Kelly Rowland shared during new show, Now with Natalie when she knew God had her here for a bigger purpose than winning awards.
During the show broadcasted on the Hillsong Channel, Kelly spoke of the time she was on tour in Europe with Destiny’s Child and they sang their rendition of “The Lord’s Prayer.” She witnessed the impact it had on little kids who were crying at the foot of the stage and it shifted her focus.
“We felt such a great responsibility. I felt like this is really what we are here for,” she explained. “You give people purpose through song but then when you’re able to see them in a show and you see their lives are touched by things that you say, or something you’re singing and it’s your personal faith and you’re able to share that with fans, that’s kind of remarkable.”
“That’s when you feel like you’re at the right place at the right time. I know that what He has me here for is bigger than the records and awards and everything else.”

It was at Israel Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, where Kelly knew singing was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. She joined the choir and sang her first solo at age five.
