Pentecostal "Apostle" Drops Dead after Confessing to Adultery

Bobby Davis, co-pastor with his wife Christine of Miracle Faith World Outreach Church in Bridgeport, Connecticut, recently died of a heart attack after his wife revealed his adultery to the congregation. A church member told the Christian Post that Davis had confessed his infidelity to his wife prior to a church service, and when he entered she demanded that he tell the congregation. After he replied, “Yes, that’s right,” family members reacted in anger. A son attacked him, and a daughter poured water on him. “It was like something out of ... a bad reality TV show” (“Bishop Dies of Apparent Heart Attack,” The Christian Post, Mar. 13, 2014). The church’s web site says that Davis was ordained by T.D. Jakes as “Bishop of the Eastern Connecticut Diocese, Higher Ground Always Abounding Assemblies.” He was a certified marriage and family therapist and a repeat guest on Trinity Broadcasting Network and Promise Keepers seminars.
