Bishop T.D. Jakes’ daughter, Sarah Jakes, provides an update oh her father’s health following a recent medical emergency.

While giving his sermon on Sunday, at The Potter’s House Church in Dallas, Bishop Jakes stopped preaching before he was seen shaking. The sermon was being live-streamed at the time of the emergency.

Sarah expresses, “hey family, I know today’s been an interesting day for us, But we didn’t want to lay down without giving you all an update about how everything is going with Bishop,” Sarah and her husband explained. 

“Obviously today could have been a tragic day. But it wasn’t by mercy of God, by the grace of God. Bishop is doing well. He’s recovering well. He’s under medical care. He’s strong. We’re trying to get him to sit down. He’s the strong Bishop that we know.” 

Sarah added, “I’m so grateful that he’s already beginning to improve and I think it’s just a reminder even going into this holiday season week to love on the people who you hold near and dear and just take the time to be grateful for all the people God’s given you.” 

Jakes’ church, Potter’s House, also shared a statement following the emergency. The states say the Bishop “experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour long message.”

“Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals,” the church said. “The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community.”

We are wishing him a full and speedy recovery.
