Saving a few souls, and checking your phone? Talk about multi-tasking at its finest.
That’s exactly what went down at a service at Omega Center International in Tennessee, where a preacher called Perry Stone proceeded to speak in tongues and very obviously scroll through his phone.
Was he receiving the 'Word of God' in 280 characters or less, or playing Angry Birds? We’ll never know.
A one minute 40 second video was uploaded in which the preacher makes unintelligible noises whilst repeatedly checking his phone.
At one point he became so engrossed in his phone that he let off a prolonged groan followed by a hastily tacked on, “hallelujah.”
Stone became an instant online hit - but probably not for the reasons he wanted
This video of a preacher checking his phone while speaking in tongues is my favorite video on the internet right now https://t.co/I9iqZpCQmF— mr. pussy (@mr. pussy) 1569946142
I also love how someone's just casually cleaning the table as he's doing it— mr. pussy (@mr. pussy) 1569953720

People aren't sure what he's doing
@nuns_on_film Is he auctioning off blessings?— jason (@jason) 1569964819
