"Sunday was a very special day for me in terms of my ministry and spiritual growth," the one-named TV talent told us exclusively. "God is in control and I'm moving in divine direction!"
The 37-year-old star of 'The Apprentice' and 'Celebrity Apprentice' has been a member of the K.W. Tulloss-led Weller Street Missionary
Baptist Church for two years."I love my church! It's a small little church, but God is doing big things," she shared.

Despite starring in a dating show 'The Ultimate Merger' for TV One last year, Omarosa is currently in a relationship with Oscar nominee Michael Clarke Duncan. The two have been an item since spring of 2010.

Women make great pastors/preachers. Some folks are just afraid of the closer relationship women have to GOD than men. Women are created in GOD's image and can deliver the gospel. I wish Omarosa well. Good for her!

@ SMH, That was mean, unchristian and uncalled for. She may have come across as a domineering, overbearing and hard tack woman, but that doesn't mean she isn't sincere in her ministry.
@ all the spammers: Will you PLEASE take your garbage some place else? If I were in the mood for shopping, a new romance, etc., I certainly wouldn't be doing it here! And I feel pretty confident that most others will agree with me.
