Man of conflict? A peep into the world of Nenoโ€™s Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a

 

Some worshippers at Neno Evangelical Ministries on Monday threatened to start a private criminal case against the churchโ€™s founder, Mr James Ngโ€™angโ€™a, but given his brush with the law, the man of cloth will mostly not be his losing any sleep.

Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a has been in and out of courts many times, and spent more than two decades in jail.

HARDCORE CRIME

Though details he has been giving in recorded interviews vary, his first stint in jail was in 1972 when he was 18 years old. He was sentenced to a six-month jail term for fighting, as he told a local radio station on August 13.

But in a documentary published last year by Sasa TV, a television station owned by his church, Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a said he was first jailed in 1968, when he was supposedly only 14 โ€” having been born in Subukua, Nakuru County, in 1954.

During his first incarceration, he told the radio station, he was recruited into hardcore crime.

โ€œThen for the next 20 years, I was in and out of prisons. For 20 years, between 1972 to 1992, only thrice did I celebrate Christmas as a free man,โ€ he said.

In the documentary by his churchโ€™s TV station, he said that he got โ€œborn againโ€ during his time in prison, thanks to a man who came to minister to prisoners.

He views the conversion as the turning point to where he is today โ€” a man who calls himself โ€œChief General Commanderโ€ and โ€œDaktari Number Oneโ€.

Having seen the light, he started off as a handcart pusher and street preacher in Mombasa. With time, he grew in ministry then moved to Nairobi to establish his church. It is during his time at the Nairobi church that Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a, once a herdsboy in Nyandarua, expanded his flock and also his ego.

‘EXORCISE DEMONS’

One church documentary says his church is rooted on the 13th verse in the 6th chapter of the Biblical book of Mark that says: โ€œThey drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.โ€

A core part of his sermons is the “exorcising” of demons from believers, who are often talking back through the โ€œpossessedโ€ person.

In the process of casting out demons, the pastor is often seen slapping the believer. The โ€œvictimsโ€ of the demonic possession will typically be held firmly on the ground by the pastor, sometimes aided by ushers.

With that anti-demon promise and the following it earned him, Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a has now become an unapologetic church head who shoots from the hip, caring less about where his words land and what effect they have. The outburst that led to his male flock threatening to take him to court was a threat that he would make their โ€œminusculeโ€ private parts disappear because the men were leaking out information about his church.

It irked the men to the extent that they wrote a letter to Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a through Otieno and Amisi Advocates, protesting the abusive language against them and demanding that he publishes a newspaper apology to all male members of Neno.

The lawyers stated that if Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a could not apologise in two days, โ€œOur further instructions are to commence private criminal prosecution against you โ€ฆ and/or civil proceedings for general damages for defamationโ€.

DISCPLINARY STEPS

The Saturday Nationย reached out to the law firm for an update on whether Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a had responded to the demand letter. The advocate said he would get back after consulting with his clients and had not done so by the time of going to press.

One man who has felt the weight of Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™aโ€™s words is Robert Wafula, who was until recently one of Nenoโ€™s three bishops before he quit to start his own ministry in Mombasa.

Pastor Wafula made the decision to leave after Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™aโ€™s viral outburst in which he threw jibes at the bishops in his church, claiming they were disrespectful to his wife.

Pastor Wafula told theย Saturday Nationย that the message hit him hard, forcing him to sever ties with a man with whom he had been friends for over 20 years.

โ€œEven when correcting or punishing a child, you must explain to him or her why you have taken the disciplinary steps. To date, I donโ€™t know what wrong I ever committed,โ€ he said.

Four months later, Bishop Wafula is at peace after starting Shalom Miracle Church. He leads his flock every Sunday at Tononoka Social Hall.

โ€œI resigned after I saw the video which I believe was directed to me. It was a difficult decision. He has never contacted me and neither have I,โ€ he said.

‘HEALED CANCER’

Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™aโ€™s wife, the subject of the preacherโ€™s harangue, has also had an eventful marriage since their wedding in 2012 (the second marriage of Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a, whose first wife died leaving him with four children).

Three years ago, the couple had an ugly exchange at a family court in Nairobi as the wife wanted out. The matter appears to have been settled as Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a said in the radio interview that they have a six-month-old child, the third with her, โ€œand plan to get moreโ€.

To his faithful, Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a is a misunderstood man. One such follower, whom we will call Noah, sat with theย Saturday Nationย in Nairobi on Thursday.

โ€œThese are matters of the spirit. If you are not on the same spirit level as he is, your human body may perceive some things as wrong while they arenโ€™t,โ€ said Noah.

He further posed: โ€œWhy have you journalists not reported about the way he healed cancer that was plaguing a man in Ukambani??โ€

All said about his temperament, Pastor Ngโ€™angโ€™a says he will not change. He says he acts tough because his ministry is all about fighting evil.

โ€œThe problem you guys have is to assume that all people are kind. This work Iโ€™m doing, how many have done it and died?โ€ he asked at the radio interview.

1 COMMENT

  1. When you control the hearts of the weak, the intellect and sex lives of the parishioners or use power to harm the sheep this becomes nothing more than abuse.

    Whenever power is used to abuse, exploit, wound the vounerable perishiners trust is broken. The preacher is using the sheep as food rather than feeding the sheep. Those with knowledge and skill are assumed that their character is trustworthy but not so with this case.

    By the virtue of this pastors character he is assumed to be trustworthy but he betrays the character of his calling by his actions and words.

    A total abuse of power to deceive the self, others, and the cohorsion of others for the sake of greed. He has justified his deception and numbed his conscience like the way Narcotics numb our reality. He know what he is doing but calls it a blessing. There is nothing new under the sun.
