How most pastor's are stealing from their congregants

You need not look further than conspicuous headlines in newspapers and investigative pieces aired on national news to notice how far the status of the church in Kenya has gone down. Formerly, church leaders were respected and loved both within and without the church compound. They lived humbly among us as they taught spiritual values in us and our children. We entrusted our very lives to them and were confident that they will look out for our best interests.

This notion has since become a shadow that can only be recalled in passing. The irregular increase of mega churches especially in cities has seen to it. Most of these churches are evangelical gatherings that are started and run by one person and his family. Since there is competition for congregants in densely populated (mostly middle or lower class) areas, most overseers fall victims to fake ways of acquiring followers. The most common is staging theatrical “signs and wonders” crusades in the surrounding markets and during their services.
