A Manitoba pastor who has openly defied provincial public health orders was arrested Monday evening in Steinbach, the Church of God confirms.
“We ask that Christians would pray for Tobias’ strength, wisdom, and release, as well as for his wife and sons,” said Pastor Heinrich Hildebrandt in an email to CBC News.
Tobias Tissen, a pastor at the Church of God Restoration near Sarto, Man., in the RM of Hanover, was the subject of an arrest warrant issued earlier this summer for violating public health orders. Hildebrandt said the arrest was in connection to the outstanding warrant, but did not elaborate.
