For the first time in more than a decade, Bishop T.D. Jakes returns home to Charleston, W.V., for a three-day, power-packed conference where he will encourage people to persevere beyond the current challenges in their lives.
The Birthing Place conference will be held August 13, 14 & 15 at the Charleston Civic Center and includes afternoon and evening worship services and live entertainment from some of the country's most notable speakers and artists.
Bishop Jakes is the popular pastor of The Potter's House church in Dallas, Texas, who TIME magazine has called "America's Best Preacher." Joining him on the program are: Bishop Noel Jones, pastor of City of Refuge, Gardena, Calif.; Pastor Sheryl Brady, pastor of The River, Durham, N.C.; and Bishop Glen A. Staples, pastor of The Temple of Praise, Washington, D.C. The event will also feature legendary gospel group the Clark Sisters and GRAMMY(R) Award-winning Israel Houghton and New Breed.
The conference is intended to steer attendees toward their purpose and inspire them to realize their goals and dreams. A highlight of the event is the Bishop Jakes Small Beginnings Tour. The shuttle tour will feature significant places that transformed and birthed the ministry of Bishop Jakes from a locally-known pastor with a vision to an international preacher and speaker impacting many throughout the world.
"I was 19 when I first became a minister, and I remember facing challenges and setbacks that were extremely difficult and at times made me feel like giving up," said Jakes. "But with God by my side, I pushed through all the obstacles and I want to encourage others to do the same."
Advance media credentials can be obtained by visiting The Potter's House online newsroom.
Registration for The Birthing Place is free and open to the public. For information regarding preferred seating, the Small Beginnings Tour and hotel and travel accommodations, please visit www.tdjakes.com.
