Church welcomes special speaker

Pastors Eddie and Pat Trice and the South Plains Church family welcome Jesse Duplantis to Levelland for a special service at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 15.

Duplantis is a dynamic evangelist who has traveled the world since 1978 preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is the founder of Jesse Duplantis Ministries (JDM), which, since its inception, has been using every available voice to invade the earth with God’s love. JDM has its International Headquarters in Destrehan, Louisiana, and additional offices in the United Kingdom and Australia.

A favorite program for many seeking to know more about God, Duplantis’ weekly television program has grown over the years and is reaching 2.7 billion potential viewers worldwide — 302 million in the US alone. His television broadcast is aired in 255 countries and via satellite.

“We are redefining the word broadcast to mean every way we can broadcast our weekly program throughout the earth through TV, Internet, Social Media, and even more to come," Duplantis said in a news release.

In 1997, he and his wife, the Rev. Cathy Duplantis, founded Covenant Church, the International Headquarters Church of Jesse Duplantis Ministries in Destrehan, Louisiana, a suburb in the Greater New Orleans area. In recognition of his many years of sharing God’s message of salvation, Duplantis was awarded an honorary doctorate of divinity degree from Oral Roberts University in 1999.

Duplantis shares a memorable mix of strong, biblical preaching and humorous life lessons through his television program, but also through evangelistic meetings in churches and convention centers, local church outreaches, books that have been translated in many languages, magazines, the internet, social media, and his many inspirational audio/visual teaching resources.

For this meeting, MegaKidz will be open for children ranging from nursery age to fourth graders. There will be a fun, interactive lesson that the kids will learn from and enjoy. MegaKidz is a great learning experience for all age groups.
