Pastor Ng’ang’a Calls Out Congregant For Giving Ksh 500 Offering
In a controversial sermon, Pastor James Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism called out a congregant who gave Ksh 500 as offering. Ng’ang’a said that the congregant asked him to pray for his family, including his children.
“Someone gave me Ksh 500 yesterday and asked me to pray for his children and grandchildren. Ksh 500!” Ng’ang’a exclaimed.
The controversial pastor said that Ksh 500 is unacceptable in this economy, as it cannot even cover the cost of fuel for his car.
“How am I supposed to remember them for Ksh 500? That’s not even enough for fuel. Maybe that’s enough for boda boda riders,” he said.
Ng’ang’a went on to declare that he cannot hold a Ksh 500 service. He asked those who are only willing to pay a small amount for him to pray for them to look for alternatives, such as witchdoctors.
Ng’ang’a’s sermon has sparked mixed reactions online. Some people have criticized him for being materialistic and for exploiting his congregants. Others have defended him, saying that he is simply setting a standard for the kind of offerings that he expects from his followers.
Regardless of one’s opinion, Ng’ang’a’s sermon is a reminder of the importance of faith and the role that money plays in many religious institutions.
