Riva Tims, former wife of the late Dr. Zachery Tims Jr., has announced a public memorial service organized by herself and their four children to celebrate the Florida minister’s “life and legacy” on what would have been his 44th birthday.

Tims, pastor of Majestic Life Ministries in Orlando, Fla., shared an invitation to the April 18 memorial with her Facebook followers on Monday after making the initial announcement last week. The invitation flyer reads: “Pastor Riva Tims and the children of Dr. Zachery Tims Jr. would like for you to join them for a memorial service to celebrate the life and legacy of their dad.”

Riva Tims, who was in attendance at Christian evangelist Benny Hinn’s remarriage ceremony to Suzanne Hinn last month, is featured in a photo with her children on the flyer.
The Tims, who divorced in August 2009 due to Zachery Tims’ extra-marital affair, founded New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Fla., in 1996. After the divorce, Riva Tims left NDCC to found her own ministry in Orlando.
When news of Zachery Tims’ death broke on Aug. 12, 2011, a search was launched for a new pastor of the 8,000-member congregation, with minister Paula White announced Jan. 1, 2012, as Tims’ replacement. Riva Tims, however, sued NDCC to challenge White’s installation, before finally withdrawing her claim.
