Academy Award winner Denzel Washington was baptized and received his training license to become a minister at The First Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ Eastern New York.
The Academy Award-winning actor, who turns 70 next week, was baptized at The First Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ Eastern New York on Saturday and received his training license to become a minister in a ceremony that was live-streamed on Facebook. Denzel Washington shared a story about Miss Ruth Green, a woman in his mother's beauty parlor who he says 'prophesied' that he'd 'travel the world and preach to millions of people.
' 'Man gives an award, God gives a reward, that's what my mother told me about the eighth or ninth time I lost an Academy Award,' Washington began. 'Miss Ruth Green, 50 years ago, as we speak, actually. 50 years ago, I turn 70 next week. I was 20 when i sat in my mom's beauty parlor and Miss Ruth Green was known to have the gift of prophecy. Some of you may know this story.' 'She prophesied that 'boy, you are going to travel the world and preach to millions of people,'' he continued. 'She didn't say you were going to get back in school. She didn't say you were gonna become an Academy Award. She didn't say any of those things. She said you're gonna travel the world and preach to millions of people.' Washington then thanked God for all he's done for him and said, 'So if he could do this for me, there's nothing he can't do for you. The sky literally is the limit. And there is no limit to the sky.' Pauletta Washington also took the mic and honored him. She shared how the two met on the set of a film, were reintroduced at a party and how they reconnected at a play they both attended.'The lights came on at intermission and we were sitting next to each other,' she recalled about their story. 'And 45, 46 years later, here I'm still sitting next to him'
