Bishop T.D. Jakes is bringing the MegaFest conference, one of America’s largest Christian events drawing tens of thousands of people, for the first time to his support base in Dallas, Texas, in August 2013.
The conference, which can attract more than 100,000 participants, will run Aug. 29-31 at the Dallas Convention Center, according to The Dallas Morning News.
MegaFest is part of the ministry outreach of Jakes, senior pastor of the 30,000-member The Potter’s House church in Dallas.
The announcement was made Friday at the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau’s annual meeting as the city officially launched its new branding campaign, “Big things happen here.”
Phillip Jones, chief executive of the Dallas convention bureau, was quoted as saying that the event will occupy 6,000 rooms on its peak night and will be one of the largest “citywide” conferences of the year.
Jones added that MegaFest could get up to $2 million in reimbursement from a state fund for special events.
