Pastor John David Reno loved God’s people—every one of us, all the time. He was always smiling, offering encouragement, and using his musical God given talents to help us feel God’s love. His worship constantly led us into the throne room of God!
Johnny was passionate about evangelism and loved teaching others how to share the Gospel. He enjoyed leading worship and mentoring others in worship leadership. Johnny’s influence can be seen and heard in the voice, tone, mannerisms, and growth of many worship leaders who had the privilege to study under him. Through his God given skills and talents, Pastor John Reno touched countless lives.
Although Pastor John Reno has joined Jesus in heaven, we want to honor his legacy and ensure it continues here on earth. To this end, a scholarship has been established in his name, administered by U-Turn for Christ Ministries. This scholarship will help men and women attend Bible College, School of Worship, or higher education; enhancing their skills, talents, and relationships with the Lord in preparation for service in His name.
Johnny’s family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the “Pastor John David Reno Memorial Scholarship” fund.
Tax-deductible donations can be made to U-Turn For Christ Ministries by specifying “Scholarship.”
Thank you for your love and continued prayers for Pastor John David Reno’s wife Kerby, and his family.

U-Turn’s goal is to teach individuals to be independent, self-supporting, and stable under the Lordship of Jesus Christ by becoming an asset to their family, church, friends, employers, schools, and society.Most enrollees come to U-Turn For Christ after hitting their life’s “bottom,” and some are ready to do whatever is necessary to have Jesus Christ restore their lives and give them peace again. We have found with men and women prepared to give up, “leaning on their own understanding,” and completely surrender themselves to the Lord’s work for eight months, their lives are never the same.

In Phase One of our drug and alcohol rehab program (we can help with other forms of addiction as well), participants spend a minimum of two months at one of our U-Turn For Christ ranch locations. Participants stay in military-style quarters, one large room filled with bunks. This type of housing promotes healthy fellowship. “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:17). Participants participate in morning devotions, daily chores, volunteer community service, evening Bible study, and nightly personal devotion time throughout the day.
LEARN MOREPhase Two of our program is six months long and comes with two possible paths to travel. Some return to work, pay a monthly donation and attend church with first phase participants in the evening. Others are chosen to commit six months of service to the Lord and are provided for by the ministry. This last choice comes with considerable sacrifice. Servants of Christ can be called on at all times to serve in many different ways. The six-month period does not have to be the end. Many who return to work will stay a year or more, choosing a higher level of accountability and fellowship for their lives. Many who have stayed to serve in ministry now do at other U-Turn for Christ facilities in the United States and worldwide.

Our ministry has worked with trustworthy churches and pastors for over the course of 25 years. A few examples are John Randall from Calvary Chapel San Juan Capistrano, Ken Graves from Calvary Chapel Bangor, Maine, and many more. We are here to help and serve your loved ones as they go through the journey of overcoming addiction.
“ U-Turn stresses that freedom over drugs and alcohol comes through one source, and that’s Jesus Christ.” – Pastor John Randall
We know that prayer should be our first response, not our last resort. That’s why we are committed to meeting people where they are at, literally.
Our Pop-up Prayer Ministry is at Heritage High School, every Wednesday from 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm. We will be available for the students and their parents to pray. We are all very excited to see what God is going to do in our community through this ministry!
If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
