Thrive Church welcomes Ted and Gayle Haggard to Katy, Texas

Jan. 12, 2010 - PRLog -- KATY, TX – January 12, 2010 – Thrive Church is pleased to announce that Ted and Gayle Haggard will be interviewed live by Pastor Tom Elmore at our 10:30 am service on Sunday, February 14, 2009.  We invite everyone in the community to come hear the Haggards’ amazing story of betrayal and redemption.    

Ted Haggard was the founding pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  He was a founder of the Association of Life-Giving Churches.  And Ted also served for nearly three years as the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, the largest evangelical group in America.

In the fall of 2006, Ted Haggard resigned from all of these leadership positions after publicly admitting that he had solicited a prostitute for homosexual sex and illegal drugs.

After two years of silence and healing, Ted and his wife, Gayle, emerged publicly by appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, and other national news programs.

Gayle Haggard’s new book, “Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour,” is expected to be released on January 26, 2010.  In the next few weeks, Gayle is scheduled to appear on several national television talk shows to discuss her book.
