``You go overseas and everyone is drinking Fosters, but not here. Sauerman likens the levels of popularity in Australia and enormous commercial success in the US to two other renowned Australian exported brands: Fosters and Billabong. It is contemporary, it is modern, it is now. And that's what they do it's rock music and people dig it. Music is very powerful it communicates in deep ways, if you are religious or not. ``They brought the message through music. Definitely,'' brand expert Richard Sauerman says. Or, taking the man out of the equation, how a church youth band that the vast majority of Australians would never have heard of (United, Hillsong's youth band) can reach the US Billboard Chart top five and sell out stadiums across the country.Ĭould it be that a church group considered fringe by those on the outside, could be Australia's most powerful global brand? It's a rather peculiar oddity: how the Christian mega church birthed in a lounge room in Castle Hill 30 years ago is routinely maligned at home, and worshipped abroad how Hillsong's ubiquitous preacher-in-chief is viewed with scepticism by many Sydneysiders, but idolised by foreigners as if giving a modern spin on the biblical reckoning that ``a prophet has no honour in his home town''. ``I never cease to be inspired by those stories.'' Strangely, for a man who regularly preaches before 30,000 and who has been routinely castigated by some who deem him power and money-hungry, he seems somewhat uncomfortable with the eminence. I said ``Australia'', and she replied `the only thing I know about Australia is kangaroos and Hillsong','' Brian laughs. ``Not so long ago Bobbie and I were in Uganda and we were at the airport, and there was a long line of people at security and we got talking to someone in front of us who asked us where we were from. Downtown Houston? You'd think he owned the town and gave it its name, such is his appeal with the God-fearing Texans, 50,000 of whom turn up to hear him preach a single message.Įven if they don't recognise him, they know his brand. Rubbish dumps in India? The kids come running to clutch his gangly legs. Yet encounters like this occur with frightening regularity for this icon of modern Christendom just not so much in Australia. This dining room floor is no stranger to such encounters, as starstruck guests rush celebrities for a happy snap in front of eye-rolling wait staff.īut Brian Houston? A church pastor? And one who received his fair share of scrutiny and criticism during his long reign as head of Hillsong Church, from the masses revolting at ill-titled books called You Need More Money to disenfranchised ex-parishioners with a tale to tell? Smiles, hugs and a warmness that eroded their religious disparity. We all watch you in TV,'' he followed.Īnd now they wanted a photo with him. ``Oh, you are famous, you are famous in Tibet. A man of deep spiritual convictions himself, he was intrigued by this harmonious duo who reside at seemingly polar opposites of the religious spectrum how they reacted, what they ate whether they were immersed in the no-doubt philosophical thought being bandied around their table. He was fascinated by them: two maroon-clad Tibetan monks being loved on by a clutch of eastern Sydney arty types. Had they noticed the intermittent glances this lanky Hillsong senior pastor had been giving them across the floor of Bondi's starry Icebergs restaurant, in between mouthfuls of pesce del giorno and warm dinner conversation with his American guest? Wearing full-length robes and brandishing a camera, their approach was undeviating.
