Texas megachurch pastor Bishop T.D. Jakes is recovering from an health incident caught on video during a live church service on Sunday at the Potter’s House in Dallas.
The 67-year-old minister, author and movie mogul seemed unable to speak after beginning a prayer for his congregation. Several people rushed to the stage to provide support after he began to tremble and shake.
Church representatives referred to the incident as a “slight health incident,” but no details have been given about what might have caused the emergency.
There is speculation that Jakes may have suffered a stroke, but that could not be confirmed.
Jakes’ daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband Toure Roberts said in an Instagram video:
“Obviously today could’ve been a tragic day, but it wasn’t by the mercy of god by the grace of God, the bishop is doing well, recovering, under well medical care,” son-in-law Toure Roberts said in an Instagram video. “He’s strong. We really can’t thank you enough for your prayers for all your kind words.”
