After a weekslong bout with COVID-19 left famed televangelist Frederick K.C. Price hospitalized with a ravaged heart, lungs and kidneys, sparking a global call for prayers, fellow televangelist Kenneth Copeland said he doesn’t believe the virus will kill his longtime friend.
“For almost 50 years, Fred and Betty Price have been wonderful friends of our family. We have laughed together, cried together, and preached together. We’ve stayed in each other’s homes and have watched each other’s children grow up! We have truly lived life together,” Copeland said in a statement on Facebook urging prayers for Price Wednesday.
“The first time I heard Fred Price in person was in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He ran onto the platform and shouted, ‘I am ready Freddy!’ What a man of God! What a man of faith and power! I don’t believe this disease can kill him. We as a family, and ministry, are standing strong for Apostle Frederick Price!” said Copeland, who leads the Texas-based Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
Price, 89, founded the 28,000-member Los Angeles-based Crenshaw Christian Center, which is led by his son, Fred Price Jr.
An announcement from Minister Baltimore Scott, the staff administrator for the center’s New York operations, shared concerns about Price’s health Sunday, along with a global call for prayer.
“Today, I am calling on all members and friends of Crenshaw Christian Center New York and on everyone everywhere who has been touched by the teaching of Apostle Frederick K.C. Price to join in a worldwide prayer for the Apostle as he faces the health challenges posed by COVID-19. Specifically, we need to pray for the complete restoration of Apostle’s lungs, heart and kidneys and any other parts of his body that are now under attack as he remains in the hospital,” Scott said in a statement on Facebook.
Since the statement released Sunday, Crenshaw Christian Center has not provided any additional updates on Price’s condition and did not immediately respond to requests for further comment from The Christian Post.
Price, who is also well-known from his Ever Increasing Faith ministries broadcast, aired weekly on both television and radio, has been a force in Christian circles for decades.
His church, also known as the Faithdome, was founded in 1973.
And with a seating capacity of 10,000, the church building is recognized as one of the world’s largest houses of worship.
Price, who is a proponent of the prosperity gospel, was once described as a “darling of white evangelical prosperity preachers” and branded a “religious Uncle Tom.”
This punk and charlatan Ken Copeland also supported white supremacist Trump, dumbly claiming Donald had not lost the election. Fraudster! The doctrine of the fake white Jesus has decimated Africa and Black people everywhere. Africa is now freeing itself starting in the mind. Rest in power Fred Price. We will remember you opening your church for lectures by Dr. Claude Anderson, who really does want to free Black people as evidenced by his work.
I PRAY FOR THE PASTOR! UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF THESE TV PREACHERS ROBBED THE POOR THROUGH THE FALSE TEACHING OF TITHING! TITHING IS OLD TESTAMENT AND ABRAHAM TITHED OFF THE SPOILS OF WAR, ETC., NOT OFF HIS RICHES! COPELAND IS A BILLIONAIRE OFF THE BACKS OF THE IGNORANT POOR! HE IS ALSO DEMONIC AND CONTROLLED BY SATAN AND SO IS HIS ILLEGAL PREACHING WIFE. BIBLE SAYS WOMEN ARE NOT TO PREACH OR TEACH MEN. 1 TIM. 2-11-15. READ YOUR BIBLES!!! COPELAND, JESSE AND CREFLO ARE THREE OF THE MOST HERETICS AND CHARLATANS WHO HAVE FLEECED THE FLOCK, WHICH IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!
Silence you fool, Trump is not a racist and he indeed won the election only to have it stolen by counting illegal votes. Biden is the real racist, on video using the n-word and having a KKK wizard as his mentor and friend. Not to mention Biden and Kamala the fake black putting tons of Black people in jail and giving them harsher sentences for decades.
That is exactly why Africa is being raped blind by foreign interests. Still worshiping the fake white (demon)Jesus or Arab masters by another name-whatever. Cleanse yourselves of the Yurugu. Donald and Biden play both sides. They fight among each other as long as whites stay in control, unless we step up. Please tell me you know that by now. Neither criminal Trump nor Jailers Biden Harris care about us. Many of us said so and settle for nothing but tangibles. Stop hiding behind the Bible as an excuse for cowardice and neo-Colonialism. How much have Africa’s impoverished given to false “Pastors”? Free your minds! You don’t even refine your own oil and pay the World Bank when they should be paying you to be able to even show their wicked faces in Africa. Be lenders not debtors-correct? Break the chains and be free indeed! Stop the foolish cartoon quotes and rise up as men, women, and Family.
