“We have given and donated things our whole lives and will continue to do so…but right now we are selling to move things properly and efficiently,” Ms. Houston wrote online.

The Pentecostal power couple, who this year were forced to abandon the megachurch they founded in 1983, are also reluctantly selling their home in Sydney’s Hills district for $4.5 million.

Ms. Houston said she avoided head or facial damage, but suffered bruising and a “minor injury.”
‘Never a dull moment huh. I feel like we’ve been through the landscape of war this year: spirit, soul, and body, but we persevere.
Houston resigned as Hillsong’s senior global pastor last March after it was discovered that he had violated the church’s “moral code” with two women.
The church said it had been investigating two complaints filed against him in the past 10 years.
A complaint was filed after a church employee claimed he had been sent “inappropriate” text messages.
The church’s investigation found that he was “under the influence of sleeping pills, to which he had developed a dependency” when he sent the texts.
Ms. Houston put several of her husband’s clothes up for sale online as ‘pre-loved’ clothing, including this Ermenegildo Zegna suit, which she said was worth up to $7,000 new.
Among the items Ms. Houston put up for sale is this Italian Positano platter, which sold for $200, which she said she “took all over the world.”
The second complaint related to Mr. Houston allegedly knocking on the hotel door of a guest after the 2019 Hillsong Conference who entered the room.
“Pastor Brian became disoriented…after consuming anti-anxiety medication beyond the prescribed dose, mixed with alcohol,” the church said at the time.
The exact nature of the woman’s complaint has not been released publicly and Houston has denied that there was any sexual activity.
Houston has also been charged by police with allegedly concealing the sexual abuse of a child by his father, Frank.
He pleaded not guilty at Sydney Downing Center Local Court in an ongoing trial.
Frank Houston abused nine children between 1965 and 1977 in Australia and New Zealand, when he led the Assemblies of God church.
A month after Brian Houston left Hillsong, Bobbie was fired via text message.
“I don’t even have words to express how cold and unfeeling this has all become,” he said at the time.
Brian Houston was charged by Australian police with concealing sexual abuse by his father Frank and is in the midst of a trial at Sydney’s Downing Center Court. He did not plead guilty
The couple founded the Hillsong megachurch in 1983 and have been its leading figures for nearly 40 years.
The break with Hillsong allowed the Houstons to go on a speaking tour of the United States, where he discussed inheriting his father’s “luggage”.
“Inheritance on Earth may sound like a good idea… My parents, financially, what I inherited was small, but the reality is that it also came through my father with baggage,” he said in a sermon at James Church. River in the southwest. Missouri.
‘Because, when I was 45 years old… I found out that my father, many years before, in the 60s and 70s, was a pedophile.’
