Gospel singer Size 8 was ordained to be a pastor in 2021, eight years after she quit the secular world.
Speaking to Mpasho.co.ke, the mother of two said it is a great achievement for her and the gospel industry at large.
"I'm so grateful to God for this great honour. By His grace, He has done it."
Size 8 says refusing to compromise has been the biggest challenge.
"Sometimes, I have felt like giving up, but when I look back, I realise it is a must. I have to deny myself something to remain true to God," she said.
"The world keeps calling me, and saying no has been the main challenge. By His grace, I did not backslide," she said.
"I am excited and very emotional about this event since my life hasn't been smooth. The devil has been fighting me but I have made it through. It's a big thing for me and any servant of God."
Two years later, the mother of two has opened her church, Christ Revealed Ministries in CBD.
She was initially serving as a minister at JCC Thika town.
Christ Revealed is also the name of Size 8 Reborn's first-ever album as a performing artist, released on 13 February 2022 at the Panari Hotel along Mombasa Road.
Size 8 Reborn told Buzzroom that prayer meetings and services, for now, are on Fridays from 5 PM and entry is free to all who would like to be blessed.
