“That’s the reward. All the accolades, it just comes and all that,” said Jerkins. “That’s what the world sees. But now that I’m older and look back, I’m like, ‘The ultimate reward—and I’m blessed to have all these stories—but the ultimate reward was the time that we prayed together.’”

Jerkins also shared about when Jackson’s vocal coach told him that the “Bad” singer prayed to receive Jesus.

“The ultimate reward is when I go to his funeral and Sandra Crouch and Seth Riggs, his vocal coach says, ‘Michael received Christ two weeks ago. He had us pray. He did the Sinner’s Prayer.’ That’s the reward. That’s what I’m trying to get everybody to understand,” Jerkins said.
