He added: “I cannot comment any further at this stage while the investigation is ongoing, but I know how profoundly painful this is. I would like to assure anyone who has been affected by this situation of my ongoing prayers. “For some that will be from their direct involvement, for others this is bringing to the surface past experiences from their own lives. Please continue to support and pray for one another, as we remind each other of the love of Christ which never fails.”When Mr Pilavachi first “stepped back” from all ministry, the investigation was described as being into"non-recent safeguarding concerns".
In a statement on April 30, Soul Survivor senior pastor Andy Croft said: “We cannot comment on an ongoing investigation, though we can say that more recent allegations have come to light.” As well as Soul Survivor Watford, Mr Pilavachi also set up the Soul Survivor Christian youth festival.
