Pearly Ragland Gaddie was a native of Wilmer, Arkansas. She surrendered her life to Christ at the age of twenty-one, and soon she and her husband, Apostle Lee Edward Gaddie, began ministry together. Known to most as Prophetess Gaddie, she was a spiritual mother, mentor, pastor, teacher, evangelist and author. She was officially licensed and ordained to the ministry in 1973.
In 1984 the entire Gaddie family moved to Houston, Texas, where they re-established their New Jerusalem Whole Truth Church that has grown into a thriving congregation. Pearly was the Co-Pastor and headed up the Women’s Department. All who experienced her style of ministry were blessed by her passion, humor, and straightforward insight into the God she serveed and the way He worked. She was the mother of seven and the grandparents of sixteen. She will be dearly missed.
