Rev. T. D. Jakes

Although the young "T. D." was the part-time music director at the Baptist church where he grew up and had been preaching part-time since college, it wasn’t until 1982 — the year the Charleston-area chemical plant where he worked closed and his father died of kidney disease — that he began full-time ministry. Two years earlier, Greater Emanuel Temple of Faith had opened its storefront doors to an initial congregation of 10 with Bishop Jakes as its Founder and Pastor. In a short time, his fresh and inspiring messages transcended racial lines, spread word-of-mouth, and drew a large and growing integrated congregation in a historically divided community.
