Passion Promise

Meet John & Donna Avant

John and Donna have been married for over 45 years and have three married adult children and seven grandkids. Dr. Avant is the founder and President of Passion Promise Ministries. John and Donna have given their lives to see the fulfillment of the Great Commission within the next 10 years. They believe this can be done by reaching unengaged people. Their part in this vision is to help churches be on mission and stay on mission, to help missionaries stay healthy in their souls and marriages, and to help fuel the fire of the Great Commission revival on university campuses. They have also authored five books on faith and revival. Check them out below!

Prayer Resources

John and Donna believe that the most important gift one can give our children, grandchildren, and marriage is praying God's word daily. When we pray God's word instead of our own hopes, wishes, or dreams, we are praying in accordance with God's will.

Stories & Endorsements

Dr. Doug Munton

Senior Pastor
FBC O’Fallon, IL

"I think John Avant is one of the most engaging communicators of God’s word I’ve ever heard! He speaks passionately about revival and living the passionate Christian life God calls us to live. God just uses him in incredible ways! When he has spoken at our church he has people laughing and crying and fully engaged in the work God wants to do in their lives. I could not recommend John more highly and I believe God is using him in a powerful way to spark revival in this generation!"

IMB Missionary

"When John, Donna, and their team came to work with us for a week it was one of the most powerful experiences we’ve had in 20+ years on the mission field. We would highly recommend them if you’re hoping to see the Lord work ‘far more abundantly’ than you could ask or imagine."

Kathryn

"The Valiant Marriage conference taught me that it's OK to be vulnerable with my spouse, and that we will fight our battles and remain strong by praying OVER each other. The break-out sessions were an unexpected highlight of the entire weekend. John and Donna do a wonderful job of interspersing their personal lives throughout their entire message, as well as using Scripture and practical examples. We came to the conference as a seasoned married couple with a strong bond and a "good" marriage, but we left with a renewed hope knowing that it can still be so much more. How exciting is this!"

Stan Napper, Ph.D.

Houston Christian University

“Through the passionate leadership of John Avant, Passion Promise Ministries made a lasting impact at Houston Christian University. Their preparation, prayers and dedication led to many students making decisions for Christ, with prayer groups and spiritual growth continuing beyond the event.”

Pastor Toby Frost

South Main Baptist Church

Greenwood, South Carolina

"John Avant is the most passionate Christ-follower I’ve ever known. When he brought a team to our church, it was life-changing in the hearts of many if not most of the hundreds who came. The reason is that John, Donna, and his team simply, clearly, and passionately points past himself to Jesus. And for me personally, the music, message, and creative elements ripped the layers of complacency away, refreshing my walk with Jesus! God bless John and his team!"

K.E.

"As I sat in a sea of women at a retreat, I had no idea what to expect when Donna Avant took the stage; but as I listened to her talk and teach the women, the more I wanted. Donna is down to earth, practical, godly, and has a genuine passion to teach women God's truths. I think my biggest take-away is that she encouraged me to continue to memorize and pray Scripture. The more she talks and the more I hear her, seriously, the more I want to be her friend - I see her heart for Jesus and others."

James Hilton

Pastor of Journey Church

“John Avant’s time with our church was an incredible gift. His heart for reaching those far from God is unmistakable, and the way he communicates the gospel makes Jesus feel near, real, and compelling. Our church was deeply encouraged and stirred to live on mission, especially our collegiate ministry, where students walked away motivated and equipped to share their faith with clarity and boldness. John carries a rare anointing to make the Word come alive in a way that moves people toward Jesus, and the impact of his ministry with us is still being felt.”
