A megachurch pastor in North Carolina has agreed to pay his ex-wife $12k/month in alimony over the next nine years after filing for divorce after 33 years of marriage.
The couple have four adult children.
Gilbert Andre Thompson, Jr. is the pastor of World Overcomers Christian Church in Durham. According to his bio, “God has used him to both plant and lead the explosive 15,000-member strong World Overcomers Christian Church, which is one of the fastest-growing churches in America…God is also using him to impact over 1 million people each week through his innovative, in-your-face, Faith-Filled television program called “The Truth” for over ten years.”
Notably, he has written two books on marriage: Real Love Dating and Real Love Marriage.
According to the Roys report, he finalized his divorce from his wife, Dequilla LaShawn Thompson, last month and has agreed to pay her $1.3M in alimony over the next nine years, which is broken up into monthly payments of $12k.
She is also getting a small rental property valued at around $154,000 and retaining all the property and assets of her business.
For his part, he gets to retain their 14,000sqf mansion, (below) which sits on 58 acres and is valued at $2.8M, When he sells, she will only receive $50,000 from the purchase.
I’ve seen some churches preaching (far left progressive talking points) from the pulpit. I’ve walked out of “liberation-theology” services.
My sisters are pro abortion and they told of how their liberal priest routinely gave worldly explanations for Jesus’ miracles.
