Jeremiah 3:13-14
1971
Born January 23, 1971
"Called from Birth"
From a Child, there was something special about young Adam “Chip” White III. Born to anointed, God fearing parents, Adam Henry White Jr. and Beverly Jean White. Adam and Beverly like Samuel’s mother dedicated young Chip back to the Lord being dedicated and anointed by the late, great, Apostle Charles O. Miles, founder of the International Gospel Center in Ecorse, Michigan
1982
Accepted Jesus as Personal Savior
Age 11
At the tender age of 11, while standing at the alter under a prayer by Apostle Charles O. Miles is where young Adam, received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior. He knew he was saved, because Jesus also healed his thumb that same moment and when Adam returned to his seat, he couldn’t stop smiling. He felt so much joy, happiness, and peace that he couldn’t explain at that age. We know today that it was the powerful saving grace and love of Jesus Christ that was upon in and in him. His life would never be the same.
1983 - 1991
Trained by an APOSTLE
It was under the hand, guidance, leadership and love of Apostle Charles O. Miles that young Chip was taught, mentored, and developed spiritually as a real Son. Apostle Miles and Mother Luvenia Miles treated him as a real blood son. Young Adam “Chip” White would spend nights at their home, and drive Apostle Miles to many preaching engagements. Adam “Chip” White would serve as an Apostle’s Attendant and Junior Deacon from the young age of 16.
Adam “Chip” White’s life was transformed as he held the mic and watch in close view, Apostle Miles casting out devils, healing all manner of sickness and disease and leading thousands to the saving grace of Jesus Christ as their personal savior Adam had no idea that he was being shaped, molded and prepared to one day stand in the office of an Apostle himself. He was content being a son, not ever seeing himself as anything more. But God had other plans for Adam “Chip” White III. Even in his teens, Adam began to walk in the footsteps of Apostle Miles and in the steps of his anointed, Bible preaching Father, Adam Henry White Jr. Young Adam began giving speeches and inspirational talks in church and inspired many other young people in the church and in his generation.
1991
Called at the Age of 20
At the age of 20 while driving to church, the Holy Spirit came upon Adam with a strong anointing and with tears, the Holy Spirit spoke to him and said, “Bring My Souls, Bring My Souls, I LOVE THEM.” Adam knew God’s hand was on his life from birth, but this was the first time the Holy Spirit had spoken to him so strongly and that his calling was clear. In that moment he saw that in every single human being is a “soul” that God created and that HE Loves. Adam would never see people the same way and felt how much God loved each one of us.
1993
Preached first Sermon at Age 22
2 years later, Adam confessed his calling to Apostle Charles O. Miles and Apostle Miles scheduled him for his first ministerial sermon at the age of 22 at the International Gospel Center on a Tuesday Night. Adam prayed, fasted and prepared with all his heart, to give a sermon that lasted for only 15 minutes. He was out of notes and had no more to say. Yet Apostle Miles was so loving and encouraging to young Adam.
Adam felt discouraged, but it was Apostle Miles’s son, Pastor Marvin N. Miles that stopped him in the basement of the church and said, “Your message may have been short, but it was EFFECTIVE.” Those words stay with Adam, and he never forgot them. It was how long you preach, but how effective your message was that makes a difference.
Under the influence of Apostle Charles O. Miles, Adam would go on to meet, study, and follow the lives of many other notable Apostles such as, “Apostle Richard D. Henton”, “Apostle Lobis Murrary”, “Apostle V.B. Washington”, “Bishop R Taylor”, “R.W. Shambach”, “Morris Cerullo” and “Benny Hinn”
2014
Started "Adam White Speaks" and AW Empowers, Inc.
After studying leadership, managing change, working in management positions and helping leaders in organizations, the Holy Spirit inspired Adam to be the founder and create of Adam White Speaks/ AW Empowers, Inc, and organization designed to help associations, companies and leaders accelerate their progress, their success, and become better leaders in their industries.
Without any speaking experience, or joining any organization, Adam was anointed to speak in the Marketplace and to the business community. In a short time, Adam began to get booked all over the country from state to state and region to region. He Keynotes, like, “Leader of Influence”, “How to Manage Change”, “Servant Leadership”, and “The Power of Resilience” began to explode as organizations requested these programs again and again.
Adam traveled to 42 states across the country and into parts of Canada. God was training and developing Adam to become an excellent speaker, how to quickly move a crowd of people and how to develop leaders. While Adam thought this was is main purpose, it was really the hand of God training him for what would become ministry. He was called a “Motivational Speaker”, but God called him a Market Place Apostle and business became ministry. Countless people felt the power of God and in tears after hearing and attending Adam’s Keynotes which were under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

2020
The Visit of the Holy Spirit
After the call of God to Bring Souls came at the age of 20, it would be 29 years later that the Holy Spirit would visit Adam in a very profound and dynamic way. One morning in September at about 2am the Holy Spirit woke Adam up and visited him with power and anointing. Adam began speaking in tongues, crying, surrendering and yielding to the Spirit of God.
From that day in September, the Holy Spirit would wake Adam up between 2 and 3am every morning (without an alarm clock and without fail) and he would pray under the anointing again and again. This went on for the next 5 years of his life.
2023
Married Lady Marie
As childhood church friends, Adam and Lady Marie reconnected almost by accident in a simple conversation about music on Facebook. Little did either of them know, God was orchestrating their conversation and their relationship. In the next 2 years Adam and Lady Marie would develop a friendship and a love for each other. Adam prayed to the Holy Spirit and said, if she is not my wife, take her and these feelings out of my life. Adam confessed to the Holy Spirit that he wanted HIM to choose is wife, and that if he had to walk alone (with no wife) he was willing to do so because of his love for Jesus.
The Lord heard Adam’s prayer and on November 1, 2023, God bless and sanctioned their marriage to one another in beautiful Orlando Florida, under the officiating of the anointed Apostle Jeronn C. Williams, long time brother and friend of Adam and pastor/founder of New Life Cathedral in Atlanta, Georgia.
Lady Marie became the chosen soul mate, business partner, ministry partner and love that Adam would need in the coming years to launch ministry and continue in business.
When Adam shared the vision of the ministry and business with Lady Marie, there was never an ounce of disagreement, she was in perfect harmony with the vision and in fact, Adam’s vision from the Holy Spirit, was in perfect alignment with her own words from the Lord that she would become a First Lady. Wow, the Holy Spirit is Amazing and He never makes mistakes. He is absolute perfection.
Adam still maintains the testimony, that marrying Lady Marie, was a gift from the Loving Holy Spirit, from a loving Jesus, and from a loving Abba Father, and he will always be grateful to have such a Beautiful, Amazing, Partner and Love in Lady Marie White.
2021 - 2025
The School of the Spirit
"Spiritual Training & Preparation
Over the next 5 years, Adam didn’t know that the Holy Spirit was working on him, in him and would work through him as preparation for ministry in the coming years. He had been successful in the speaking business, but God wanted more from Adam. He was good in the Marketplace, but good was calling him into Ministry.
The next 5 years of consistent prayer, fasting and reading the word, changed his life forever and prepared him spiritually for the journey in ministry, obedience, and the birthing of spiritual ideas based on Kingdom principles, and to step into his God-given assignment…Bringing Souls to the Kingdom of our God.
It was in these 5 years, that God showed Adam, the Blueprint for his ministry, for his calling, for his books, for his life. His phone quickly filled up with words, visions, and revelations from the Holy Spirit that was to be fulfilled in his lifetime. It was also in these 5 years that the Holy Spirit would visit him again and again and even demonic spirit would attack him. It was also in these 5 years that the Holy Spirit opened up the scriptures to Adam’s eyes and he could see parallel scriptures connecting from Genesis to Revelation. Adam began to teach the word with Power and Authority and the his revelatory knowledge of the word became profound. Truly the 7 perfect dimensions began resting upon him through prayer and fasting: The Spirit of Knowledge, The Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Understanding, The Spirit of Counsel, The Spirit of Power (Might), The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord.
2025
THE YEAR OF MANIFESTATION
After 5 years of being in the wilderness like Jesus, Moses, and Elijah, fasting, praying, seeking the Lord’s face, seeking the Lord’s voice, praying for direction and clarity and being trained by the Holy Spirit in the Cave of Adullam, after death to self and emptying himself of himself, the Lord spoke to Adam and declared the year 2025 to be the “Year of Manifestation."
5 years of preparation, 5 years of praying in the spirit, 5 years of demonic and spiritual attacks, 5 years of spiritual revelation and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, 5 years of deny himself as Jesus did, 5 years of sacrifice and surrender. His moment to truly be used by God had finally come.
In the year 2025, manifestation came. Adam would see unusual attacks from the kingdom of darkness even from his own family members. But God never let him walk alone. The Presence of the Holy Sprit was always there.
Manifestation in May of 2025, Adam would become an Ordained Minister with the laying on of hands by Pastor Marvin N. Miles and ordained by the International Gospel Center.
Manifestation in August 2025, Adam would have the honor of officiating and performing his first wedding in beautiful Novi Michigan. Just as Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding, Adam would also have the miracle of marrying 2 people for his first wedding as an ordained minister.
Manifestation on September 1, 2025, With Holy Spirit perfect precision and spiritual timeline accuracy while driving to pick up his mother on Saturday, September 1, 2025 (exactly 5 years later from the visit of the Holy spirit in 2020), the Holy Spirit visited Adam White again with a very strong anointing. Adam could barely see the road for the tears, the cries, and the tongues. The Holy Spirit spoke into Adam’s spirit and said, “I have released you.” “September 1, 2025, is your release date, write it down."
God told him, its time to emerge from the cave, its time to emerge from the wilderness.
This was the final confirmation in his spirit, along with many, many confirmations that had come to him before through Apostle’s, strangers, family, Bishops, that he was truly called to preach the gospel, to be a Shepard after God’s own heart, to visit nations and many more word’s from the Lord.
