Over 5,000 attend funeral of pastor Zachery Tims

FUNERAL: Zachery Tims who was found dead in New york hotel room

ABOUT 5,000 people gathered to mourn Rev. Zachery Tims on August 20, as the mega-church pastor was laid to rest in Orlando, Florida.

The pastor, who led a congregation of 80,000 at the New Destiny Christian Center, was buried at the First Baptist Church of Orlando. Tims died in a hotel room in New York City on August 12. No cause of death has been determined.

Zachery Tims allegedly had a small envelope containing a white powder in his trouserpocket when he was found dead in a room at the W Hotel in Times Square.

“Oh, the church was packed," Herb McMillan, who attended the funeral, told Orlando TV station News13. “Just the memories that I had with him, talking with him one on one or in service. I had to be here to say 'thank you.'"

Bishop T.D. Jakes, pastor of 30,000-member The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, delivered the eulogy.

Tims' body was discovered when an employee at the W Hotel in Times Square went to restock the minibar in the pastor's room.

The most shocking revelation from the police report was the presence of a envelope containing white power on Tims' person. While there has been no official determination of what the substance was, many suspect the white power to be illegal drugs.

He Dr,Timms was put on this earth and now gone for such a time as this. We must look at ourselves and have peace within our selves , may God bless his chidren and family.

We know according to Gods word,the dead know nothing,so we speak to the living,live the word of God as pastor Tims taught, dont givein to negativety. You are not the judge, it hurts me that u did not stream his funeral. I watched him on the word and tbn,i loved him as well, that was unfair bcause many more who loved him was deprived of giving last respects. I cry when i hear his voice,he is gone but his words live on"Dont put no limits on God and wont put no limits on you", i hope that plans to sell his funeral tapes are false,u had a chance to have it streamed or allow media in,why would u sell,he wouldnt,he was a giver ,lime preist like people. Give them away or make it public. Signed love from Dayton,Ohio. L.S.

There is no sorrow that Heaven can not heal, and God will carry you through this difficult time. Just Praise, and Worship God, like Job did in the first Chapter. God knows,and cares, not matter what anyone says. The Lord has this situation under control. Look to him, because everything will be all right. The True Saints will be interceding for you all. God loves you, and so do we, and the best is yet to come.
Man's extremity is God's opportunity.

Be Blessed

Zachery Tims Death

Anonymous's picture

My heart was very touched with shock, and pain when I heard a man with so much youth left in him, and energy. I started watching him from the beginning of his, and Riva Tims ministry. They captured you with their excitment, and their beauty Zachery Tims was such a handsome man, and his wife, and her twin were just beautiful. And I was so sad to see their marriage broke up, because of his infidelity in his marriage.
I was listening to a preacher teaching this morning on the subject of midlife crisis that ocures to every man in his midlife stage between forty, and sixty. Like this preacher said because of the fall of man in the garden of eden this is what the cause of all that is.
And when a man falls for it he will suffer depression, and it will damage his soul, and also destroy a mans wife, and children. But look how many men fall for this. And the preacher said this is the reason so many young people have decided never to get married, because they know the pain it brings.
I guess men should remember this is the end there of is Death. so leave it alone.

It's time for people to repent and get real with God. He is looking for a sin-free, perfect people without a spot, blemish or any such thing. If you die in sin, heaven will not be your destination... Please read your Bible... Jesus is soon to come, and he will not accept your excuses.

My heart is crushed, as I just learned about the sudden death of Pastor Zachry Tims. Every time I had the pleasure of watching him on TBN, I was so so blessed. There was something exqusite about Zachry that even this death cannot take away from him. Praise God for his life and his Godly influence on others. My heartfelt prayers go out to his immediate family, his closest friends and congreagants.
May Jesus, the lover of our souls, wrap you tightly in His arms of love. Your sister in Christ from Houston, Texas.
