Jack Coe (March 11, 1918 – December 16, 1956) was an American Pentecostal evangelist, nicknamed "the man of reckless faith".
He was one of the first faith healers in the United States with a touring tent ministry after World War II.
[7] Coe was not bashful about announcing that his tent was the largest in the world; bigger, he claimed, than the one Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus used.
[8] Coe also opened a children's orphanage[9] and built a large church building known as the Dallas Revival Center.
[10] Coe's revival messages centered upon healing, and he was adamant about not taking medicines and not visiting doctors.
In a 1955 revival service in Miami, Florida, Coe told the parents of a three-year-old boy that he had healed their son of polio.
[13] As a result, Coe was arrested on February 6, 1956, and was charged with practicing medicine without a license, a felony in the state of Florida.
Juanita Geneva Scott of Lancaster, Texas, died on September 27, 1996, and was buried in Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas.
