 Terry
“Whittle-Do” Whittenton Rev. Terry Whittenton, a.k.a. Whitle-Do, has been involved in full-time ministry for over 20 years. Terry served as a pastor for 14 years before starting the golden opportunity of ministering to children through clowning for the past 12 years. He has had the opportunity to be a presenter for Arts In Ministry, Circus Magic, FCP, CPC, Southern Baptist Children's Festival and several denominational seminars. Presently, Terry serves as the Children's Ministry Consultant in the N.C. IPHC Conference. As well he travels full-time as a children's evangelist. For seven years, Terry served as the teen director for the Fellowship of Christian Puppeteers national convention. His travels have allowed him to minister in seven states and eight different denominations. His heart is to help train others to effectively minister to children with a mentality of excellence. The father of two beautiful daughters, he understands the importance of ministering to children and implanting values, morals, and faith in them while young. The joy of his ministry has been to see over 2500 children, adults and teens come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Terry is a member of COAI and Kidabra International. On a personal note, he wants to raise the level of clowning and challenge those involved to be the best they can be. |
