ATLANTA (AP) - The ex-husband of televangelist Juanita Bynum --
Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III -- had to relocate services after his
Duluth church was evicted.

Attorney Stephanie Friese of Grimes-Square Executive, Inc., says
Weeks, the leader of Global Destiny International Ministries, hasn't made any payments at all since July despite negotiations with the landlord. She says Weeks owes more than $400,000 in rent and fees.

Eviction proceedings began against Weeks in early October. Court
records show that Weeks tried unsuccessfully to delay the eviction.

A sheriff's deputy came to the church campus Friday to carry out
the eviction. The campus includes business offices and a church.

Weeks' divorce attorney Randy Kessler says he was unaware of the
eviction, but predicts Weeks will ``land on his feet if that is indeed the case.''
