Hillsong's Brian and Bobbie Houston in "Desperate" Need of Production Studio for Online Ministry

Brian and Bobbie Houston, founding pastors of Hillsong Church, have started their new online ministry entitled Jesus Followers. The Houstons have revealed that they are in "desperate" need of a television production studio. 

"This is going to be a faith ministry, and I'm really believing God will give us a big powerful group of partners who will stand with us in the building of Jesus Followers," Brian Houston said in a recent broadcast from Motor City Church in Detroit, Michigan.

"Because, like anything, we're building a new ministry, we're building a new church, and frankly we're starting with nothing, and we've got desperate needs."

"Right now we're on the other side of the country from where Bobbie and I are based at the moment, but we can't do that every single time," he continued. "We're believing God for a studio, and that comes with the need for not only television cameras but production crew, people to operate those cameras and people to work with us in production. ... It's a faith venture, and I believe as people partner and give, that you can help us make a difference." 

In 2022, Brian Houston resigned from Hillsong church after an internal investigation found he behaved inappropriately towards two women. The first incident involved "inappropriate text messages" sent to a female staffer in 2013. 

The second incident occurred in 2019, during a Hillsong annual conference in Sydney Olympic Park that Prime Minister Scott Morrison opened.

The church said Mr Houston was drinking with a group and after being locked out of his hotel room, ended up knocking on the door of a woman who he met earlier. The woman, who was not a member of the church, opened the door and Mr Houston went into her room and spent 40 minutes there.
