Hillsong Pastor, Carl Lentz, Tests Positive for Coronavirus

Carl Lentz, the senior pastor of Hillsong Church New York, has been tested positive for the coronavirus. Lentz revealed the news with Judah Smith, pastor of Churchome, on Instagram Live Monday night.
"I started feeling so bad," Lentz told his friend Smith, who pastors in Seattle and Los Angeles. "I got my test. It came back positive." Lentz said his "team got hit pretty hard."
"I'm fine," he said. "I'm good...Let me tell you something. It is definitely real...the symptoms are so real. It's kind of like a flu times 50...still don't feel like myself...I look forward to getting my energy back. My breath is a lot shorter. Fatigue is a lot quicker. My advice to people is try to take this as seriously as you can."
The Hillsong NYC team held a gathering to tape the online service at the church office. Since those 200 gathered, it is unclear how many have the virus. At least one other pastor, John Termini, said it is highly likely, as he awaits his results, that he tested positive.
Lentz preached a recorded message titled, "We Are Gonna Get Through This," online Sunday to thousands.
