Bishop T.D. Jakes, senior pastor at The Potter’s House, together with Reverend Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Christian Hispanic Leadership Conference NCHLC) announce an alliance whereby the seminal conference, “ManPower” would become the sanctioned men’s event for the NCHLC, creating the largest, most diverse Christian men’s conference to date. Reverend Rodriguez will also be a featured speaker at the historic event whose 2011 theme is “Breaking New Ground.” ManPower will take place from August 11 to 13 at The Potter’s House in Dallas.
“Our alliance shows that neither language nor culture can withstand the unity of the cross,” said Bishop T.D. Jakes, senior pastor at The Potter’s House and conference Host. “We welcome our Latino brothers and brothers of every culture wholeheartedly as all men of all races face similar challenges every day.”
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez is senior pastor of the California-based Christian Worship Center and named by The Wall Street Journal as one of “America’s Seven Most Influential Hispanic Leaders.” A prominent leader in Latino community, Reverend Rodriguez has been described by CNN as “The leader of the Hispanic Evangelical movement,” and is currently the president of America’s preeminent Latino Christian organization, the NCHLC, which has more than 20 million members.
Founded by Bishop T.D. Jakes, the annual ManPower Conference is a gathering of men from all walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures who come together to discover their God-given gifts and talents and gain essential tools to enhance their spiritual journeys. ManPower is an exhilarating three-day conference, featuring eminent speakers, such as Bishop T.D. Jakes and other renowned guests who will share inspirational messages to men.
The Potter’s House expects to repeat last year’s success when nearly 10,000 men packed the Fort Worth Convention Center to receive biblical impartation from some of the country’s most well-known Christian speakers and musical artists. Approximately 15 percent of the audience included men of Latino dissent from around the nation. The event resulted in an economic impact of more than $3.9 million.
