[SINGAPORE] An Indonesian businessman and member of the City Harvest Church (CHC) yesterday cast the business of saving souls in terms of a return on investment.
Justifying his $1 million-a-year donation to CHC for its Crossover Project - the church's way of evangelising through pop music - Wahju Hanafi said: "If I spend $1 million and we win 138,000 souls, that means every soul is worth less than $1,000. To me, that is a good buy.
"I'm a businessman, and for every investment that I (make), I have to see a return. To me, in this case, the return is the souls that we are winning. If (we) are not winning souls, then I will probably pull back my money."
On his second day on the stand as the prosecution's witness yesterday, the Indonesian who runs a supermarket chain in Papua New Guinea added: "It's very hard for the public to understand this. Only people with a vision can understand this."
