 Minister Adrian Wright
Adrian Wright is a chosen vessel that has been anointed by God to declare the Word of God to this generation. In the Bible, God communicated to Jeremiah that “before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” These words have shaped the life and ministry of Adrian Wright and he is now a seasoned young minister that has been prepared for this time and has purposefully endeavored to stay in a position where God could use him.
Born into a priestly family, Adrian is the son of the Honorable Bishop Marion and First Lady Leatha Wright. By the calling of God, when he was 1 year old, his family moved from Georgetown, South Carolina to Durham, North Carolina to start a new church there. It was there that he was taught and received the Word of God, and was baptized in Jesus name when he was just 7 years old and received the gift of the Holy Ghost when he was at the tender age of 8. It was obvious that God saved him at a young age so that he could use him at a young age. He heard the call of God to minister at the age of 12. As a teenager, he held monthly prayer meetings with other teens, on the praise team, over the youth choir, a musician in the church, very active in leadership at church and in school, and as a teenager was known as an intercessor and prayer warrior.
God would deal with him further in his college years. At the age of 19, Adrian Wright founded and organized a college ministry called One Nation Under God where he and his radical staff of college students ministered to other students through weekly Bible Studies, Plays, Conferences, Camps, and Worship Services. The movement headquartered on the campus of UNC-Charlotte and had 6 chapters at different colleges on the East Coast. God used them to minister to thousands of youth and many received the Holy Ghost. At the age of 21, Adrian became one of the youngest Presidents of Carolina State Council Young People’s Union of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World. Again the hand of God was on him, and during his administration many came to God and were saved and delivered. After college, he moved back to Durham to assist with his father’s ministry and pursue his entrepreneurial vision.
Within 3 months after graduating in 2002, Adrian Wright started his own venture and he now is known in the business community as one of today’s most innovative marketing minds. He is the Founder and Chief Executive Consultant of WrightWay International, a full service marketing firm specializing in developing profitable marketing campaigns and integrated materials for entities looking to establish a unique presence in specific markets. With his commitment to excellence and a dedicated team of specialists, WrightWay International has had the opportunity to provide its exceptional marketing services for numerous Governmental agencies, municipalities, public and private institutions, major corporations, and small businesses.
He is married to the most beautiful Wilesha Davis Wright his lifelong friend and childhood sweetheart from the age of 12. They are the proud parents of little miss Adriana Jordin Wright and princess Payton Alise Wright. At his home church of Greater
Emmanuel Temple of Grace, he currently serves as Youth Pastor, Flock Group Leader, member of Pastor’s Advisory Council, Marketing Director, and Praise Team Leader.
Now God is releasing him to speak the pure Word of God to the hearts and souls of men around the world and to ignite a radical global movement that leads us to the will of God in these last days. Adrian Wright has proven himself to be a consummate leader, innovator, and visionary. His ultimate goal is to stay in a humbled position so that he can constantly be used by God as His Vessel.

Elder Millner served as the first president of this ministry. In July of the year 2006 Minister Millner was elevated to the office of Elder at the National Convocation of the United Churches of Jesus Apostolic. This was an unusual accomplishment for someone of his age. Since that time the Lord has continued to open doors for Elder Millner to preach at numerous conferences, revivals, and convocations.
Elder Millner currently resides in High Point, NC with his loving wife Natina. Elder Millner's message to the Body of Christ is one that challenges those that hear him to elevate their level of thinking, while still remaining relevant to everyday life. It is Elder Millner’s life mission to help others fulfill their God-given potential and to give God his absolute best each and every day. To God be the glory!
