Paula White was raised in the small town of Tupelo, Mississippi. Until the age of 5, her life was what most people would consider typical, including a loving family and stable home life. But at the age of five Paula's little world was thrown into a tailspin when her father committed suicide. The sudden loss of her father affected her entire family. While various members of the household tried to cope with the grief and loss, Paula's cries for love were muffled by sexual and physical abuse from the ages of 6 to 13.
At the age of eighteen, Paula was introduced to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Shortly after Paula surrendered her life to the Lord, she received a divine visitation in which God gave her a vision of multitudes of millions of people as far as her eyes could see. In the vision, every time she opened her mouth and began to declare the Word of the Lord, there was a visible manifestation of the power of God – souls were saved, the sick were healed, and the broken were restored. Conversely, when she was silent, people began to fall into utter darkness. In her finite mind she could not adequately quantify or enumerate the sea of humanity that she saw...but, since that time, Paula has kept the goal of 10 million souls to remind her of the awesome responsibility -- yet achievable mission -- of winning multiple souls for Christ.
Shortly after receiving this life-changing 'mission from God', Paula began ministering in the inner cities of the Washington, DC area. By the early nineties she was in post-riot Los Angeles, teaching Jesus to children whose neighborhoods had been hardest hit by violence. And by the mid-nineties Paula had joined in her husband Randy's call from God to journey to Tampa, Florida to begin Without Walls International Church – a ministry that has gone on to affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of those in-need.
From there, the evolution of Paula White Ministries has included hundreds of large-scale outreaches to the needy and lost -- supporting orphanages, and massive global missions outreaches. Paula's journey -- from a troubled past, to experiencing the abundant life of a true overcomer -- motivates her to touch people...people who, like herself, have found themselves without hope.
