Despite being on what he calls a “sabbatical” recovering from an unspecified “health challenge,” controversial megachurch pastor Bishop Eddie Long joined his followers on a prayer call this week in which he revealed he has lost more weight and assured them he will be back in the pulpit next month.
“My wife was telling me that I need to rest and I said I can’t till I do this, I know my folk need to hear me. I want them to hear me and I have things in my spirit…I’ve been away too long,” said the 63-year-old Long who leads New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia in explaining why he decided to join the prayer call.
