Our Story

Reaching the Lost at Any Cost

"To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

- Acts 26:18 KJV

U-Turn World Ministries isn't a country club with a steeple. We're a Christ-centered ministry founded by a man who spent 17 years destroying his life - and then watched God rebuild every piece of it. Since 2007, we've been on a mission that started in an old liquor store in Fort Worth and landed in Chico, Texas - reach people nobody else wants to reach, and disciple them into men and women who walk with God for real.

Evangelist Kevin Alexander

Founder & Lead Pastor

Kevin Alexander was a drug addict and alcoholic for 17 years. Cocaine, whiskey, needles - he carried it all. He racked up domestic violence charges, multiple arrests, and a lifestyle so destructive his wife left and his family wrote him off. He was spiritually and financially bankrupt. By every measure, he was a dead man walking.

Then at age 30, sitting in his pickup truck with an eightball of cocaine and a bottle of whiskey, Kevin heard a man preach the gospel. Not a polished sermon in a church building - just the raw truth of Jesus Christ. And something broke. God's goodness led him to repentance, and Kevin cried out to Jesus for deliverance right there.

The change was so sudden and so total that Kevin's dad tried to have him committed - thought he'd joined a cult. His wife thought he'd lost his mind. His brother Ronnie, who had stopped bringing family around because of Kevin's lifestyle, had to come see it for himself. His Aunt Gloria set them all straight: "Nothing wrong with that boy - he just got the Holy Ghost."

That was over two decades ago. Kevin and his wife Clover have fought for their marriage, stood on God's Word through seasons that would have ended most relationships, and built a ministry from the ground up - not from a seminary classroom, but from the ashes of a life God completely rebuilt.

Today, Kevin walks into prisons and sees men he used to run with. They're shocked to see him with a Bible instead of a bag of dope. That's the testimony. Not theory - transformation. Kevin Alexander is living proof that nobody is too far gone for the power of God.

What Makes Us Different

We're not here to make church comfortable. We're here to preach the gospel that saves, deliver the Word that transforms, and walk with people through the hardest seasons of their lives. No religious games, no churchy language, no pretending. Just Jesus - and the Christ-powered community it takes to stay free.

Men's Discipleship

Our discipleship home takes men off the streets, out of addiction, and into structured, Christ-centered living - Bible study, accountability, physical training, and real brotherhood.

Prison Ministry

Kevin and team go behind the walls regularly, preaching the same gospel that set him free - to men who are exactly where he used to be.

No-Nonsense Gospel

Every sermon, every Bible study, every conversation - it's direct, it's biblical, and it's aimed at transformation, not entertainment.
