Our late Pastor and Founder Lonnie White was born in (Pitt County) Simpson, North Carolina. He was married to Hattie (Richardson) White. He accepted the Lord Jesus Christ on June 25, 1978 and was filled with the Holy Spirit six months later.

Born out of this union was Debra Renee White-Browne, Delonda White-Smith, Paulette LaShawn White, Shakira Ashanti White, Adarius Edwards White, and TaDarien Devon White.

Prior to being called as Pastor the late Lonnie White served as an Ordained Elder, Assistant to the Pastor, Trustee, Chairman of the Deacon Board, Property Administrator, and Prayer Intercessor for Sunday Morning Church. He traveled locally and internationally in ministry under the leadership of Bishop Paul A Thomas for 15 years.

He continued to obey the Lord serving from 1991 until the Lord called him home (to his reward) under the leadership of Bishop Donald Wright, Founder and Pastor of Scripture Center of Rocky Mount, NC and Jabbok International Ministries (Headquarters) of Forrestville, MD. He served as Chairman of Deacons, Men Leadership, Property Administrator, and Prayer Counselor, until he was called to his next assignment as Pastor and Founder of Redeeming the Times Ministries of Greenville, NC and was ordained by Bishop & Overseer Donald Wright.

As he served in the administrative part of ministry, the Lord allow him to work with excellence and integrity of spirit, as the Spirit of the Lord groomed him to pastor his people. Pastor Lonnie was committed to fulfilling his assignment, and would often say he wanted to be empty of all the that the Lord had called him to do, and just wanted to hear the Lord say well done my son.

While Fasting and Praying in his bedroom in Rocky Mount NC, Pastor Lonnie was carried up in a vision by Holy Spirit and given instruction on Pastoring and building a church for the Glory of the Lord. After sharing with his Bishop and Overseer, Pastor Lonnie obeyed the heavenly vision and started the vision in the living room of Elder Barbara Walston of Greenville, NC (one of the charter members), with 15 faithful members. After four months the Ministry moved to 4310 Eastern Pines Rd. - Greenville, NC. Within a month, the ministry purchased and paid cash for 5 acres of land ( $62,000.00) at 1062 Roosevelt Spain Rd. - Greenville, NC. The Lord continued to deal with Pastor Lonnie White revealing to him that the vision would be clear and established within three years and we would be at the permanent location for the ministry. Within two more years or so we began to build on the future site of the RTTM property, the Lord had given us favor with Millennia Community Bank (now Trust Atlantic Bank) to build a turn key job, (which was unheard of with a three year old ministry). God did it and the Bank approve it (with much prayer and fasting believing to knowing that the Lord was faithful concerning his promises). The Church was completed within 10 months and occupied on Mother's Day Sunday, May 2005, Our First Service.

Evangelist and First Lady Hattie White, answered the call to Pastor when the Lord spoke to her in a vision, after the calling of her husband (to go home with the Lord) the late Founder and Pastor of Redeeming the Time Ministries of Greenville NC and was ordained as Senior Pastor of Redeeming the Times Ministries, Inc by Bishop Donald Wright.
