Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington has found a new chapter in his life by being baptized and receiving a ministry training license at Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ in New York City. The 69-year-old actor, who previously announced plans to retire from the film industry, celebrated this new turn with his wife Pauletta.
Washington was presented with a certificate of baptism and a ministry training license on Saturday, marking a full circle moment 50 years after being prophesied by Ruth Green at his mother’s beauty parlor when he was 20. In an emotional speech, Washington shared that he had always felt guided by God and expressed gratitude for the turning point in his life.
He spoke about how his journey in ministry follows his recent announcement of leaving Hollywood and hinted at a connection between this new act and Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ. Denzel Washington stated that he was put on earth to share the example, power, wisdom, and grace of God in his life, emphasizing the importance of faith and gratitude.
The actor’s wife Pauletta also praised her husband, calling him the head of their house and a great role model for their children. This new chapter marks a significant shift for Washington, who will soon turn 70.
