DALLAS – Bishop TD Jakes suffered an apparent medical emergency at the end of Sunday’s service at The Potter’s House of Dallas during a prayer.

Video of the incident from the Potter’s House stream posted on social media shows Jakes freezing while on stage and lowering his microphone.

More people quickly surrounded Jakes and the stream ended.

Since then, The Potter’s House of Dallas has released a statement saying, “Bishop TD Jakes experienced a minor health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message. Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of physicians. The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and support from the local community.”

Jakes, 67, founded The Potter’s House Church in Dallas in 1996.

The Potter’s House website says the non-denominational church now has more than 30,000 members.
