One of Nigeria’s most influential pastors, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is
set to share a ministry platform with American evangelist Benny Hinn at
a prayer conference in India next week.
The conference hosted by Bethel Assembly of God church in the city of Bangalore, is scheduled for January 15 – 17, 2014.
The Bangalore Mirror reports that entry fee into the prayer
conference is $13 (about 850 Rupes), about less than 7% of the average
monthly income of locals in the area.
The newspaper also reports that the conference has drawn protests
from several groups who are seeking the Indian authorities to bar Benny
Hinn from entering the country.
The protesters allege Benny Hinn has a hidden agenda to convert
several people into Christianity as he had done in 2005 during a
crusade, which sparked city wide protests and burning across the city.
