MegaFest Equals Spiritual Rebirth Says T.D. Jakes
Bishop T.D. Jakes says a "rebirth" of spirituality is sweeping across the country, and the popularity of MegaFest is a prime example. This massive event — one of the largest Christian assemblies in the country — made its debut in Atlanta in 2004 and won an award for record-breaking campus attendance of 560,000 over the course of three days.
Next week, MegaFest 2005 returns to Atlanta for four powerful days packed with spiritual encouragement, entertainment, motivation, and great family fun. MegaFest combines Bishop Jakes' popular men's conference, "ManPower" and women's conference, "Woman, Thou Art Loosed," with the new mega youth experience, "MegaKidz," at Atlanta’s top venues—the Georgia Dome, the Georgia World Congress Center, Philips Arena, and International Plaza.
Bishop Jakes, pastor of The Potter’s House, a 30,000-member church in Dallas and the force behind MegaFest, will join actor Stephen Baldwin and city leaders for a high-energy kick-off to MegaFest 2005 on Wed., Aug. 3 at the International Plaza.
