This morning, TD Jakes appeared to have a medical emergency while closing his service in the pulpit this morning. Out of respect for the family and due to the video being triggering, we will not show the full video. But, we will say that his team came to his aid right away as the congregation began to pray.
We ask that you join us as we pray for his full and quick recovery as we also pray for his family and everyone present at today’s service.
