Jimmy Lee Swaggart

Jimmy Lee Swaggart was an American televangelist known for his passionate preaching style and significant influence in the Pentecostal movement. Born on March 15, 1935, he rose to prominence with his ministry that reached millions worldwide through television broadcasts. However, his career was marred by scandal, as he faced two major sex scandals in the late 1980s, leading to a notable decline in his ministry's influence and public image. Despite these controversies, Swaggart continued to preach until his death on July 1, 2025.
