City preacher Rev Lucy Natasha was involved in church activities from a tender age. Both her mum and grandma are also pastors.

Speaking to People Daily, the bright-faced woman of God said growing up, she wanted to become a journalist.

"I admired news anchors and I always thought I would one day be on the local TV screens — of course, I made it to the screens, though not reading news, but preaching." 

Natasha said that by the age of 19 years, she was already an evangelist.

Natasha's husband Prophet Carmel is also a third-generational pastor, born and raised in India.

The couple said they have been able to come to common ground when dealing with cultural differences.

"It is a blend of cultures. I originally come from India, but I reside in Canada. Fortunately, we are both Christians and with the cultural difference aside, we have common values and virtues," Carmel said.

Natasha said their families have supported their union.

"Because of our similar backgrounds, it was easy for our families to gel. Of course, just like any other couple, we had our worries when introducing each other to our respective families.

But we didn’t experience any resistance, which made our relationship easier, especially for our traditional marriage ceremony," he said.

Natasha said she wanted to get married when the timing was right.

The couple got engaged in November 2021 at a church event followed by a traditional wedding two months later in January this year.

They then proceeded to have a civil marriage at Attorney General’s office and got their marriage certificate.

The couple is planning to hold a white wedding in India and a celebration in Canada soon.
