Former Trump faith adviser holding in-person event for more than 2,000

Kenneth Copeland, a televangelist who was a faith adviser to President Trump when he was running for president in 2016, is hosting an in-person event in the largest metro area in Texas this month. The Southwest Believer's Convention, held Aug. 3-8, is the first event held in the Fort Worth Convention Center since late June. Around 2,500 guests are expected to attend.

Copeland's convention typically draws thousands of attendees from multiple countries.

"If you can attend the 2020 SWBC in person, be there!" Kenneth Copeland Ministries urges on their website. "There’s just something about people of faith coming together in an atmosphere charged with supernatural expectancy."

Copeland is known by mainline evangelists as a "prosperity gospel" pastor who teaches that God physically rewards the faithful. He has urged viewers to put their hands on the television as he prayed healing over them.
