Hillsong Hell

60 Minutes

What Brian and Bobby Houston have achieved is extraordinary. Over four decades they have turned their Australian Hillsong Church into an international sensation. The couple would probably credit Jesus Christ for their success, but having had celebrities like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Kevin Durant linked to the organisation has undoubtedly helped. Lately though the halo on the carefully tuned Hillsong brand has been losing its lustre. Leader Brian Houston faces court next month to defend charges of concealing child sexual abuse, which he denies. And now a 60 MINUTES investigation will reveal shocking accusations from two brave women who say they were assaulted by other Hillsong members. As Tom Steinfort reports, the victims believe the attacks were made even worse by the church's response: indifference to their suffering so heartless it would surely make Jesus weep.
