Pastor punched in eye at altar call
One of Tulsa’s best-known ministers, Billy Joe Daugherty, was attacked Sunday while giving the altar call.
“I had been preaching on praise and Thanksgiving in every situation,” he says. “And this guy walked forward. I thought he was coming to receive the Lord, but he had another plan.”
He sure did. As the music played, without warning, the man punched Daugherty in the face. And, before he could land a knockout blow, he was yanked away.
With blood pouring down his face, Daugherty kept on preaching and forgiving.
