I have seen the mahindi choma (roasted maize) guy from TRM Drive, Jacob. So its true and not some joke. He sells good maize.

The pastor is so wise. He knows the money can be allocated to absent persons whose names can be inserted into the list.... Importance of confirmation.

Only God can bless you pastor. 10k to the hawkers, you really don't know how much you have touched their lives. I can compare it to Jesus not only preaching the gospel but also feeding 5000 people. That was really humbling .

Ng’ang’a slams Preachers asking money from sick people
In other related news, Pastor James Ng'ang'a recently expressed reluctance to ask for money from the sick people seeking prayers.
In a video captured during a sermon in his church, the pastor said that he can’t ask sick people in his church to offer him money, explaining that he is a rich man.
“Sometimes, we preachers demand money from these sick people. But how can I demand money from these people? Where will that take me? I am already a rich man… Today alone I sent one bishop KSh 12,000 and another one KSh 3,000,” Ng'ang'a said.
