ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Whitbourne Hutchinson

Whitbourne Emanuel Hutchinson is a Caribbean-born native from Jamaica, West Indies. Whitbourne is the second child of Ferdinand & Vincelita Hutchinson. He was born on Thursday, January 25, 1945, marked by his unique pursuit of excellence. Whitbourne relocated to New York City in 1967 on a student visa, pursuing certification in photography & cinematography at Germain School of Photography. He completed his studies, and God’s favor opened doors to employment on Wall Street at Dempsey Tegeler as a mail clerk. His interest in learning led him to be in-house trained in computer operations. These advancements came with challenges, which only seemed to propel Whitbourne forward. His love for God remained his anchor, and God ordered his steps. He served faithfully in the East New York Church of God of Prophecy in just about every department, including choir director, youth director, public relations, and transportation. He was licensed in ministry (1973) and eventually appointed to statewide positions. Positions and titles reveal only a small part of the story; the rest is embodied in service. During this tenure, Whitbourne acquired his associate's, bachelor's, and master’s degrees. After forty years of pastoral ministry, he was appointed to serve internationally as Regional Presbyter for the Northeast Caribbean area (now the Paragon Region) for ten years (five of which were dually shared with pastoral work). Whitbourne retired from appointed ministry as of Monday, August 31, 2020, to devote the rest of his life to being patriarch to his family and a servant leader called by God. Whitbourne wedded the love of his life, Ingrid Ann Pole, on Wednesday, April 18, 1973, in Brooklyn, New York. Fifty years of marriage (GOLDEN) was marked on Tuesday, April 18, 2023! It was publicly celebrated on Friday, July 21, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia!! He is the father of eight biological children, three of whom departed this life within minutes of their birth. In order of their birth, the five remaining offspring are Vietta Ann, Venere Emanuel (deceased in 2015 at the age of 40), Verona Celeste, Deborah Vania, and Daniel Vaughn.
