“My grandparents are very excited for me. They had to drive all the way from KwaMhlanga to come see my first sermon and they were so proud. For them it’s not about a different church, it’s about the whole purpose of serving God. It made them more proud that I’m still along the foundation that they laid… everyone was happy, they just didn’t see it because I was a little bit wild” she said.
Pearl began her spiritual journey in February this year under the pastoral guide of Pastor David of Triumphant Church and admits that she is now in it for the long run.
