PRAYERS POUR IN FOR TD JAKES AFTER MEDICAL EMERGENCY ON STAGE
Dallas megachurch leader Bishop T.D. Jakes, 67, sent shockwaves through the Christian community on Sunday when he suffered a medical emergency during a sermon at The Potter’s House.
The incident occurred just days after Bishop Jakes returned to the United States following a high-profile trip to Zimbabwe, where he met with political and religious leaders.
Eyewitnesses described the dramatic scene as Bishop Jakes’ voice faltered, and he dropped his microphone, visibly shaking before church staff and attendees rushed to his side. The livestream of the sermon was cut short, replaced by an off-camera voice urging the congregation and viewers to “begin to pray.”
Bishop Jakes’ team later issued a statement, assuring the public of his stability: “Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals. The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community.”
The health emergency occurred mere days after Bishop Jakes returned from Zimbabwe, where he had been on an official visit. The trip, which involved extensive travel and a packed schedule, was widely covered in local and international media.
As news of the medical emergency spread, prayers and well-wishes poured in from around the world. “We are lifting you up in prayer, Bishop Jakes,” one follower posted, while others expressed gratitude for his continued leadership.
The incident serves as a reminder of the physical toll that extensive travel and ministry commitments can take, even on seasoned leaders like Bishop Jakes. As he recovers, the global Christian community remains united in prayer and support.
