Bishop T.D. Jakes, a best-selling author, movie producer and mega-church pastor, is slated to be the key note speaker this Friday night at Wave Church in Virginia Beach. The event is free and open to the public.

 

Jakes is the chief pastor of The Potter’s House in Texas, a congregation of 30,000 members. He has advised Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and has been recognized by Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in America.

 

“It’s great to have such a phenomenal, world class speaker at the conference,” said Wave Church Pastor Steve Kelly.

 

 Jakes will speak at Wave Church’s yearly Wave Conference, a three-day event promoting leadership and growth for the church, according to Wave Church spokesman Josh Hill. He will speak during the Friday evening session at 7:30. Church officials expect large crowds. 

 

Jakes has had a far-reaching effect as a media mogul. He has authored more than 50 books, including “Woman, Thou Art Loosed,” which has sold 3 million copies and has been adapted as a play and movie. Additionally, he has produced several Hollywood films, including the upcoming movie “Sparkle,” Whitney Houston’s final on-screen performance.
