A number of students have told the BBC that they felt pressured into making donations they couldn’t afford to a church recruiting on university campuses across the UK. They reported donating student finance money and even the last pennies in their bank account for fear of ‘robbing god’. The London International Christian Church denies putting undue pressure on members to donate. BBC reporter Jonelle Awomoyi has been investigating. (Image: BBC)
