Joel and Victoria Osteen are scheduled to speak at MegaFest, a three-day festival to be held in Dallas, Tx. The couple will speak in a joint session at the conference, which will be hosted by megachurch leader T.D. Jakes in late August.

MegaFest first started in Atlanta, Ga. in 2004, and will take place in Dallas for the first time this year. The festival will be held in both the American Airlines Center and in the Dallas Convention Center, and tens of thousands of people are expected to attend. The conference features popular Christian speakers, Bible study, and family-oriented entertainment.

T.D. Jakes says the conference will be a spiritual environment in which families can have fun and believers can celebrate together. Among other activities during the festival, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy concerts, cooking and comedy shows, and even a celebrity basketball game. “We do it big in Texas,” Jakes said.
