My name is John Whitfield, and I was born and raised in Washington, D.C. I served 11 years in the United States Army and another six years as a civilian contractor in Germany, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Korea, Afghanistan and Dubai. Using my gifts in media, music, audio/video production, content creation, instructional design and public speaking, I am taking the Gospel to Hollywood and to the entire world. My calling is to be a light unto the world.
I have a personal relationship with Jesus that I developed at an early age, getting saved at the age of seven and being baptized shortly after. I was filled with the most precious gift of the Holy Spirit at the age of 17, shortly after joining the U.S. military and arriving in Monterey, CA. I give total glory and honor to Christ, who causes His presence and anointing to invade everything that I say and do. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19).
I am currently working on my Doctorate in Apostolic Leadership and Applied Ministry. I speak in different locations when called upon, and I intentionally endeavor to “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14)! I walk in all of the fivefold ministry gifts, highlighting whatever gift that God needs me to use at the time. I have a strong calling and passion to see God’s sons realize their purpose, come into alignment with their destiny, and get equipped for the service of ushering in God’s Kingdom here on earth. I believe that the time is coming — and now is — when the last will be first and the first shall be last (Matthew 20:16). This is the season when the sons of God are manifested as we make our way back to God the Father and are restored.
Writing the book Fatherless with my dear and beloved Kierra McKenzie has been a love offering unto my Lord and Savior Jesus, and it is 100-percent divinely inspired by my very Best Friend, Holy Spirit. As you read this book, you will be set free, elevated and come into revelation after revelation of the Father’s love.
