All parents want their children to succeed in life and have a beautiful family. Donnie Swaggart, an American preacher, and his wife Debbie are no exception: they have three children to whom they have passed on their trust in God. Fortunately, the couple’s upbringing has had positive consequences as their children are all well established in their lives and doing their best in everything that concerns them.
The Swaggarts have three children
Donnie and Debbie have three children, two boys named Gabriel Swaggart and Matthew Swaggart and a girl named Jennifer Swaggart. The co-pastor of Baton Rouge-based Family Worship Center Church and his wife Debbie are two of the proudest parents who have been able to carry on their family history and pass on one of their most important beliefs to their children.
Gabriel and Matthew, his two sons, are active members of the church’s Family Worship Center and its two sister organizations, Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and Crossfire Youth Ministry. Gabriel is also the full-time associate pastor of the church. Matthew is also an experienced photographer and experienced TV graphic designer. His daughter Jennifer is a qualified teacher and has just completed her Masters in Education.
Your children have their own families.
Donnie and Debbie’s children have grown up to the point that in 2021, they have all married and settled down with their various spouses. Additionally, the two became grandparents to eight children through their children’s marriage. Gabriel and his wife Jill have three daughters: Samantha Gabrielle, Abby Jill and Caroline Frances. Likewise, Matthew and his wife Joanna have three children: two boys named Ryder Euin Presley, Navy Matthew Aaron and Lola Josephine Rose, and a girl named Lola Josephine Rose. Jennifer and her husband Cliff also have two children, a boy named Harrison Brooks and a girl named Harper Riley. Jennifer lives with her family in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Unusual Married Life of Donnie Swaggart
Compared to other people’s marriages, the American pastor/evangelist’s marriage is rather unusual. Donnie was married three times, and in two of them, he married the same woman twice! He was previously married to Debbie, his current wife. However, for some unknown reason, the two decided to separate in 2003. Later that year, he married a woman named Judy. But it didn’t last long as the couple separated in 2006, just three years later. After his divorce from Judy, Donnie married his first and current wife, Debbie, for the second time. Luckily, the second time worked out wonderfully since they had been together since their second marriage. However, since Donnie and his wife keep the reason for their divorce, the birth dates of their children and other details of their marital union secret, no further information on these matters could be revealed.
