Carl Turner is a Christian businessman called to awaken the church to the business anointing Christ gave to His church. Through Christ, the Blessing of Abraham and the Ascension Gifts release the ability to access and receive these resources. Even so, the church has failed to grasp the magnitude of these concepts which are often misunderstood and seldom taught.
Born of Christian parents and converted at the age of seven, Carl has always been an entrepreneur at heart. He has a BS degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Middle Tennessee State University. His work later for IBM included developing the computer program that literally took man to the moon. He was an initial employee of Intergraph Corporation which became a Fortune 500 Company and launched dozens of employees into great wealth in the process.
In the mid 1970's Carl began a career of serving God by investing. Becoming a full-time Christian entrepreneur, he has successfully started and managed many small companies, partnerships, and corporations. Today he teaches the Body of Christ the value of investing, of starting and operating one's own Christian business, for the purpose of fulfilling Christ's kingdom mandate. It is a call to advance!
Carl teaches clergy and laymen the role of this blessing for obtaining wealth. Drawing from his own experiences and other close Christian business associates, his instruction is filled with motivational examples that uniquely merge spiritual and practical principles.
