[27] The operations of Gospel for Asia and BEC were scrutinized after Believers Eastern Church, under the guidance of Moran Mor Athanasius Yohan Metropolitan purchased a 2,268-acre (9.18 km2) rubber estate in Kerala, India.

[30] Further, it was alleged that the rubber estate, which Believers Eastern Church purchased from Harrison's Malayalam Ltd., was on leasehold from the government and not saleable.

[32][33][34] There is also been an ongoing court case regarding the illegal filling in of wetlands in order to build the Believers Eastern Church Medical College Hospital.

[35][36] Moran Mor Athanasius Yohan Metropolitan said that the claims were politically motivated and that the workings of Gospel for Asia and Believers Eastern Church are transparent.

[37] Further, the rubber estate is an investment to help fund social service activities among underdeveloped communities[29] and not a personal land grab as opponents have stated.

Out of the total amount, Rs 7 cr was recovered from the boot of a car owned by an employee of the hospital under Believers church.
