Gordon White Obituary
Born June 20, 1941 he was the son of the late James and Mittie White.
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by a sister, Wanda Bee Motley.
He was the former pastor of Liberty Temple Baptist Church located in St. Louis for over thirty years. A very spiritual man who birthed countless people into the Kingdom of God. He served his Savior all his life spreading the good news of the gospel. He traveled the country and did missionary work in over 40 countries preaching truth and salvation to those who were lost and needy. He recorded many musical albums and preached thousands of sermons that are still in circulation today. He was the happiest standing in the pulpit preaching the gospel. He loved being outdoors and was an avid hunter. Gordon will be greatly missed by all that loved him. He was a very charismatic and unforgettable man who loved his family deeply. Rest in peace Gordon with your Savior.

Pastor White was our Pastor at Liberty Temple Church in St.Louis, Mo. I was a teenager at the time back in 1988,89,90, but I will never forget his Holy Ghost filled spirit. He brought his new wife to our church and she was so sweet and lovely, a woman of God. He even delivered a family member of mine from the demonic spirit of drugs by praying for him. I always wondered what happened to our Pastor and I found out today, 3 years later, that he passed away in 2018. I moved away from St.Louis in 1998. I´m so sorry that he had to suffer from a long illness but I know he is safe now and at peace in the father´s arms. I will never forget Pastor White and what he did for the entire planet, following the orders of the lord. He gave of himself totally and completely. I will continue to pray for his family, for them to stay strong and steadfast always. Thank you so much for all that you did Pastor Gordon White.

Reverend Gordon White was a timely preacher of the Revelation message of the kingdom of God into me 32 years ago. A man of God who's Grace and presence shown through his ministry. Rejoice with the angels.

My husband and I will always remember Pastor White for his beautiful spirit, love, kindness and for his knowledge and revelations of the Word of God. The tapes we own of his preaching and teachings are and always have been a light to our paths.
