Viral Video: Pastor raises a man from the dead in South Africa #ResurrectionChallenge

A firm of South African undertakers have said they will sue a Christian pastor who 'raised a man from the dead' in a stunt at their mortuary.

Alleluia Ministries pastor Alph Lukau claimed he had brought a dead man back to life in front of a crowd of people near Johannesburg. Footage of the event showed the man lying still in the coffin before sitting up again when the pastor puts his hands on him. But Kings and Queens Funerals were not amused by the stunt, saying it had caused 'malicious damage to our image'.
In the video the pastor speaks theatrically into a microphone, introducing supposed family members of the man in the coffin. He invites the crowd to follow him in prayer, calling out Jesus' name before waving his hands at the 'deceased' man. The pastor then hands over the microphone, leans over the 'dead' man, and puts his hand on his chest. Suddenly the man in the coffin sits up and acts his part, looking around as though astounded by what had happened.
The funeral provider said in a statement: 'We would like to distance ourselves from the supposed resurrection of a deceased man by Alleluia Ministries who allegedly was at our mortuary. Lukau nonetheless insisted the 'resurrection' was real, saying: 'An astounding miracle took place in the House of God this morning. 'A dead man came back to life as the church of God prayed'.
