I actually grew up playing the piano in the church and was deeply involved in music ministry.
T. D. JakesI started my ministry when I was 19, I was pastoring at 22 and I got married when I was 24, so I was building at such a young age and that fight, that dream and tenacity is still in me.
T. D. JakesI didn't know who I was and I didn't know if what was in me was any good. But my parents taught me to believe in myself and to work until something happens.
T. D. JakesThe New Birth church is a church unto itself who has a board and it has a membership. How they choose to handle their leadership issues it's not something that we can control regardless of which side you stay on that issue. It is their church issue and their responsibility and their response. And I'm saying what I always said that we should just keep on praying for the New Birth church family.
