It's Domionism.Ted Cruz Anointed By Pro-Religious War, Antigay PastorsResource Directory for the New Apostolic ReformationRachel Tabachnick print page Wed Jan 20, 2010 at 01:15:43 PM EST[Updated] The modern-day apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation view their postdenominational movement as the future face of the Protestant church and the end of denominations as we know them. Their ideology and "relational networks" have taken root in the block of 400 million independent charismatics, sometimes referred to as Neocharismatics. This is an often overlooked mega-block of Christianity that is larger than all Protestant denominations combined, according to world missions statisticians. Their networks are also drawing in denominational churches and change both the internal government of a church and the way that churches relate. The movement's leadership teaches "Dominionism" or the belief that Christians of similar beliefs should take "dominion" over society and government prior to Jesus' return. Following is a resource directory for the NAR movement including: the International Coalition of Apostles (ICA); "prayer warrior" networks; educational, training and accreditation entities; and major campaigns such as the "Transformation" movies and organizations, and "Reclaiming the Seven Mountains of Culture." At the end of the directory is a partial list of the over 150 articles about the NAR posted at | Reclaiming Citizenship, History, and Faith over the the last four years.The following directory provides a framework for understanding the movement and its impact on nations around the globe.This resource directory is always available in the Special Focus box titled "New Apostolic Reformation." For easy reference, each entity is listed in bold and additional information for that entity is in the indented, shaded boxes.Resource Directory for the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)"The New Apostolic Reformation is an extraordinary work of God that began at the close of the twentieth century and continues on. It is, to a significant extent, changing the shape of the Protestant world."-- C. Peter Wagner in the foreword to the 2001 edition of Ted Haggard's 1998 book,The Life Giving ChurchConvening Apostle C. Peter WagnerC. Peter Wagner streamlined the ideology and developed a model network of what he dubbed the New Apostolic Reformation. He was the convening or presiding Apostle over the International Coalition of Apostles until turning over his duties when he turned 80. Wagner has impacted similar apostolic networks around the globe with his unique concept of "Strategic Level Spiritual Warfare." Wagner was an original executive of the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization (LCWE) as shown in his papers at the Billy Graham archives; head of the United Prayer Track of AD2000 and Beyond; a signer of the Coalition on Revival's 1986 Manifesto for the Christian Church; and taught Church Growth at Fuller Theological Seminary for thirty years. He announced the "second apostolic era" or "New Apostolic Reformation" as having begun in 2001. Wagner has turned the International Coalition of Apostles over to John Kelly; his Global Harvest Ministries to Chuck Pierce; Wagner Leadership Institute to Che Ahn; and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders to Cindy Jacobs.For an overview of the NAR see this summary by one of Wagner's former students and an article that includes Wagner's own summary of the New Apostolic Reformation.Global Harvest MinistriesThis is C. Peter and Doris Wagner's personal para-church ministry and the legal parent entity of many of the other NAR organizations listed below including the ACEA, ACKW, EVAT, ICA, ISDM, and WLI.ICA The International Coalition of ApostlesThe ICA is the network of several hundred apostles in the U.S. and approximately 40 other nations formed by the convening apostle, C. Peter Wagner. Each of these apostles has ministries under him/her, some hundreds or even thousands. The ICA has now gone behind a wall and this information can no longer be accessed by a non-member. Another entity called "Global Spheres," which list a directory of apostles, has been created and is under the apostolic authority of Chuck Pierce.In 2008, when this Resource Directory was created, the following information was accurate.This membership was under the leadership of Wagner with a council including the following apostles: Naomi Dowdy, Ed Silvoso, Dennis Peacocke, Bill Hamon, Joseph Mattera, Ron Cottle, James Chosa, Dan Juster, Pat Francis, George Bakalov, John Eckhardt, and H. Daniel Wilson.Currently (2013), the ICA is led by John Kelly and the membership list is no longer available to the public.Ed Silvoso, from the above list, can be seen in Bruce Wilson's Transforming Uganda, documenting the New Apostolics role in Uganda's anti-gay bill. Note that many significant ideological leaders or "fathers" of the movement have their own networks and are not currently listed as apostles in the ICA, such as Rick Joyner of MorningStar Ministries, and Mike Bickle, head of IHOP (International House of Prayer), and model for 24/7 youth-oriented prayer houses and movements around the globe. Bickle has served in the ACPE listed below.Another significant network that has overlap with the ICA is Revival Alliance, headed by Che Ahn, Randy Clark, Heidi Baker, John Arnott, Bill Johnson, and Georgian Banov and their spouses.ACPE The Apostolic Council of Prophetic EldersThe ACPE is an inner circle of about two to three dozen apostles which is sometimes posted in its entirety on on Elijah List, the website of ACPE member Steve Schultz.The Elijah List also post prophecy proclamations as seen at this Elijah List posting. The ACPE includes Mary Glazier who claims Sarah Palin as part of her spiritual warfare network, and Lou Engle, founder of The Call events including the November 1, 2008 San Diego stadium event in support of California's Prop Eight at which Engle demonized homosexuality and called for Christian martyrs for the cause. Engle hosted Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee in "Rediscovering God in America" broadcast on GodTV in June and was a featured leader at the December 16 Prayer Cast event in D.C. against healthcare reform which included Jim DeMint, Sam Brownback, and Michelle Bachmann.Spiritual Warfare NetworksThe NAR structure includes networks in each state that were originally called "spiritual warfare networks", then changed to "strategic prayer networks," and then the Global Apostolic Prayer Network or USGAPN. Now there are three entities under the supervision of leading apostles. National Governmental Prayer AllianceThis network was under the authority of Dutch Sheets and Robert Henderson (2008).Dutch Sheets was Wagner's personal pastor and one of a small group of top leaders inheriting Wagner's roles. Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets wrote Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of the Nation about their joint fifty-state tour of the nation. Activity and prophecies for different states are often included on the website of Chuck Pierce's Texas-based Glory of Zion ministry.On January 7, 2009, Dutch Sheets spoke at Wasilla Assembly of God. The video can be accessed here. Scroll through the list of New Apostolic leaders that have spoken at Wasilla AOG this year to find Dutch Sheets.Unites States Prayer Reformation NetworkLed by Cindy Jacobs head of Generals International with her husband Mike. Jacobs is the top ranking woman apostle in the movement beside Wagner's wife, Doris. Generals International also has prayer networks in Central Asia and Turkey.Link here to an example of a "prayer warrior" update from the New England Apostolic Prayer Network, which is part of the U.S. Prayer Reformation Network of Cindy Jacobs. This update was sent January 7, 2010 and concerned the special U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts.Cindy Jacobs can be seen in Bruce Wilson's video documenting the New Apostolics role in Uganda's anti-gay bill.Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network (HAPN)HAPN is under the apostolic authority of Apostle John Benefiel. The HAPN, based in Oklahoma, has list on the website of prayer networks by state.More Information on Spiritual Warfare NetworksFollowing is a sample of Apostolic Prayer Networks which fall under the supervision of the above apostolic leaders.GAPN - Georgia Global Apostolic NetworkORPN - Ohio Reformation Prayer NetworkTXAPN - Texas Apostolic Prayer NetworkMIPGAPN - Michigan Global Apostolic NetworkIN APN - Indiana Global Apostolic NetworkLouisiana Global Apostolic Prayer NetworkIllinois Apostolic Prayer NetworkHeartland Apostolic NetworkFLRPN - Florida Refomation Prayer NetworkArkansas Apostolic Prayer NetworkPray ColoradoPower Grid Apostolic Network - KansasNew England Apostolic Prayer NetworkMissouri Prayer Global MissionPray New YorkOAPN Oklahoma Apostolic Prayer NetworkThe "spiritual warfare" networks were used extensively in the 2008 presidential campaign to broadcast prophecy concerning Sarah Palin. This is arguably the meaning of the Palin's references to thanking her "prayer warriors" in interviews with James Dobson and again with Christian Broadcast Network.In 2006 Florida's Katherine Harris was taped in a controversial conference call praying that God would "bring the hearts and minds of our Jewish brothers and sisters into alignment" in a taped telephone conference with Ken Malone. Reporters identified him as head of Lighthouse World Outreach but failed to recognize that Malone was then the Florida coordinator for Wagner's U.S. Strategic Prayer Network, which illustrates how the movement has escaped notice.Market ApostlesAlso called workplace apostles, these leaders are considered one of the most important sectors of the movement. While they emphasize evangelism in the workplace, the primary task of this division is taking "Christian dominion" over "the mountain" of business and finance. (The 7-Mountain mandate is covered below.)Os Hillman, based in Atlanta, is the head of the International Coalition of Workplace Ministries and Market Leaders. Os Hillman and marketplace leader Apostle Julius Oyet can be seen in Bruce Wilson's video documenting the New Apostolics role in Uganda's anti-gay bill.Apostles are encouraged to merge ministry with business. Apostle Pat Francis of Ontario heads Kingdom Covenant Ministries which includes a communications corporation, Elomax Oil and Gas and Elomax Enterprises. She also serves as a United Nations (NGO) “Transformational Activist" according to her bio. Two other apostles from the UK and Australia run Markets Unlocked, a “kingdom company" and market matchmaking system. The Market Apostles work closely with the International Christian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) founded in 1985 and still led by founder Gunnar Olson of Sweden, member of the ICA Apostolic Council from 2004 - 2007.Wagner teaches that once the work of market apostles has progressed, there will be a "great wealth transfer" from the ungodly to the godly which will facilitate the rapid expansion of the "kingdom." In this decree posted on the ministry site of Apostle James Goll, Wagner relates the formation of a 48 apostle council to be in charge of overseeing the great wealth transfer. The composition of this and other "kingdom wealth" groups* have not been made public but many related to these initiatives can be seen at Market Leaders, Church in the Workplace Conferences, and the Kingdom Economic Summit. (View Kingdom Economic Summit videos.)Leading teachers in this area include Ed Silvoso from Argentina/California, Bruce Cook, Johnny Enlow and Pat Francis of Toronto.Paid prayer intercessors for businesses is another growing field.Other "kingdom wealth" groups mentioned in NAR media are the Apostolic Council for Kindom Wealth (ACKW), Zion Apostolic Council, and Hamilton Group.ISDM International Society of Deliverance MinistriesThis international network of deliverance ministries is headed by Bill and Janet Sudduth and developed from the ADRM roundtable. These ministries are for the purpose of expelling and repelling demons which are claimed to cause both physical and emotional problems. Apostle Chris Hayworth heads an international network of deliverance ministries called Cleansing Streams Ministries which originated at Jack Hayford's Church on the Way. Hayford maintains apostolic authority over that network.EVAT The Eagle Vision Apostolic TeamThis is a more secretive inner circle group whose membership is not advertised, although sometimes apostles will list their participation in this group in their ministry resumes. For instance Apostle Naomi Dowdy is the Resident Apostle of Singapore and lists her EVAT membership in her ministry resume. Dowdy spoke at Wasilla Assembly of God on November 4, 2009.ACEA The Apostolic Council for Educational AccountabilityThe ACEA is Wagner's "creative alternative to accreditation" and is under the apostolic covering (or authority) of Leo Lawson. The ACEA has no interest in secular accreditation which they see as a hindrance to their mission.An ICA "honorary apostle for life," Ret. Col. Jim Ammerman, serves as a commissioner for the Transworld Accrediting Commission International (TACI) and as VP of the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools. Ammerman is also head of the Full Gospel Chaplaincy which is one of the largest endorsing agencies for U.S. Military chaplains, and at the center of recent controversy due to his anti-government conspiracy theories and aggressive proselytizing within the military.WLI Wagner Leadership InstituteWLI includes over a dozen regional U.S. divisions and Wagner Leadership Institute Canada, UK, Asia, Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Kenya, Mexico, and Rwanda. The institutes issue diplomas including doctoral and feature courses on prophecy, faith healing, demon deliverance, and a division on finance and foreign exchange. WLI is now under the apostolic authority of Che Ahn. Wagner has recently announced that the WLI headquarters in Colorado Springs will be moving into the Jericho Center of Apostle Dick Eastman's Colorado branch of Every Home for Christ.International Society of Healing RoomsICA Apostle Cal Pierce heads the International Society of Healing Rooms, an international network of faith-healing centers.Link to the article Generational Curses, Deliverance Centers, and the "Kingdom" Health Care System.Julius Oyet, who was recognized by the Parliament when the anti-gay legislation in Uganda was first introduced, heads the Uganda Healing Rooms under the apostolic covering of Cal Pierce. Oyet can be seen in Bruce Wilson's Transforming Uganda documenting the New Apostolics role in Uganda's anti-gay bill and in the report by the New Apostolic Reformation Research Team.7-M or Seven Mountains MandateThe mandate for bringing the Kingdom of God to earth includes the "7-M" or Reclaiming the Seven Mountains of Culture initiative. This campaign involves the taking of "dominion over seven key spheres of society which are government, arts and entertainment, media, education, family, religion, and business.The mountain of business is considered key to taking dominion over the others and much of the promotion of the 7-M is done by Market Apostles. Os Hillman in Atlanta oversees this important segment of the movement and Lance Wallnau is one of its major motivational speakers, but Market Apostles are now also active in Africa, Asia, and South America, and Europe.Julius Oyet, one of the major figures in the Ugandan anti-gay bill is a regular speaker at 7-M and "Church in the Workplace Conferences." Lance Wallnau stresses stealth evangelism as seen in a June 7, 2009 speech at Wasilla Assembly of God in which he explains that infiltration is necessary before evangelization. (Scroll down through the list of internationally known New Apostolic speakers who have recently visited the Wasilla Assembly of God until you get to Lance Wallnau.) He gives the example of Guatemala prison ministries where a toned down version of "Kingdom" worldview is taught for a full year before any attempt to convert the prisoners.Thomas Muthee, star of the first "Transformations" movie (see next section on the "Transformations,") talked about the 7-M campaign at Wasilla Assembly of God just prior to his anointing of Sarah Palin in 2005. Wagner's 2008 book Dominion!, How Kingdom Action Can Change the World emphasizes the use of workplace apostles as the current crucial component to taking control over the other six mountains of culture.Transformations Movie Series and Transformation OrganizationsThe Transformations series of movies produced by George Otis, Jr. and Sentinel Group promote the spiritual warfare and unorthodox evangelizing methodologies of NAR. The series features prototypes of ethnic communities, cities, and nations claimed to be part of a wave of transformations in advance of the coming of the utopian "Kingdom" on earth. See trailers for the Transformations series of movies at Sentinel Media’s YouTube page."Transformations" has become the buzzword for the evangelization of entire communities and nations, and the series has spawned transformation entities all over the world including Transformation Associates and Ministries (Otis), Transform World (Luis Bush), International Transformation Network (Ed Silvoso and Francis Oda), and Transformations Africa. The latter, headed by Graham Power, is the parent entity of the "Global Day of Prayer."George Otis, Ed Silvoso, Francis Oda, and Graham Power are featured in Bruce Wilson's video documenting the New Apostolics role in Uganda's anti-gay bill. (Note that Francis Oda and Graham power are not identified in the video. They are standing to the right of Allen Kagina, head of the Uganda Revenue Service in the last scene in the video.)Following are Transformation organizations related to the NAR under the leadership of George Otis, Luis Bush, and Ed Silvoso and modeled after the “Transformations" series:Transform IndianaFusion Ministry - NebraskaTransformation Cincinnati & Northern KentuckyPrayer Transformation Ministries - MinnesotaVision OrlandoSomebody Cares (Somebody Cares is a large charitable/emergency response/transformations entity, now with branches in Indonesia and Botswana.)Transformation Hawaii (ITN Hawaii) now called Hawaii He’e NaluITN MinnesotaITN Hong KongITN Northern CaliforniaITN South Africa - Graham Power is head of ITN South Africa and also founder of the Global Day of Prayer.Transform BrazilTransform World HoustonTransform World IndiaTransforming MelbourneTransform USA Transformation Virginia Transformation Traverse CityPrayer Transformation Ministries Minnesota Scroll down to promo video on Transformation San Francisco event.Transform North CarolinaTransformations networks work closely with political leaders. For instance, International Transformation Network's conferences have included the participation of Ugandan First Lady Janet Museveni. President Yoweri Museveni and numerous other political and military leaders are featured in the Transformations movies. Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona of Hawaii has written and spoken for ITN and Hawaii Transformations.Numerous "ecumenical" prayer and fasting movements, pastors` networks and city transformations groups fall under the domain of the apostles and draw in the unsuspecting from Protestant denominations and Roman Catholicism. The Transformations movies have played a significant role in the charismatic "renewal" movements which have divided the Mainline Protestant churches in the U.S., and this influence can clearly be seen in the Anglican renewal movements extensive ties to George Otis, Jr. and Alistair Petrie, the Canadian apostle whose role is bringing Episcopalians/Anglicans into charismatic or "Spirit-filled" belief. The Transformations "franchises" have also played a role in attracting Roman Catholics in South American and other global Catholic populations to charismatic belief and partnership with the NAR and its agendas. This is despite their open demonization of Roman Catholicism which is claimed to be controlled by the "Queen of Heaven," a powerful demonic principality. See Killing Mother Teresa with their Prayers.The Transformations feature prototypes of locations around the world in which "Christian dominion" over government and societal structures supposedly produce mini-utopias where AIDS is miraculously cured, crime and corruption overcome, environmental degradation instantaneously reversed and vegetables grow to monstrous sizes. They believe these claimed results can be repeated worldwide as the apostles and prophets of the movement bring the "kingdom of God" to earth. Locations included in the movie series include the nations Uganda, Fiji, and cities of Cali, Colombia; Hemet, California, Sao Paulo, Brazil; Kiambu, Kenya; Almolonga, Guatemala; and more. The movies demonstrate the use of spiritual mapping, spiritual warfare, and other unorthodox evangelization tools. The emphasis is not on saving individual souls but expelling demons and taking control of territory or entire populations. The most recent Transformations movie came out in October 2009 and features the Sao Paulo police force, which Otis claims has spiritually mapped the city. Link to a detailed report on the "Transformations" movies and resulting Transformations entities.Christian Zionist Events and OrganizationsChristian Zionism is another area increasingly dominated by by the apostles and prophets, particularly at the international level. The largest single Christian Zionists event in the world, the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ), was co-founded by Jack Hayford (mentioned previously under the International Society of Deliverance Ministries) and Robert Stearns, and is endorsed by the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus. Stearns heads Eagles Wing's Ministry which manages the DPPJ, and he is also editor of Kairos, a popular apostolic and prophetic magazine which features top NAR apostles, although Stearns himself is not listed in the NAR's ICA directory. Stearns' ministry events often include Chuck Pierce, the heir apparent to C. Peter Wagner's Global Harvest Ministries.Hayford, Stearns, and ICA apostles including Don Finto and Messianic Rabbi Dan Juster, provide coordination of support for the Messianic movement (Jews who convert but retain Jewish identity) in Israel and worldwide. Hayford is founder of The King's Seminary which now has a charismatic Messianic division. Stearns is also a director of John Hagee's Christians United for Israel, and although Hagee still teaches a dispensational theology, many of the other leaders of CUFI are major figures in the New Apostolic Reformation including Stephen Strang of Stang Communications and publisher of Charisma, who is an ICA apostle.Don Finto led the prayer for Israel at Gov.

From 2014 until May 2019,[1][2][3]she was senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center, in Apopka, Florida, a non-denominational, multicultural megachurch. She was formerly the co-pastor of Without Walls International Church in Tampa, a church she co-founded with pastor and then-husband Randy White in 1991. She hosts a television show, Paula White Today.White became chair of the evangelical advisory board in Donald Trump's administration.[4]She delivered the invocation at his inauguration, on January 20, 2017.[5]She is the first female to deliver the invocation.[6]She was listed number three on the "50 Most Powerful 2017: Philanthropy & Community Voices" list in the Orlando Magazine July 2017 issue.[7]In November 2019, Trump appointed White as special adviser to the Faith and Opportunity Initiative at the Office of Public Liaison.[8][9]Contents1Early life and youth2Religious ministry2.1Without Walls International Church2.2Bankruptcy2.3Paula White Ministries2.4New Destiny Christian Center2.5Retirement from regular ministry3Criticism and allegations of heresy4Personal life4.1Marriages and relationships4.2Family5References6External linksEarly life and youthWhite was born Paula Michelle Furr in Tupelo, Mississippi, the daughter of Myra Joanelle and Donald Paul Furr III. Her parents owned a toy and craft store.[10]Donald and Myra Furr's marriage began to fail when White was five years old. White's mother left Tupelo and took her to Memphis; her separation from her husband and his subsequent suicide drove Paula, her brother, and her mother into poverty.[11]Paula's mother became an alcoholic. While she worked, her daughter was looked after by caregivers. White has said that she was sexually and physically abused between the ages of six and thirteen by different people on different occasions. She has said that during that time, she suffered from bulimia.[12][13][14][15]Paula's mother remarried to a two-star admiral in the US Navy when White was nine years old. Her family moved to the Washington, DC, area when her stepfather became stationed at the National Naval Medical Center. White graduated from Seneca Valley High Schoolin Germantown, Maryland.[15][16]While living in Maryland in 1984, she converted to Christianity at the Damascus Church of God. She later claimed to have received a vision from God shortly after her conversion: "When I was just eighteen years old, the Lord gave me a vision that every time I opened my mouth and declared the Word of the Lord, there was a manifestation of His Spirit where people were either healed, delivered, or saved. When I shut my mouth, they fell off into utter darkness and God spoke to me and said 'I called you to preach the gospel.'"[10]Religious ministryWithout Walls International ChurchThe South Tampa Christian Center, was founded in Tampa, Florida, by the then-married Paula and Randy White in 1991. It became Without Walls International Church.The church struggled financially, and it could not afford to pay the Whites a salary for the first two years. As a result, the couple lived on government assistance and the kindness of others. From 1991 to 1998, the church changed locations three times until it secured the property at 2511 North Grady Avenue in Tampa, and changed the name of the church to Without Walls International Church.[10]While the church was holding services in an outdoor tent in 1999, it reported 5,000 attendees a week and 10,000 ministered to outside of the church by 230 outreach ministries.[17]Without Walls International Church then purchased the property next door, at 3860 West Columbus Drive, to expand its Tampa campus. The property acquired was a Canada Dry warehouse, which was remodeled and became the main sanctuary for the church until September 2014.In 2002, Without Walls International Church began to expand to its second location in Lakeland, Florida. At the time, the church reported 14,000 members and 200 ministries including job training, evangelism among public housing projects, and a teen club. Without Walls International Church also began to hold Saturday night services at Carpenter's Home Church in Lakeland renting the property.[18][19]Carpenter's Home Church would later be purchased by Without Walls International Church in 2005 for $8 million, with the church renamed to Without Walls Central Church.[20]In 2004, Without Walls International Church reported a congregation of 20,000, the largest congregation in the area and the seventh-largest church in the United States.[21]An audit later made public by a US Senate committee showed that Without Walls received $150 million from 2004 to 2006.[22]On July 12, 2009, White became the senior pastor of the church that she had co-founded, replacing her former husband, Randy White, who stated that he was stepping down as pastor for health reasons but would remain connected with the church in a different position.[23][24]On January 1, 2011, after the resignation of Scott Thomas, White became the senior pastor of the Without Walls Central Church inLakeland, Florida church, making her the pastor of both locations.[20]By August of that year, services ceased when electricity was disconnected after failure to pay over $50,000 in bills.[25]. One year later, on January 1, 2012, she became senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center as well. On June 20, 2012 her ex-husband Randy White resumed leadership of the Tampa location[26]while the Lakeland location had been abandoned a year prior. Since then, White has not been listed as staff at Without Walls International Church.BankruptcyBy 2008, three years after purchasing the Lakeland property, Without Walls International put both locations up for sale due to financial difficulties. The Evangelical Christian Credit Union began foreclosure proceedings on both properties later that year. Selling two parcels of land to the city of Lakeland allowed for a settlement with the credit union in 2009, modifying the mortgage through 2013. In November 2011, while White was still senior pastor of the location, her ex-husband Randy White said that the Lakeland property was on the verge of being sold or going into foreclosure.[27]By October 2012, the Tampa property was under foreclosure proceedings by the Evangelical Christian Credit Union after failure to pay loans. In a counterclaim filed at that time, Without Walls International claimed that White had taken audio equipment owned by the church to her new church in Apoka.[28]On March 4, 2014, when White was the senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Without Walls International Church filed for Chapter 11 federal bankruptcy protection. In response, the Evangelical Christian Credit Union, which said the church owed it $29 million, called the filing a "litigation tactic" to prevent the foreclosure of two church locations.[29]In a television interview with Erin Burnettat CNN, Paula White stated, "I've never filed bankruptcy. I had resigned [W]ithout [W]alls. I had absolutely no part."[30]Paula White MinistriesWhite recorded the first broadcast of Paula White Today in December 2001. By 2006, her show appeared on nine television networks, including Trinity Broadcast Network, Daystar, and Black Entertainment Television[10][16][31]Ebony magazine said of White, "You know you're on to something new and significant when the most popular woman preacher on the Black Entertainment Network is a white woman."[32]White considers T.D. Jakes her spiritual father. Jakes invited her to speak at his "Woman Thou Art Loosed" conference in 2000. She also participated in the Mega Fest, hosted by Jakes in Atlanta, in 2004, 2005 and 2008.[33][34]White has ministered to people including Michael Jackson, Gary Sheffield, and Darryl Strawberry.[10]She was the personal pastor to Darryl Strawberry, starting in 2003 following Strawberry's release from prison for cocaine possession. Charisse Strawberry, Darryl Strawberry's wife at the time, worked as an assistant to White, accompanying her on speaking engagements.[16][35][36]She is the "personal life coach" of Tyra Banks and appeared on her show, the Tyra Banks Show, in an episode on promiscuity on October 4, 2006.[31]White has been a personal minister to Donald Trump after watching her TV show;[37]he first contacted White by telephone in 2002.[38]He brought her to Atlantic City on multiple occasions for private Bible studies, and he has appeared on her television show.[10]White was credited in June 2016 by James Dobson as having converted Trump to Christianity.[39]White was part of Trump's Evangelical Advisory Board during his campaign for US President, and she provided the invocation prayer during Trump's inauguration ceremony.[40][41]Since Trump took office, White has served as one of the president's spiritual advisors and has held Oval Office prayer circles with him.[42]White, with assistance from her own ministry board advisor, Jack Graham, has had an ongoing spiritual role towards Trump.[37]White enthusiastically supported Trump's 2017 decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.[43]White was a 2009 Trumpet Awards honoree.[44]New Destiny Christian CenterThis section needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.Last update: 2012(April 2017)On December 31, 2011, the board of New Destiny Christian Church in Apopka, Florida, announced it had appointed White to succeed Zachery Tims as the new senior pastor. New Destiny Christian Center had been searching for a replacement since his death in August 2011.[45]Tims' ex-wife Riva filed a lawsuit against the board of directors but quickly dropped it, citing a hold harmless clause in her 2009 marital settlement agreement.[46]Upon hearing of the controversy, White addressed the New Destiny Christian Center during a service that she was leading: "I'm not asking you to like me. I'm not asking you to love me or respect me, because I'll do the work to earn that. I always ask people to give me one year of your life and I promise you will be changed."[46]On January 1, 2012, White officially became the senior pastor for New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka.[47]Her philanthropic work in the community along with New Destiny Christian Center has been publicly acknowledged by the Mayor of Apopka: "Her church's mentoring of school students, donating food to the needy, assisting families victimized by violence and ministering to help young women trapped in the adult entertainment industry has been inspiring," said Apopka Mayor Joe Kilsheimer. "What I see her doing in the community... is of tremendous value to Apopka and northwest Orange County."[7]Retirement from regular ministryOn May 5, 2019, she announced she was stepping down as senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center and that her son and his wife would become the new senior pastors.[2][3][1]The church would also be renamed City of Destiny. White said she would help start 3,000 churches and a university.[2][3][1]Criticism and allegations of heresyWhite is a proponent of prosperity theology.[4][48]Along with other televangelists who have made millions of dollars through the prosperity gospel, she was the subject of an inconclusive 2007–2011 Senate investigation, but she refused to co-operate.[49][50][51]Southern Baptist theologian and ethicist Russell D. Moore said that "Paula White is a charlatan and recognized as a heretic by every orthodox Christian, of whatever tribe."[52]Michael Horton, a professor of theology at Westminster Seminary California, wrote in early January 2017 that White represented a heretical movement and that her then-upcoming address at President Trump's inauguration was helping to introduce heresy into mainstream public life. Horton addressed White's alleged denial of the Trinity and the prosperity gospel's position that Christ died on the cross not for the forgiveness of humankind but to rescue people from financial hardship.[52]Other allegations of heresy have emerged among conservative Christians, such as that White has denied the Trinity, partly as a result of a video shared by Christian author Erick Erickson that shows White assenting to the viewpoint that Jesus Christ was not the only son of God, in contravention of the Nicene Creed.[22][53]Erickson has stated:The President of the United States putting a heretic on stage who claims to believe in Jesus, but does not really believe in Jesus, risks leading others astray.... I'd rather a Hindu pray on Inauguration Day and not risk the souls of men, than one whose heresy lures in souls promises of comfort only to damn them in eternity.[53]Connor Gaffey has drawn attention to a 2007 televised event at which White stated, "Anyone who tells you to deny yourself is from Satan." Gaffey contrasts that with Jesus' words in the Gospel of Matthew: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."[38]White has denied all allegations of heresy.[22][53]In a January 5, 2017, CNN interview, White responded to some of the criticism saying "I have been called a heretic, an apostate, an adulterer, a charlatan, and an addict. It has been falsely reported that I once filed for bankruptcy and -- my personal favorite -- that I deny the Trinity!" During her interview, she also said in her defense, "My life and my decisions have been nowhere near perfect, though nothing like what has been falsely conveyed in recent days."[54]White has also been criticized for being introduced as having or claiming to have a doctoral degree when she has no college or seminary degree.[55]In July 2018, White was discussing illegal immigration and said that although Jesus migrated to live in Egypt, "it was not illegal. If he had broken the law, then he would have been sinful and he would not have been our Messiah." In response, Reverend William Barber IIcalled White a "Christian nationalist" and said that "Jesus was a refugee & did break the law. He was crucified as a felon under Roman law." Matthew Soerens of the Evangelical Immigration Table group has stated that the concept of illegal immigration did not exist at the time and also questioned White's argument that breaking a law is sinful by noting that the Bible had written about Jews defying an Egyptian ruler's order to kill children and Jesus's apostles being jailed for breaking Roman laws.[56][57]White has been denounced by rapper and Christian pastor Shai Linne in a song, "Fal$e Teacher$".[58]Personal lifeMarriages and relationshipsWhite has been married three times.[22]Her first marriage was as a teenager to the father of her son, Dean Knight.[59]In 1984, while she was living in Maryland with her newborn baby, she converted to Christianity. Her marriage ended soon after.[12]Her second marriage was to Randy White. According to the book Holy Mavericks, a turning point in White's life was meeting Randy White in 1991, a third-generation preacher in the Church of God denomination. White had divorced his first wife and was in the early stages of reviving his career as a preacher and evangelist. They met while he was visiting the church where White volunteered as a janitor. They became friends and dated for several months, working together in ministry projects. Less than a year after meeting, Randy proposed during a tour to Israel and she accepted. Shortly thereafter they moved from Maryland to Tampa, Florida.[10]On August 23, 2007, Randy White announced that he and Paula were divorcing. According to The Christian Post, White says the divorce was amicable, and they remain friends.[14][60]In 2010 White's relationship with married televangelist Benny Hinn gave rise to controversy after being photographed leaving a hotel in Rome holding hands. Hinn said “A friendship did develop" though "the relationship is over.” Both denied an affair.[61][62][63]At the close of 2014, musician Jonathan Cain of the Journey rock band finalized his divorce from his second wife and became engaged to White. On April 27, 2015, the couple married.[64]FamilyPaula has one son from her first marriage. She was a stepmother to the three children of her second husband, Randy White. Paula and Randy did not have children together.[12][failed verification]References^ Jump up to:a b c "Paula White, Trump's spiritual adviser, leaves Florida church with new ambitions".

From 2014 until May 2019,[1][2][3] she was senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center, in Apopka, Florida, a non-denominational, multicultural megachurch. She was formerly the co-pastor of Without Walls International Church in Tampa, a church she co-founded with pastor and then-husband Randy White in 1991. She hosts a television show, Paula White Today.White became chair of the evangelical advisory board in Donald Trump's administration.[4] She delivered the invocation at his inauguration, on January 20, 2017.[5] She is the first female to deliver the invocation.[6] She was listed number three on the "50 Most Powerful 2017: Philanthropy & Community Voices" list in the Orlando Magazine July 2017 issue.[7]Contents1 Early life and youth2 Religious ministry2.1 Without Walls International Church2.2 Bankruptcy2.3 Paula White Ministries2.4 New Destiny Christian Center2.5 Retirement from regular ministry3 Criticism and allegations of heresy4 Personal life4.1 Marriages and relationships4.2 Family5 References6 External linksEarly life and youthWhite was born Paula Michelle Furr in Tupelo, Mississippi, the daughter of Myra Joanelle and Donald Paul Furr III. Her parents owned a toy and craft store.[8] Donald and Myra Furr's marriage began to fail when White was five years old. White's mother left Tupelo and took her to Memphis; her separation from her husband and his subsequent suicide drove Paula, her brother, and her mother into poverty.[9] Paula's mother became an alcoholic. While she worked, her daughter was looked after by caregivers. White has said that she was sexually and physically abused between the ages of six and thirteen by different people on different occasions. She has said that during that time, she suffered from bulimia.[10][11][12][13]Paula's mother remarried to a two-star admiral in the US Navy when White was nine years old. Her family moved to the Washington, DC, area when her stepfather became stationed at the National Naval Medical Center. White graduated from Seneca Valley High School in Germantown, Maryland.[13][14]While living in Maryland in 1984, she converted to Christianity at the Damascus Church of God. She later claimed to have received a vision from God shortly after her conversion: "When I was just eighteen years old, the Lord gave me a vision that every time I opened my mouth and declared the Word of the Lord, there was a manifestation of His Spirit where people were either healed, delivered, or saved. When I shut my mouth, they fell off into utter darkness and God spoke to me and said 'I called you to preach the gospel.'"[8]Religious ministryWithout Walls International ChurchThe South Tampa Christian Center, was founded in Tampa, Florida, by the then-married Paula and Randy White in 1991. It became Without Walls International Church.The church struggled financially, and it could not afford to pay the Whites a salary for the first two years. As a result, the couple lived on government assistance and the kindness of others. Soon, the church began to grow quickly through the various outreach programs.
