ATLANTA (AP) — The ex-husband of televangelist Juanita Bynum — Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III — had to relocate services after his Duluth church was evicted.
Attorney Stephanie Friese of Grimes-Square Executive, Inc., says Weeks, the leader of Global Destiny International Ministries, hasn’t made any payments at all since July despite negotiations with the landlord. She says Weeks owes more than $400,000 in rent and fees.
Eviction proceedings began against Weeks in early October. Court records show that Weeks tried unsuccessfully to delay the eviction.
A sheriff’s deputy came to the church campus Friday to carry out the eviction. The campus includes business offices and a church.
Weeks’ divorce attorney Randy Kessler says he was unaware of the eviction, but predicts Weeks will “land on his feet if that is indeed the case.”

How can you not know you are in debt over $400,000??????
I get $4,000 in debt with my mortgage and i am sure they will process eviction papers … give me a break!
And he’s a minister? where’s the accountability?

…and when your enemies are standing over you when you fall down remember what you put out there today against another Christian brother ’cause Jesus cant lie: what you sow you will reap.
This is nothing to “giggle” at. I pray the brother is a better man for what happened and that he does land on his feet. He might be the reason some brother just out of prison may have a bed to sleep in or a pew to sleep on one night.
Be encouraged Brother Weeks and Evangelist Bynum. Be encouraged.

people we have to understand that the way we judge we will be judged so the only thing we can do is pray for him and his situation and that god will be glorified threw this all i know several things just dont look right on his behalf but satan does have power to make things appear to be true and he is an ancient liar so my people please think about what u say the bible says those who curse shall be curse and those who bless shall be bless peace out my people

If any man can look himself in mirror and say they have never failed or lost something then you may point your finger. Remember that finger bends both ways. We are all different, and what he may have lost now GOD will give his ministry a 100 fold blessing. Don’t forget this effects everyone in his church. GOD bless the ones that shows compassion, and may GOD pour compassion in your time of storm.

I’m sure not only Rev. Weeks and his WIFE, BOTH were made aware of the eviction forth coming, both are domestic abusers as a preacher and evangelist.

Let him without sin cast the first stone. We all have a past, can we truly stand in judgment of someone else. Pray for him so that he maybe a blessing for someone.

Ya’ll need to pray for this man and his flock. Churches can mount a lot of debt. Take for example, if you are in a complex and you are paying 10k per month. That’s just rent.
Take care,
