Christian pastor cancels event because the ‘faith level’ of some people is too weak to stop coronavirus

Charismatic faith healer Andrew Wommack is a co-founder of the Truth & Liberty Coalition and he also hosts his very own internet television network, GospelTruth.tv. Earlier today in an interview, Wommack voiced concerns about an event he canceled after several government agencies contacted him and advised him to cancel in order to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Wommack took their advice, but not just because he’s worried about the spread of the virus. It seems he’s also worried that he might be blamed if the virus spreads among some of his attendees who don’t have strong enough faith.

“We had five government agencies contact us and strongly suggest or request that we cancel because of the coronavirus, and personally I’m not afraid of that and it’s not gonna bother me. I actually heard that there’s more people that die from just the normal flu. But, you know, we have to observe this, and even though I’m operating in faith and many of the people are, we will have some people come that, I can’t say what their faith level is, and if they bring this virus here, and people get infected and start an epidemic in the Woodland Park area and God forbid somebody died, they would blame me, so really, I didn’t see much of an option.”
