Reverend Dr. Reimann. Services were held at Victory Temple, in Denver.
~~
Reverend Pearl Porter was born in Alabama on December 15, 1935. One of fifteen children born to a southern sharecropper, a young Pearl Smith married a sailor, Denton W. Porter. She left her humble beginnings for a life on the evangelical field traveling to camp meetings and conducting crusades across the south and mid-west. The young couple started a family shortly thereafter and had 4 children: Vickie Lynn, Rickie Lane, Ramona Gay and Janna Dennise. They settled in Independence Missouri, where they founded Faith Temple and started a Christian school. Sixteen years into their marriage, D.W. left his family behind, “laid his bible down” and left the ministry altogether. Pearl accepted the call to pick up the ministry herself and began her life as an evangelist in the late 70s. Under the mentorship of her trusted pastor, G.W. DeLatte, Pearl made her way to the mile-high city in the early 80s where she became senior pastor of Wings of Faith Tabernacle in Denver. She conducted several summertime tent revivals throughout the metro area. At one of these revivals, she met Dr. Robert Reimann, a retired chiropractor. After a whirlwind courtship, they married. Rev. Porter and Dr. Reimann were founding members of Victory Temple, which opened its doors in 1984. Her tenacious preaching of the gospel caught like wild fire and Victory Temple hosted many revivals that took the city by storm.They jointly hosted several trips to Israel and began their passionate support of numerous missionaries. After sixteen years of marriage, Dr. Reimann went home to be with the Lord in 1998. Rev. Porter continued her ministry at Victory Temple and expanded the missionary program to help as many as possible around the world. She trudged along, but prayed that God would send her a companion to join the ministry alongside her. In 2006, she met James B. Koehler of Baytown, Texas. They dated briefly and married in August of 2006. Bro. Jim served alongside Pastor Pearl for ten years in the ministry, traveling across the country spreading the Good News. Monthly pastors meetings were formed to help other area pastors connect and support one another. She held the country of Costa Rica near and dear to her heart, traveling 42 times to help build Christian Schools and churches. On April 3, 2016, Pastor Pearl preached her final sermon in front of her family, something she had always envisioned. Even though her health was declining, you couldn’t tell once she started playing the piano. She was surrounded by friends and family that week, staying strong with the knowledge of where she would be going and those she would reunite with. She never wavered in her love and trust in the Lord and went home to be with Jesus on Friday, April 8, 2016.
Rev. Pearl Porter is survived by husband, James Koehler, daughters Ramona Burns and Janna Harris. She is also survived by granddaughters Michelle Hull-Conner, Candy Hull and Denise Hull; grandsons John Porter, Josh Harris, Ryan Burns, Rickie Burns and Teagan Harris; great grand-daughters Tiffany Livingston, Nakiya Fears; great grand-sons Malachi Fears and Drayven Martinez. Also great-great grand-daughters Allanah Livingston and A’niya Fears. Also survived by three sister's; Lucile Steinson, Teresa Hartin and Dianne Hitson
