Dallas, TX -- As one of the most popular spiritual gatherings in the U.S., MegaFest 2006 is much more than most people think. Tens of thousands of people will join Bishop T.D. Jakes in Atlanta, Georgia, July 19-22 for a positive, family friendly experience that offers a wide variety of opportunities for growth, empowerment, and wholesome fun.
MegaFest 2006 offers stimulating workshops, high-energy performances by award-winning artists, and cutting-edge special events at Atlanta’s top venues — the Georgia Dome, the Georgia World Congress Center, Philips Arena, and the International Plaza.
One of the country’s most influential evangelicals, Bishop Jakes created MegaFest by combining the best of his most powerful conferences, and innovative events – Woman, Thou Art Loosed! and ManPower — with the high-energy Mega Youth Experience and MegaKidz. At MegaFest 2006, Bishop Jakes celebrates 30 years of personal ministry spanning humble beginnings to the present as a best-selling author, mega-church pastor, playwright, music mogul, filmmaker, humanitarian, and so much more.
“MegaFest is just such an incredible experience for people of all walks of life and a way we can come together as family and friends in a spirit of unity,” says Bishop Jakes, internationally recognized founder and senior pastor of The Potter’s House, a 30,000-member church in Dallas. “The comedy show is one of several planned activities suitable for the entire family.”
MegaFest’s sidesplitting, wildly popular laugh-fest, “Just Churchin’” showcases the comedic talents of host Steve Harvey, and features Tommy Davidson, Jonathan Slocumb (left), David Mann (Mr. Brown), and Vickie Winans at this family friendly event. Supported by the Clorox Company, makers of Pine-Sol cleaner, the comedy show will take place on Friday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m. in Atlanta’s Philips Arena as a separate ticketed event.
In addition to family friendly fun, conference attendees will also benefit from free health and wellness testing, health-related screenings, and health education workshops. And once again MegaFest will broadcast live via satellite to inmates in several hundred U.S. prisons. Catch it on TBN.
