Description

America is a nation of stories. Every American has traveled through time and space, and each journey is a unique story. In this series, we share the journeys of our fellow Americans, whether around the neighborhood, across the country, or across the world as we explore what it means to be American in the third century of our democracy.

This chapter in the series “My American Story,” features Pastor Jacoba (Kobie) Vermaak who was born in Apartheid-era South Africa. Her faith led her to campaign against the regime and eventually, begin a new life in Los Angeles, where she has been Pastor of Wilshire Presbyterian Church since 2012.”
