“I'm
excited about what the Lord is doing
with the 21st Century church. It affords
all of us the opportunity to participate
in kingdom building and we do so through
ministry. Ministry is how we serve
God, but you cannot serve God without
serving people.”
“By making a committed
choice to take every opportunity to
gain greater understanding of the
vision of the house and be a part
of church growth, we accomplish ministry.”
Bishop Milton
M. White, Sr. exemplifies
the hallmark characteristics of a
devoted shepherd as noted in I Samuel
16:18. Proving brave and fearless
against every challenge to meet a
need, strong in faith, character and
compassion, he has good judgment concerning
that over which he is steward, and
the Lord is with him as the favor
of God is evident in all that he sets
his hands to do.
A preacher since the early age of
11, even as a young boy Milton White
had an intimate relationship with
the Lord and the ability to clearly
hear the voice of God. Under the tutelage
of the late Rev. Adam Daniels of Houston,
Texas, the young preacher matured
in his leadership skills and was ordained
in ministry in 1974. While serving
as Senior Pastor at his former church,
Bethel Baptist Church of Freeport
Texas, Rev. Milton M. White became
a part of the Full Gospel Baptist
Church Fellowship. In 1996 he was
elevated to the office of Bishop.
Throughout this time of God moving
in his life he earned a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Religious Education.
He also married his wife of 32 years,
Pat White, and became father to their
three children Shuwana White Leonard,
Shamira White-Lacey and Milton M.
White, Jr., and is affectionately
known as “PaPa” to seven
grandchildren.
Serving as Bishop of the Western
Pacific Region; which consists of
Northern & Southern California,
Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, Alaska, Utah,
Oregon, and Washington under the leadership
of Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr.; Bishop
Milton M. White Sr. is the divinely
appointed visionary of the Victory
Bible Full Gospel Baptist Church located
in Pasadena California, one of the
largest black community churches in
the San Gabriel Valley area. There
he has served faithfully and unselfishly
for 6 years, providing him opportunity
to build leaders and laypeople, equipping
every believer with the Word of God.
He has a passion to help people at
all levels of discipleship to fully
understand and fulfill their purpose
in God, experience prosperous living,
and to walk in victory.
As a “Father” to many
sons and daughters in ministry, and
now Shepherd of Victory Bible Full
Gospel Baptist Church, the evidence
and impact of the leadership of Bishop
Milton M. White, Sr. is unmistakable.
He provides opportunities for growth
encouraging individuals to seize every
occasion to become fruit bearers by
taking advantage of community-based
Christian Educational programs, such
as “Next Level Studies”
for the mature believer; and Performing
Arts Spring Session; and Character
Enrichment & Educational Development
for the young believer. Through Family
Enrichment Night, a weekly bible fellowship
that provides powerful yet practical
life application tools for victorious
living for all ages, he deposits his
passion for strong healthy families
into the heart of the people in the
community.
