Pastor Ng’ang’a sparks debate on his ‘church’.

Controversial televangelist pastor James Ng’ang’a, has once again ignited public debate with his recent remarks about his church, Neno Evangelism. 

In a viral TikTok video, the outspoken preacher claimed that his worship centre is not a typical church but rather a “referral hub” where people seek solutions to complex issues that other churches have failed to address. 

Ng’ang’a emphasised that individuals travel from great distances to seek help at Neno Evangelism, asserting that his ministry offers a unique service that sets it apart from ordinary churches. 

He stated, “This is not a church. Churches are those you have left in places like Kawangware where you came from. 

This is a referral. Somebody comes from Machakos and other places. This is a referral. We deal with those cases that have defeated other people. People come from Mombasa or Murang’a.”

His remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with many questioning the legitimacy of his message. 

While some followers agree with his perspective, critics argue that his statements are misleading and self-promoting.

Past Controversies Surrounding Pastor Ng’ang’a

Pastor Ng’ang’a is no stranger to controversy. Over the years, he has made headlines with his unconventional approach to preaching and often contentious statements. 

Some of his most talked-about moments include:

1. Mocking Women Who Wear Makeup

Ng’ang’a faced backlash after making derogatory comments about women who use makeup. 

He claimed that their efforts to enhance their beauty often go unnoticed, stating, “You take too much time beautifying yourself and then spend an entire day, and no one even bothers to approach you.” 

His remarks drew widespread criticism, with many accusing him of being insensitive and disrespectful. 

The Kenya Women’s Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) condemned his comments, calling them harmful to women’s self-esteem and urging religious leaders to be more responsible with their words.

2. Making Church Members Do Push-Ups

In an undated video, Ng’ang’a led his congregation in an impromptu exercise session, instructing them to perform frog jumps and push-ups during a service. 

While some found it entertaining, others questioned the seriousness of his ministry.

3. Warning Degree Holders

 Ng’ang’a has also expressed disdain for degree holders, advising them to attend churches with shorter services.

He claimed that educated individuals contribute to societal issues, including homosexuality, further stirring debate.
