to build lasting spiritual foundations, survive the fires of testing, and step into their God-given destiny.

When he isn’t traveling or writing, James focuses on training organizational representatives and developing leaders to expand the reach of the Gospel.
