Watch: Pst. Ng'ang'a Sells Bread to Church for Sh200

The controversial pastor is selling bread at Ksh200

Pastor James Ng’ang’a, the founder of Neno Evangelism Centre, is no stranger to controversy, and his latest move has once again left Kenyans talking.

During a recent church service, the gospel minister surprised his congregation by selling bread and mandazi at a premium price.

The bread was priced at KSh200, while the mandazi went for KSh100. Pastor Ng’ang’a, ever the showman, enthusiastically promoted his offerings.

"Mliskia kuna mikate leo eeh? Mkate moja ni 200 na maandazi ni 100. Kama unataka, leta KSh200 nauza, customer customer, na hakuna change," he declared.

Congregants Flock to Buy

Despite the unusual setting for such sales, congregants quickly lined up at the altar, cash in hand, to purchase the bread and mandazi.

Those unable to pay on the spot were told to take the items on loan and settle the debt during the next service.

To add to the festivities, Pastor Ng’ang’a distributed sodas to the men in the congregation, humorously stating, "Nilinunua hii mkate for miracles na hii ni ya Christmas."

Others were less critical, choosing instead to laugh at the situation or marvel at the loyalty of Ng’ang’a's congregation.

A History of Controversy

This is not the first time Pastor Ng’ang’a has faced public scrutiny. In June 2024, he was caught on video demanding KSh1,000 from his congregants for bottles of water.

He insisted that everyone in attendance owed him the money, saying, "You cannot drink my water for free. If you don't have, give your shoes. If you don't have, don't sit in the front row, sit at the back."

The video, like his recent bread-and-mandazi episode, drew sharp criticism, with many accusing him of exploiting his followers.
