A Queensland-based evangelist who hosted a US singer dubbed a ‘superspreader’ for defying Covid restrictions says churches need to stand up against future ‘draconian’ rulings which infringe on human rights.

During evening rallies on the Sunshine Coast attended by more than 1500 people each night, Sean Feucht ridiculed Australia’s Covid lockdowns, saying people could not take ‘their trash bins out without being arrested’.

“There were a lot of nations around the world that went crazy in 2020. You guys were like maybe the top of the list.’’

“They were building camps for people who had the virus, they were making everyone get the shot, there was widespread fear and pandemonium,’’ Feucht told the cheering crowd.

Feucht made headlines across the USA for holding ‘Let Us Worship’ rallies attended by thousands of people, defying Covid-19 restrictions.

He was dubbed a ‘Superspreader’ by Rolling Stone magazine, and condemned by authorities who said hundreds would die as a result of the gatherings.

US 'superspreader' singer Sean Feucht ridiculed Australia’s Covid lockdowns during rallies on the Sunshine Coast.

But Feucht, who is featured in a movie on his stand, said it was wrong authorities were allowing casinos, strip clubs and marijuana dispensaries to open while shutting down churches during a time of suicides and drug addiction.

He said Australians had been ‘robbed of their joy’, best personified by Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, during the season of ‘darkness, turmoil and fear’.

But he said it was time Australians stood up for their freedom, even if it meant losing their job.

‘What the enemy tried to do, God is flipping the script. He wanted us to shut up, to sit down, he wanted us to wear three masks, while watching a livestream, all while we have the command in the Bible – ‘Don’t forsake meeting together.’’

He said Christians should be having ‘church everywhere’ including on beaches, and local fields, to get the message out.

On the weekend, hundreds watched on at Mooloolaba Beach as more than 100 people were baptised following street evangelism.

“This is a gut check moment for the church of Australia,” Feucht said.

“Are we going to turn back to being a sleepy, nice complying people?”

“We are the church of Jesus Christ. Our allegiance is not to a government,’’ the Trump-supporting evangelist told the hyped crowd.

Daniel Hagen, one of the founders of Fire Church and Awakening Australia, one of the driving forces of a rally attended by 60,000 to 70,000 at Marvel Stadium in Victoria, which hosted Feucht, backed his views, saying the Covid restrictions were draconian, especially in Melbourne where he was leading a church at the time.

“We risked a $500,000 fine for meeting if we accepted anyone who was not vaccinated,’’ Mr Hagen said.

He said churches should in future take more of a stand, saying it was ‘sad’ to see other churches turning away people because they were not vaccinated.

Mr Hagen said he would like to see the Royal Commission into the Covid response to also look at what happened in churches.

His comments came after Queensland doctors said this week they want masks to return at public gatherings and in hospitals, GP surgeries and planes as hospitalisations have soared since the start of the eighth Covid-19 wave.
