CONTROVERSIAL Christian pastor Danny Nalliah mesmerised audiences during meetings at a Hallam church this week.
About 500 people turned up to Tuesday night’s service at Christian Community Church Hallam to see the radical preacher in action.
Mr Nalliah, who is president of Catch the Fire Ministries, claims to be able to heal illnesses and injuries through prayer.
He has also faced several law suits for his outspoken views on Christianity and other religions.
Mr Nalliah is president of Catch the Fire Ministries.
Church member Ruth Anbalagan said a normal service at Hallam would attract about 30 people, but as word spread that Mr Nalliah was in town hundreds more had attended.
“You couldn’t get a car park in the whole block surrounding the church,” Ms Anbalagan said.
She said Catch the Fire Ministries would be extending its stay due to the overwhelming response during the week.
“He will be here until at least Friday,” she said.
For more information about the church contact 9796 5039.
