Atlanta, GA -- The ex-husband of televangelist Juanita Bynum -- Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III -- had to relocate services after his Duluth church was evicted.
Attorney Stephanie Friese of Grimes-Square Executive, Inc., says Weeks, the leader of Global Destiny International Ministries, hasn't made any payments at all since July despite negotiations with the landlord. She says Weeks owes more than $400,000 in rent and fees.
Eviction proceedings began against Weeks in early October. Court records show that Weeks tried unsuccessfully to delay the eviction. However services ended up being held at the Holiday Inn in Norcross.
A sheriff's deputy came to the church campus Friday to carry out the eviction. The campus includes business offices and a church.
Weeks' divorce attorney Randy Kessler says he was unaware of the eviction, but predicts Weeks will "land on his feet if that is indeed the case."
Weeks says his Global Destiny International Ministries is "downsizing" due to today's tough economic times. On Sunday attendance was about 250.
