Pastor seen preaching from inside a coffin

A South African pastor was seen at a taxi rank preaching from inside a coffin, in an attempt to ‘illustrate to people who fail to embrace Jesus as the son of God that they will go to hell and face eternal death’. Pastor Randall van Staden of the Potter’s House Christian Church said church members use theatre, music and the coffin to spread the gospel in towns like Mossel Bay, Knysna and Oudts-hoorn. But not everybody thought the coffin was a good idea. Some women ran away in fear. Church member Aphiwe Nqevu, 28, a former drug dealer and convict who became a Christian in 2009 was quoted saying: “People should understand that whether they are rich or poor or black or white – the same fate awaits them and that is death.”
