Wilson Chowdhry (pictured above right), who was the director of British Pakistani Christian Association, terminated his role on 26 June 2019, according to the UK government’s Companies House website.

He also submitted a notice of ceasing to be a person with significant control in the charity.

In a statement to Premier, the Charity Commission said it is aware of concerns relating to British Pakistani Christian Ltd (it’s legal name).

The UK charity regulator has contacted British Pakistani Christians Ltd for further information, and noted it is not conducting a “formal statutory inquiry”.

Chowdhry, 44, told the Ilford Recorder he resigned for “personal reasons”.

Companies House now lists Juliet Chowdhry, Vanessa Ramchurn and Dorah Mayah as the directors of British Pakistani Christians Ltd.

The charity raises awareness of the persecution and discrimination Pakistani Christians face. It also provides support and aid for those suffering.

Chowdhry was a regular commentator on Premier news stories and has been widely outspoken about the blasphemy case against Asia Bibi in Pakistan.

Premier has contacted Chowdhry for comment.

The 65-year-old opened up about his changing views in a video on Facebook this week.

In it, he said: “I’m sorry to say that prosperity has gone a little crazy and I’m correcting my own theology and you need to all know it. Because when I read the Bible now, I don’t see the Bible in the same eyes I saw 20 years ago.”

Hinn is known for his healing ministry along with teaching in which believers were asked to give money and receive God’s blessing.

Speaking out against his previous beliefs, he said: “I think it’s an offense to the Lord, it’s an offense to say give $1,000. I think it’s an offense to the Holy Spirit to place a price on the Gospel. I’m done with it. I will never again ask you to give $1,000 or whatever amount, because I think the Holy Ghost is just fed up with it.”

His comments come a year after admitting he sometimes went “to the extreme” in preaching to people about prosperity.

In another Facebook video, he said: “It’s not God’s word that is taught and I think I’m as guilty as others.

“Sometimes you go a little farther than you really need to go and then God brings you back to normality and reality.”

Benny Hinn has been criticised by many for living a lavish lifestyle while touring the world with his healing ministry.

In 2007, Hinn’s ministry was investigated by US politicians on the Senate Committee on Finance to determine whether he had benefited…

The renowned public speaker who has shared the gospel message at conferences, churches and stadiums across the globe, celebrated 40 years of ministry on Monday.

Reflecting on his years of service he said he was filled with “gratitude and surprise” at how God has used him.

Writing on his blog, he said: “There is so much to be thankful for. No Christian – and certainly no one who is publicly engaged in proclaiming the good news of Jesus – can take such a period for granted.

“Somehow, in spite of myself, God has been gracious not just over days or even years but decades!”

In 1998, J. John received a Lambeth MA from the former Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, in recognition of Church Growth and Evangelism.

Carey said he regarded J. John as a speaker of “national and international repute.”

In 2017, J. John hosted the first JustOne event, a conference focused on proclaiming the gospel, at Emirates Stadium in London.

Speaking to Premier before the event, J. John said “When I was speaking at Winchester Cathedral I felt the Lord say, ‘It’s time to preach my good news in the football stadiums again.'”

The event, which church-goers were encouraged to fill with their non-Christians friends, was attended by over 23,000 people and was watched by 250,000 online.

Portsmouth churches and ministries will be partnering with J. John for another JustOne event at Guildhall in April…

The event is seen as a rival gathering to the Lambeth Conference which Justin Welby will host next year.

While all Anglican bishops have been invited to the Lambeth Conference on 27th July – 1st August 2020, some have suggested they won’t attend in protest at what they perceive as a move towards a more liberal position on sexuality within the Anglican Communion.

In a statement announcing the GAFCON event, leaders said: “On the one hand, we have no interest in attempting to rival Lambeth 2020. On the other hand, we do not want our bishops to be deprived of faithful fellowship while we wait for order in the Communion to be restored.

“Therefore, we have decided to call together a meeting of bishops of the Anglican Communion in June of 2020. The conference will be primarily designed for those who will not be attending Lambeth, but all bishops of the Anglican Communion who subscribe to the Jerusalem Declaration and Lambeth Resolution I.10 are invited to join in this time of teaching, worship, and fellowship.”

In a question to Dame Caroline Spelman, who represents the Church in Parliament, Tory MP Sir John Hayes asked whether Justin Welby plans to join the meeting in Rwanda.

In her response, she said: “At previous meetings of the Global Anglican Future Conference the Archbishop of Canterbury has been represented by a diocesan bishop of the Church of England.

“No decision has yet been taken by the Archbishop of…

Caroline Spelman, who liaises between the Church of England and Parliament, will stand down at the next general election.

The Conservative MP for Meriden has held her seat in the West Midlands since 1997 and has also been the Secretary of State for Environment and had many shadow ministerial roles.

Explaining her reasons for stepping down on Premier’s News Hour, she said: “I’ve been a member of parliament for 22 years and I’ve never really noticed a period quite like what we’ve been through over the last couple of years, it’s been very difficult.

“One of the main reasons I’ve given is that I have suffered a lot of abuse – online, in writing, verbally, and it’s been directed at me and my family and my staff and I really think it’s got to stop.

“I’ve worked hard to try to avoid a no deal Brexit because I saw the evidence of the impact it would have on the area where I live, because the West Midlands is the major exporting region to the EU, but that drew a lot of very, very abusive emails and I just feel we’ve had enough.

“I feel I’ve made the right decision, I’ve put the national interest first.”

Dame Caroline Spelman voted with the government throughout Theresa May’s battle over Brexit with the Commons and was the author of an amendment on giving expression to the majority of parliament.

She voted with Boris Johnson’s government on Tuesday night, when several of her…

The Canadian singer, who became famous when he was 13, shot to fame quickly after being discovered and, despite huge popularity, also got much media criticism for the mistakes he made in his youth.

He acknowledged in his post that he had a lot of money, clothes, cars and awards but says he was not satisfied and felt an enormous burden, saying: “when you add the pressure of stardom it does something quite unexplainable to you”.

He described how his world was “flipped on its head” and he was being “praised left and right by the world with millions saying how much they loved me and how great I was”.

However, he admitted that he started doing drugs at 19 and “abused all of my relationships…became resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry.”

The celebrity, who now attends a Hillsong church and is married to model Hailey Baldwin, added: “It’s taken me years to bounce back from all of these terrible decisions, fix broken relationships, and change relationship habits. Luckily god blessed me with extraordinary people who love me for me.

“Now I am navigating the best season of my life MARRIAGE!!” which he said was teaching him “patience, trust, commitment, kindness, humility and all the things it looks like to be a good man”.

He concluded: “even when the odds are against you keep fighting. Jesus loves you…LOVE PEOPLE TODAY NOT BY YOUR STANDARDS BUT BY GOD’S PERFECT…
