Juanita Bynum is the daughter of Elder Thomas Bynum Sr. and Katherine Bynum, and one of their five children. From an early age, Bynum was part of school productions, even starring in a middle school production of “My Fair Lady”. She attended the Saints Academy High School of the Church of God in Christ in Lexington, Mississippi. Religion was a distinct part of her life, so she started preaching at revivals and nearby churches after matriculation.
After gaining some recognition for her preaching, the famous evangelist Bishop T.D. Jakes invited her to join one of his conferences in 1996. She moved up from attendee to speaker in just two years, and her career as an evangelist was launched, and Juanita released a video and audiotape series called “No More Sheets” in 1997, about her changed lifestyle. Two years later, she re-preached her series in front of 52,000 spectators at the conference in Atlanta. Soon after, Bynum became a regular on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and one of the most popular televangelists in America.
Juanita Bynum spreads her evangelistic influence via other media such as books, music, and radio. The Christian gospels has earned her a lot of money, and she is internationally recognized. Her organization named Women’s Weapons of Power Conference was established in 2000 and was held annually until 2006, withan average attendance of around 48,000 women. Speaking in front of 20,000-30,000 was a regular gig for her, but a record-attended Christian event in 2004 in Nairobi, Kenya was her biggest success; over 750,000 people came to hear her gospel, which only increased her net worth further.
She was a regular host of the live program of the Trinity Broadcasting Network “Praise the Lord” which was one of the highest rated shows in a 12 month period, during which time her net worth and popularity only rose. Bynum had daily programs on The Word Network, Daystar Network, and other Christian Affiliates. However, her biggest income was from selling books and music albums. With over a dozen books published, she became a New York Times Best Seller. “Matters of the Heart,” “Threshing Floor,” “Spiritual Inheritance,” “A Heart for Jesus Children’s Book,” “The Juanita Bynum Topical Bible” and others brought her several million dollars. Also from 1999 to 2012, Bynum produced nine gospel albums and appeared on many magazine covers.
When it comes to her personal life, Juanita Bynum experienced an unsuccessful marriage in the 80’s, despite being advised not to enter matrimony. Bynum was 21 when married as a virgin, but the marriagey lasted just five years. Juanita struggled to rebuild her life afterwards; she worked as a hairdresser, as a flight attendant, and finally met T.D. Jakes in 1996 who transformed her entirely, professionally and personally. She was subsequently married to Thomas Wesley Weekes from 2002-08.
