Controversial American singer Sean Feucht says he is still planning to perform in Manitoba. Feucht announced Thursday morning that the concert will now be held on private farmland in the Rural Municipality of La Broquerie after being denied access to Winnipeg parks and, he claims, Winnipeg churches. "The parks denied us from every option and not a single church would allow us to use their land," Feucht wrote on Facebook. "So we are going back to a farm." The concert was originally planned for Central Park in downtown Winnipeg, but the City denied the event permit last month. Councillor Cindy Gilroy said the park plays a vital role for families, daycares and summer programs and should not be used for events that "threaten to disrupt its spirit or compromise the safety and well-being" of the neighbourhood. The group that had originally planned to bring Feucht to Winnipeg backed out months ago after realizing how divisive a figure Feucht was. The group had told CHVN at the time that causing division in the Body of Christ was the opposite of their intentions. Local ministry leaders push back, call Feucht out for "lies" While many of Feucht's online followers welcomed the update, others pushed back. A Winnipeg pastor accused Feucht of misleading the public about church support, writing in the comments, "I personally know that it's a lie that churches didn't offer their space to you — they did." Feucht's post says that his staff called "every" church in Winnipeg and that they were denied at every turn. The local pastor wrote, "Please don't build your event and platform on manufactured lies about Canadian Christians and pastors being passive cowards. We love our country more than you do and we're actually here contending for revival every day! Don't make us look bad to make yourself look good." Canadian cities push back against Feucht's politically charged tour Feucht, a former congressional candidate and vocal supporter of Donald Trump, rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic with large outdoor concerts protesting lockdowns and public health restrictions. His Revive in 25 tour has faced repeated opposition across Canada, with concerts cancelled or relocated in cities such as Halifax, Quebec City, Gatineau, Vaughan and Montreal. In several cases, city officials and venue managers cited public safety concerns and community values as reasons for denying permits. In Montreal, Feucht performed at a church after he was turned away from a city park. The congregation was later fined $2,500 by the City, and the concert was briefly disrupted by smoke bombs and protests. Critics, including Christian leaders, have raised concerns about Feucht's political messaging, anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and divisive tactics. He often frames opposition to his events as evidence of religious persecution. After his Montreal show, he claimed that "every Canadian should be embarrassed" and referred to the situation as the country's "biggest scandal." Former staff allege financial misconduct and toxic leadership culture Feucht is also facing serious allegations from former staff and ministry insiders. In June, a group of whistleblowers launched a website titled Truth and Freedom Stories, accusing Feucht of financial misconduct and spiritual abuse. The group, many of whom identified themselves publicly, said Feucht used business credit cards for personal expenses, underpaid workers, and pressured pastors to increase donations. They also alleged a toxic internal culture where dissent was met with humiliation or character attacks. The website claims Feucht's organizations, including Sean Feucht Ministries and Light a Candle, own multiple properties across the United States, and that some were falsely claimed as parsonages to gain tax advantages. "These testimonies reveal consistent patterns of manipulation, exploitation, and harmful leadership practices," the site states. Feucht has not publicly responded to the allegations, nor did he reply to Religion News Service or Christianity Today when contacted for comment. Despite the backlash, Feucht continues to attract a large following and remains active on social media. His next stops on the Revive in 25 tour are scheduled throughout western Canada.
