The Wilhite Family
Overview of the ministry
Bro Wilhite had planted and pastored a church for five years prior to serving as the assistant pastor for eight years at Lehigh Valley Baptist Church. He surrendered to follow the Lord's leading to South Africa in April of 2000, and started deputation in the fall. The Lord miraculously provided their needed support and travel fund expenses within one year of deputation. They arrived on the field in mid-October 2001 and settled in the city of Polokwane. After a year-long furlough in 2005, the Wilhites returned to the field in November, and have begun their second term.
They are presently working to establish churches in the village of Mothiba, SA and in the suburbs of Bulowayo, Zimbabwe.
Check out some recent updates from the field.
