TD Jakes to Be Recipient of 2013 'BET Honors' for Humanitarian Efforts


Pastor T.D. Jakes of the Potter's House, located in Dallas, Texas, will be a part of the Black Entertainment Network's "BET Honors" special airing in February 2013, the network announced last week.

 

The BET network announced Thursday, Dec. 20 that Jakes will be honored for his humanitarian work, primarily in the areas of leadership and education.

 

Jakes, who is the pastor of the Potter's House, which boasts an attendance of 17,000, has contributed significantly to humanitarian work in the United States through various programs, including the Texas Offenders Reentry Initiative, which helps former offenders smoothly transfer back into society, and MegaCARE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to worldwide philanthropic work.

 

Jakes also serves as a guiding voice for many American Christians seeking answers to modern-day issues and tragedies.

 

For example, Jakes has recently spoken out on the school shooting which took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14. 2012.

 

"I pray for America to be united in its collective reasoning so that this massacre and those that came before it may be abated, once and for all," Jakes wrote in a prayer dedicated to those involved in the Sandy Hook shooting, entitled "A Prayer For Newtown," published by The Huffington Post on Dec. 21.

 

 

"We are Your children often overwhelmed and staggering under the weight of our responsibilities, derelict in our duties and destitute of a resolution without You! Help us to make sense of our times," Jakes added.

 

In addition, Jakes previously told MSNBC's "News Nation with Tamron Hall" that in tragic times such as these "we all are mutually responsible to make sure our brothers are well taken care of and definitely that our children are kept safe."

 

The famed pastor will accompany actress Halle Berry, musician Chaka Khan, music executive Clarence Avant, and female basketball star Lisa Leslie in the February televised honoree ceremony.

 

The special is a part of the BET's Black History Month schedule, and involves the recognition of notable African Americans who have excelled in the areas of music, literature, entertainment, media, service and education, according to Multichannel News.

 

The honoring ceremony, which will be hosted by actress Gabrielle Union, will be taped in Washington D.C. on Jan. 12 and will air on the BET Network on Feb. 11.

 

Previous "BET Honors" recipients include actor Jamie Foxx and musician Sean John Combs, among others.

  11. I ѕense like eаch οf the infо is
    ѕo contrаdictory аvаilable. I used to be lately identifіed with Strеp c it had beеn a гаndоm eхamіnаtіon I went to doc simρly bеcause I retain haνing thiѕ odd еmotion likе an allегgy wherе by my throat lookѕ like іts сlοsing up beѕіdes іts nοt each indiѵіԁual worκіng ԁаy ѕіmilaг tо 2x per wеek.
    Sο doc ρhone cаlls anԁ ѕuggests you've strep c but your not contagious we do not actually need to treat it except if you would like to. So I choose to take care of it given that on the net almost everywhere you read that if you do not handle it might become a secondary infection. Right after my second capsule of penicillin I obtained that sensation like my throat was closing up and i commenced to experience like feverish and just completely worn out. Now I dont know if I must just take the tablets or if I ought to halt. With every one of the contradictions primarily inside of the medical neighborhood what am I supposed to complete??

  12. In the event you consіdeг you may benefit fгоm a humіdifieг,
    try a cheap just one verу fіrst. Line dry youг сlothes indoorѕ, prefеrablу from the
    room you ѕlеep in (wе do it from the bathroom conneсteԁ to
    our beԁroom). It gives a rеal boost οf humidity.
    Thiѕ is certainly assuming thаt

    The funny thing is that because this diet is likely to appeal to you.
