They say we’re all God’s children, but these kids were a little closer than most.

There are quite a few celebrites that grew up with a parent (usually the father) who was a man (or woman) of the Spirit.
We know you might be familiar with some of Hollyweird’s Holy hero’s and heroines, but not so familiar with others. In either case allow us to present the famous faces who were rasied as PK’s.
