Justin Bieber is crediting a Pentecostal pastor with changing his life as he mingles with thousands of Christians at a five-day church conference in Sydney.
The 21-year-old Canadian pop star praised Hillsong Church's New York City pastor Carl Lentz, who has recruited several American celebrities and sports stars to the Sydney-headquartered church.
Ten Network television reported Bieber saying Tuesday: "I'm glad to know him. He's changed my life," as he interrupted an interview with Lentz at the Allphones Arena where 20,000 worshippers are attending the annual conference.
