‘I feel like I'm in heaven’ - When Judith Heard went to church

Judith Kanebwa, commonly known as Judith Heard, went to church and realised she's been missing out on lots of things.

During a service hosted by Pastor Wilson Bugembe of Light the World Ministries, Heard said she hadn't been going to church because being a public figure, she didn't want the attention that comes with it. Interesting excuse!

"Right now I feel like I'm in heaven. It's a dream come true for me to be able to walk to church. As a public figure, it's always been hard for me to walk out of my house and go to church because I always felt everybody is gonna be pointing fingers, oh my gosh, she is in church!" Heard said in a video seen by this reporter.

"And today I don't wanna leave the church. I wanna live in church forever."

Pastor Bugembe, who is also a singer, has always invited celebrities to his church.
