After experiencing a radical spiritual encounter at the age of seventeen, Alan DiDio was born again. This experience instantly transformed him from a dogmatic atheist to a passionate follower of Jesus. Taught in a Word-based church, he learned early on how to stand in faith. Not long after giving his life to Christ, Bishop Alan went off to Bible college and continued serving with a national ministry for twelve years. In fact, he even worked on staff for nearly seven years. During that time, he gained experience in every possible area of ministry ranging from running an international prayer center to traveling across the country spreading the Gospel.
Since then, he’s founded Encounter Ministries in his hometown and taken the Gospel to nations such as Pakistan, China, Israel, Haiti, and Guatemala. He also hosts the Encounter Underground Podcast and Encounter Today on YouTube which reaches tens of thousands of people around the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In 2022 Bishop Alan was ordained a Bishop and Overseer in City Harvest Network.
Bishop Alan has a wife and two children and considers family to be the most important ministry any believer is called to.
