ABOUT DONNIE SWAGGART

Donnie1

Donnie Swaggart is the only son of Evangelist Jimmy and Frances Swaggart. While Donnie carries the same evangelistic zeal and mantle that his father carries, he has a dynamic and hard-hitting preaching style that is all his own. Donnie Swaggart functions under the title of Pastor/ Evangelist, and not only travels the world in evangelistic ministry, but also serves as co-pastor of Family Worship Center Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Donnie Swaggart is called by God to bring the message of Pentecost Donnie2to those bound by cold, formal, lifeless religion, and to reintroduce the Pentecostal fire and the Pentecostal way of life to those who have never gone beyond the initial baptism experience. He is a regular speaker at the twice annual Jimmy Swaggart Campmeetings. Without fail, Donnie delivers a stirring message on the Holy Spirit on the Saturday night Campmeeting service.

This Saturday evening message is always a deeply anticipated part of the Campmeeting and has come to be affectionately termed “Holy Spirit Night” to ministry insiders. His desire for his own life and for the lives of those to whom he ministers is summed up in the words of the Apostle Paul found in Ephesians, Chapter 2, Verse 22, “In Whom you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”Donnie3
