One of the major figures of gospel music in the 21st century, Donnie McClurkin was raised in Long Island, New York. As a child he was the victim of sexual abuse, which later led him to embrace faith at an early age and devote himself to worship. As a Grammy-winning artist, Donnie has performed for presidents, contributed songs to several feature films, and even released a documentary about his healing journey. Today, he serves as Senior Pastor of Perfecting Church in Freeport, New York.
