WHEREAS, Pastor Pearl Gary was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Her beloved father, Assistant Pastor Richard Gary Sr. and mother, Minnie Gary, taught their daughter integrity, discipline, self-reliance, to have a giving spirit and love for the Lord; and
WHEREAS, for many years as a young woman, Pastor Gary worked in the church. She was the Choir Director, Sunday School Teacher and Pastor's Assistant. She wore many hats and was always willing to help others. Over 20 years ago, in 1988 at age 21, she became known as Prophetess Pearl at Holy Mount Rose Baptist Church. So began the journey to a higher calling from the LORD; and
WHEREAS, she is a Prophetess, Healer, Entrepreneur, Author and Motivator. Pastor Pearl Gary began fulfilling her call to ministry by founding and serving as Pastor of The Lord's House of Prayer in 2001. It was established as a "hospital" for the people; with "LOVE". The church began its humble beginnings with only 11 members in a small church room located at 3827 Kossuth, inside the Total Life Center in St. Louis, MO; and
WHEREAS, now nine years later, The Lord's House of Prayer resides at 5483 Union Blvd, St. Louis, MO. Pastor Pearl is truly a visionary and today, the church now has a Pastoral Staff, a Ministry Team, Prophetic Ministry, Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, Women's Ministry, Men's Ministry, Dance Ministry, Radio Ministry, Senior Citizen Ministry, Food Pantry Ministry, Deacons and Jr. Deacons, Usher Board, Choir Board, Mother Board, Summer Program and our upcoming Television Ministry; and
WHEREAS, The Church scripture is Psalm 122:1 "I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me, Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord"; and
WHEREAS, Pastor Prophetess Pearl Gary never lost sight of her God Given Vision to accomplish the mission of establishing the Church as a hospital for God's wounded, sick and broken hearted; a place where those who were hurt in the church, spiritually weak, and dying could be restored and renewed back to God's plan for their life. This is the vision that God has given the woman of God.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis that we pause in our deliberations to recognize Pastor Pearl Gary and we further direct the Clerk of this Board to spread a copy of this Resolution across the minutes of these proceedings and to further prepare a commemorative copy to the end that it may be presented to our honoree at a time and place deemed appropriate by the Sponsor.
