Who am I?

Evangelist Tonya Daniel is the Founding President of Purposely Living Ministries, birth in 2018 through the Holy Spirit as the Word was released according to Romans 12:1-2. As a purpose strategist she works at the intersection of purpose, leadership, and motivation to help God's sons and daughters impact their spheres of influence by discovering and fulfilling their purpose. Coaching and mentoring faith-based millennials and aspiring leaders is her passion. Using tools such as prayer, teaching, accountability and encouragement she helps those who are ready to discover who they are and why they are here. Through prayer, leadership and motivation she assist millennials in clarifying their purpose, fulfilling it and prospering so they can be all that God created them to be. 

Evangelist Tonya is the proud mother of three children, six grandchildren, a bonus daughter, 3 goddaughters and a host of spiritual sons and daughters. She loves to travel and spend time with her family. She has been a Unit Secretary for Northwestern Medicine Hospital for 22 years and recently graduated from the University of Phoenix with a certificate in Medical Coding and Billing.

Shortly after giving birth to such an amazing ministry, Evangelist Tonya, published her first book in 2019 titled "5 W's of Prayer- The Prayer Guide for Every Believer." In March of 2025 she took her first mission assignment to Cape Town, South Africa. Teaming up again with Dr. Apostle Renee Gray and Restored to Purpose, the Evangelist will once again head to South Africa for her second mission in March of 2026. Looking ahead, Evangelist Tonya is developing a group coaching program, a prayer course, and a prophetic intercessory team.

As an Evangelist she faithfully serves as an intercessor, teacher, and minister of worship under the leadership of the Apostles Cleveland and Frances Person at Corner Stone Church of Chicago for over 25 years. She also serves as the General Secretary for Koinonia Gathering of Churches Network under the leadership of Apostles Lamar and Terry Collins.
