Jesse Duplantis, minister of the Gospel, motivational speaker, television personality, and best-selling author, has been in full-time ministry since 1976 and is the founder of Jesse Duplantis Ministries, located in the Greater New Orleans area of south Louisiana in the United States of America. With over four decades of sharing his unique blend of humor and faith around the world, generations of believers have been inspired by his messages and countless numbers have come to know Jesus Christ as Savior through his ministry.

Known for his unflinching, status-quo-breaking messages and humorous take on experiences in the life of the believer, Jesse continues to draw large audiences of believers through social media, television, and meetings held around the world. With speaking engagements booked years in advance, Jesse Duplantis continues to keep an intense traveling schedule, flying throughout the United States and the world preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With no booking agents pursuing meetings for him and no set fees imposed upon churches for speaking engagements, Jesse chooses his outreach meetings based on the same two criteria he always has: invitations that come in and prayer over each one. This uncommon way of scheduling in today’s world means Jesse’s many followers may find him speaking in some of the largest churches and venues in America and the world, as well as a great many small and growing congregations, too. No church is too big or small for the Holy Spirit, as he says.

Side by side with his wife Cathy Duplantis, the co-founder and chief of staff of Jesse Duplantis Ministries and the senior pastor of Covenant Church in Destrehan, Louisiana, Jesse continues to fulfill his life’s calling by daily taking up the Great Commission of Jesus Christ: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Through social media, television broadcasts, books, and other ministry products, as well as through many evangelistic meetings, the JDM website, the JDM app, and Voice of the Covenant magazine, Jesse Duplantis continues to see growth in his ministry and expand each year while maintaining his roots. Jesus is the center of his life. The salvation of lost people and the growth of believers is the purpose of his ministry. And for both he and his wife, every day is another day to “Reach People and Change Lives, One Soul at a Time.”

This is an excerpt from Jesse's book, "Heaven - Close Encounters Of The God Kind" in which he tells of the wonderful things he learned during his trip to heaven in 1988. When I was with Paul in Heaven, I was so excited to be with a man who did so much to teach us...

A Word of Rest

A Word of Rest

Have you ever had somebody come up to you and say, "Uh, excuse me, but the Lord gave me a word for you?" How many of you have ever had that happen to you? The first thing your mind does when you hear that is to look at the person giving the word and see if they...

Pajama Jogging

Pajama Jogging

I have a pair of pajamas that Cathy has faithfully tried to throw away for twenty years. They're so old they don't even have any elastic around the waist. It all wore off, so I have to either hold them up when I walk or tie a knot at the waist, or else they fall...

Trouble With Pantyhose

Trouble With Pantyhose

I think whoever invented control-top pantyhose for women was a genius. That person must be rich, too, because almost every woman wants to buy those things. Incidentally, have you ever noticed that the women who buy those are also the ones who need them the worst?...
