A Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) pastor was seen reciting what looked like so-called “strong prayers” to rid the boy of a demon.
BBC Panorama was also told by a gay ex-member he was given “strong prayers” at 13 to try to make him straight.
The UCKG says under-18s are not allowed into “strong prayers” services and it does not perform “conversion therapy”.
A BBC Panorama investigation has found:
- The church tells its congregations it can help with mental health conditions by casting out evil spirits
- The leader of the church in the UK describes epilepsy as a “spiritual problem”
The UCKG has branches around the world, including 35 in the UK, where it is registered as a charity. It says it has more than 10,000 members across the country and describes itself as a Christian Pentecostal church.
