Jimmy Lee Swaggart (born March 15, 1935) is an American Pentecostal pastor, author, radio and televangelist through his weekly telecast. His 1980s telecast was transmitted to over 3,000 stations and cable systems each week.
Sexual scandals in the late 1980s and early 1990s led the Assemblies of God to defrock him. As a result of the scandals, Swaggart temporarily stepped down as the head of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.
Swaggart's television ministry, which began in 1975, continues airing in the US and internationally. The weekly Jimmy Swaggart Telecast and A Study in the Word programs are broadcast throughout the US and on 78 channels in 104 other countries, and over the Internet.
Jimmy Lee Swaggart was born in Ferriday, Louisiana, on March 15, 1935, to Willie Leon (a.k.a., "Son") and Minnie Belle (née Herron) Swaggart. He is the cousin of rock'n'roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis and country music star Mickey Gilley. With his parents, Swaggart attended a small, 25-member Assemblies of God church in Ferriday. On October 10, 1952, Swaggart married Frances Anderson (born on August 9, 1937). Their son, Donnie, was born on October 18, 1954. Swaggart worked several part-time odd jobs in order to support his young family and also began singing Southern Gospel music at various churches.
Ahmed Hoosen Deedat (Gujarati: અહમદ હુસેન દીદત July 1918 – 8 August 2005) was a South African writer and public speaker of Indian descent. He was best known as a Muslim missionary, who held numerous inter-religious public debates with evangelical Christians, as well as video lectures on Islam, Christianity, and the Bible. Deedat established the IPCI, an international Islamic missionary organisation, and wrote several widely distributed booklets on Islam and Christianity. He was awarded the King Faisal International Prize in 1986 for his fifty years of missionary work. He wrote and lectured in English.
Deedat was born in the town of Tadkeshwar, Surat, Bombay Presidency, British India in 1918. His father had emigrated to South Africa shortly after his birth. At the age of 9, Deedat left India to join his father in what is now known as Kwazulu-Natal. His mother died only a few months after his departure. Arriving in South Africa, Deedat applied himself with diligence to his studies, overcoming the language barrier and excelling in school, even getting promoted until he completed standard 6. However, due to financial circumstances, he had to quit school and start working by the time he was the age of 16.

Plot: The story of Jerry Lee Lewis, arguably the greatest and certainly one of the wildest musicians of the 1950s. His arrogance, remarkable talent, and unconventional lifestyle often brought him into conflict with others in the industry, and even earned him the scorn and condemnation of the public.

and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks
eternal bright and fair
When the saved of earth shall gather
over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder
when the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
when the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
[piano + steel]
Let us labor for the Master
from the dawn till setting sun
Let us talk of all his wondrous love and care
Then when all of life is over
and our work on earth is done
And the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder...
When the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
