As many of you know, I have been covering the Jericho City of Praise hostile church takeover for a little over a year now, making a promise to the Saints of that church and Pastor Joel Peebles that I would work as hard as I could to bring their story to mainstream media and stay with them until their court case came to closure.

Well praise God, the story did make mainstream media with the help of Roland Martin and though the case is still in court I am proud to update you on the fact that Pastor Joel Peebles and members of Jericho continue to have church in a couple of high schools trying to acommodate thousands.

I posted a little over a year ago that it was looking like the church left the building but not their shepherd, well one year later, that is still the case and now it appears that there are less than 100 people attending Sunday service at the 10,000 seat mega church. (SMH)

Check out a video taking in in June 2013 one year after they ousted Pastor Joel Peebles:

The street committee is reporting that there are now less than 40 people attending Jericho City of Praise under the leadership of Rodney Walker, yet thousands are attending City of Praise which is currently being held in high school auditoriums.

This case clearly proves that what God has for YOU is or You and no man can take it away. Every blessing to Pastor Joel Peebles and the members of Jericho City of Praise, keep on keeping on, the best is yet to come.

I have written several articles on the Jericho City of Praise Saga, click here to start from the beginning.
