SA Celebs Who Became Pastors

SA Celebs Who Became Pastors. In many cases the entertainment industry and Christianity rarely go together. These celebrities though managed to be church leaders while still making a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.

The likes of Pushie Watson, Benjamin Dube, Dr Tumi, Kabelo and Khaya Mthethwa are clear examples that you can be anything you want to be, if you set your eyes on it.
