Brian and Hannah Tamaki promise followers ‘jubilee blessings’ if they tithe, urge them not to fear Covid-19

Destiny church leaders Brian and Hannah Tamaki have escaped Auckland for Rotorua to avoid the Level 3 Lockdown, Newshub reports. At a Sunday service, the Tamakis explained their reasons for fleeing the city, encouraged members to give more tithes to receive jubilee blessings and urged their followers not to fear the virus. The move comes as concern mounts over some churches defying lockdown rules and spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.
