Bishop Wanjiru Makes ‘Miraculous’ Recovery Claim After Prayers

Bishop Margaret Wanjiru has sparked debate online after sharing a video of her apparent healing from a leg injury.

Wanjiru says she was injured a few weeks ago but doesn’t elaborate on the cause. She was treated at a local hospital and subsequently used a wheelchair.

In a video posted to her Facebook page, Wanjiru calls on a young man named Oscar to pray for her healing, referencing a prior time he prayed for his mother’s recovery.

The video shows Wanjiru instructing Oscar in prayer, followed

by him placing oil on her legs and praying fervently. She and others then speak in tongues while her staff assists.

After the prayer, Wanjiru stands up with assistance and declares herself healed. The video then shows her walking and praising God, while her congregation cheers.

Oscar also expresses joy after the apparent healing. Wanjiru praised his faith in a message accompanying the video.

The authenticity of the video and the events depicted have generated mixed reactions online.
