Kenya's youngest preacher, Rev Victor Githu, has clapped back at critics dismissing his ministry as a child's play. Responding to critics during a recent interview, the 10-year-old enthusiastic preacher admitted to receiving backlash from a section of netizens who believe he is too young to comprehend what he preaches. They have been pushing him to ditch the ministry and enjoy his childhood. In the interview, Victor assured his fans that he was well aware of his calling, stating that he is an entirely different person and should, therefore, not be looked at as a child when it comes to preaching God's word.

"I got a lot of criticism; I saw a lot of fake news. I got a lot of fake pages pretending to be me. I got a lot of things. I handled it because I have the Holy Spirit in me. The Bible says that if you don't have forgiveness, you will always have block your prayers. I got to the point where I was convicted to forgive those people and asking God instead of punishing them that He changes them.
