Bakker's Begging: Million-Dollar Plea

Televangelist Jim Bakker, facing financial woes, has publicly appealed to his followers for donations to help keep his Morningside Church Productions ministry afloat. Bakker claimed on his broadcast, "The Jim Bakker Show," that the ministry is facing an "impossible" financial situation and needs $300,000 to avoid closing down. Bakker attributed the financial strain to lawsuits and the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted their operations and attendance. He specifically mentioned legal battles arising from his past promotion of a colloidal silver product as a COVID-19 cure, for which he faced lawsuits alleging deceptive marketing practices. Bakker painted a dire picture of the future, warning that without immediate financial assistance, the ministry's ability to continue broadcasting and providing its services would be jeopardized. He urged viewers to contribute any amount they could afford, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. His wife, Lori Bakker, echoed his pleas, emphasizing the ministry's commitment to spreading the gospel and providing resources to those in need. The appeal highlighted the ministry's various outreach programs and the impact they have on communities. The request is urgent in order to prevent the shut down. find the original article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/televangelist-jim-bakker-says-needs-044513388.html
