Pastor James Ng'ang'a of Neno Evangelism Church has stirred controversy after he asked his church members to give him money as Christmas gifts.

The preacher made the request du, notmon at his church.

Did Ng'ang'a force followers to give him money?

Dressed in a white military-style outfit, Ng'ang'a told his congregants that he only wanted KSh 1,000 from each and not more or less.

He then began collecting the money from his followers, who seemed eager to oblige.

He put the money in a container that was held by an usher and thanked his followers for their generosity.

"The minister of God is going to celebrate Christmas. Give me KSh 1,000. Some of you have given KSh 2,000," he said, as he counted the money.

The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.

Here are some reactions:

amondi_sharon:

"Knowing God is free..... you can understand the word of God without going to church."

misskithinji:

"The pastor needs to be motivated. Standing for one hour plus preaching is not a joke. Alafu Usisahau sadaka na tithe ukamilishe."

mercy9754:

"Soo bad. Why are People so blind."

godfrey_koty:

"Why do people attend this church honestly."

midevakaisha:

"I should start my own church."

Why did pastor Ng’ang’a slam preachers who ask for money?

Previously, the preacher said that he can’t ask sick people in his church to offer him money since he is a rich man.

He also wondered why preachers demand money from sick people.

The pastor revealed that he is instead supporting his fellow pastors.

“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,” Pastor Ng'ang'a said.
