Jim Bakker Show

Televangelism

From the Studio City Cafe in Branson, MO comes the Jim Bakker Show:

Bakker cuts a relatively low profile in Branson, not advertising his show or trying to compete with entertainers. He considers the cafe to also be a church and the show to be a service with prayer, music and religious messages.

Cafe walls are covered with framed paintings of Jesus, which Bakker signs and sells. …

Bakker pitches jewelry, paintings, flashlights and other “love gifts” to keep his television show going. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Lori Bakker spent months devising a backpack of items useful in surviving a disaster.

“Get one for Grandma, get one for your neighbor, or take this list and make one for yourself,” Jim Bakker said on the show. They ask for a $150 donation for the backpack.

Televangelist plans to move to larger studio in Blue Eye.
