She was born again at an early age and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1987.Trained and educated as a registered nurse and midwife in Essex, England, she was recruited from London, by the Medical College of Virginia University Hospital, where she worked for many years. Three months after arriving in the United States, she met her husband, Tom. They have been happily married for 40 years and are the blessed parents of four married children which include three sons (Christopher, Nicholas, and Jonathan), one daughter (Stephanie), three lovely grandsons (Thomas, Benjamin, and Fitzgerald), two precious granddaughters (Veda and Josephine), and a blessed step-grandson (Joshua). They are all Nana's heart and joy.Pearlene loves the Lord and enjoys reading and studying His Word, and she is learning daily to be still to listen to His gentle voice. She enjoys wonderful times of prayer and fellowship with Him. She is a prophetic intercessor, a licensed and ordained minister of the Gospel, and a chaplain.Having pursued studies in pastoral care, she has worked as a chaplain within the hospital. She is the founder of "God's Precious Pearls" ministry, where she enjoys mentoring and teaching the Word of God, as well as encouraging and mentoring God's daughters from her life's experience, according to Titus 2. She is "Mama Pearl" to many young women and "Nana Pearl" to her precious grandchildren.For relaxation she enjoys sewing, cooking, decorating her home, gardening, and writing. She places much emphasis in making her home a "Haven of Rest" for her family and all who enter, where they can experience an atmosphere of God's peace and His love. She feels the body of Christ needs to be encouraged and strengthened daily.A couple of guiding scriptures that she lives by are, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just in fact as you are doing" (1 Thess. 1:11) NIV and "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you will be hardened by sin's deceitfulness" (Hebrews 3:13 KJV). Especially during these crucial days we are living in, it is important to know that the battle increases but surely the victory is ours.She strives to walk daily with the Holy Spirit and trust Him to lead her each day in the blueprint of her life, which was ordained before she was knitted in her mother's womb. (See Psalm 139:14-16 KJV).For further information on the ministry of encouragement and exhortation through God's Precious Pearls Ministry, you may contact her at God's Precious Pearls Ministry Gems123@ptd.net .view less
