The church will be holding its Crossover Service.
“The Crossover Service is an annual event where church members and followers converge to end a year and begin another one together, united in prayer.
“Unlike in the year 2018 whereby the Crossover Service was held at Tshwane Events Centre in Pretoria; the ECG church, in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, has been successfully holding these events at the FNB Stadium located in Johannesburg’s Soweto,” the church said.
This year’s Crossover Service – dubbed the ‘Night of God’s Open Hands’ – is set to replicate the mammoth attendance that has characterised the event over the years.
“According to statistics obtained from ticket management processes so far, the event is expected to draw over 30 000 people from more than 30 countries where the ECG church operates, to join the local attendance which is expected to comprise over 90 000 people.
Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary face charges of fraud, money laundering and the contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act for offences they allegedly committed from 2015.
One of the charges relates to exchange control regulations and involves foreign currency of $1 147 200 (around R15m at the time), News24 reported.
The pair will go on trial in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria between July 27 and August 28 next year.
