Bishop T.D. Jakes' MegaFest, which many consider to be his signature event, is getting shelved for a second year. The Bishop has decided to focus his efforts on conferences such as For Ladies Only, For Men Only, etc. His explanation for the decision is below.
"After much thought and consideration, we have decided not to host MegaFest in 2008. The Potter's House will revisit the idea of hosting MegaFest in future years and will announce that decision publicly, once made. The Potter's House has immensely enjoyed the popular event and we are overwhelmed with the support and interest that we have received in Atlanta as well as nationally, regarding MegaFest.
At this point and time, we have decided to focus our efforts on our other events such as For Ladies Only, For Men Only, The Pastors' and Leadership Conference and our Faith for Africa missionary efforts, to name a few.
I would like to emphasize that the ministry's decision does not in any way reflect negatively on Atlanta. Mayor Shirley Franklin and the citizens of Atlanta, as well as the city's government including the Georgia Dome, Georgia World Congress Center, Philips Arena, the Convention and Visitors Bureau officials, hotels and restaurants have all gone beyond our most ambitious expectations as they made our conference attendees feel welcomed and their presence appreciated. On behalf of The Potter's House church family, our partners, and friends, we extend our sincerest gratitude to the great city of Atlanta.
The Potter's House is focused on and committed to providing our members and those that attend our events with a thought-provoking, moving, meaningful and spiritually based experience. We will continue to look at our events to ensure they accomplish these goals."
