Bishop T.D. Jakes is known for his role as Author, Movie Producer and Pastor to Mega Church The Potter's House.

Bishop Jakes began the conference in 1994, since then more than 150,000 lives have been changed from the inspirational conference geared for men only.
"Men internalize our pain, this is an opportunity not only for us to come together, strengthen each other through fellowship, common shared challenges that we face, but re-energize ourselves before God, it's a powerful thing, says Jakes."
Since 1994, thousands of men from around the World have come together to attend the ManPower conference. Each year lives are changed and communities are strengthened by the inspiration gained at the annual conference.
Men come from as far as Italy and worship, pray and learn how to deal with their struggles and emotions in life.
