Pastor James Ng’ang’a recently demonstrated a touching act of generosity during a Sunday service that moved many people. The preacher interacted with a 75-year-old man who had traveled a long distance just to attend the church service. The man, who lives in Kinangop, wakes up as early as 3:30 a.m. to make the journey of about 100 kilometers to Nairobi for the services.
During the service, Pastor Ng’ang’a spoke to the elderly man about the importance of taking supplements like Vitamin C and Omega-3, especially given his age. The pastor shared his personal routine of taking Vitamin C daily and advised the congregation that as people grow older, their bodies may not absorb all the nutrients from food as effectively as before.
Ng’ang’a joked warmly with the man, saying, “You are 75 years old. I gave you KSh 5,000 the other day, right? I thought you were young, but it turns out you’re a commander.” The humor lightened the mood, but the pastor’s affection and care were evident.
The emotional moment peaked when the pastor asked the man where he lived, and the elderly congregant humbly responded that he traveled from Kinangop. Deeply moved by the man’s dedication and faith, Pastor Ng’ang’a reached into his pocket and handed him a bundle of notes. The man was instructed to count the money, which totaled KSh 14,000. The congregation erupted in applause, touched by the pastor’s generosity and the man’s commitment to the ministry.
This heartfelt gesture resonated widely, with many people on social media praising the pastor for recognizing and rewarding the elderly man’s devotion. Users admired the man’s dedication in making such a long and early journey to attend church regularly, describing the moment as a true display of faith and love.
In addition to this story, Pastor Ng’ang’a is known for his controversial yet candid personality. He has openly admitted to fathering more than 70 children with different women across the country, some of whom he has never met due to the circumstances of their pregnancies and relationships. He recounted an incident where one woman, who was expecting his child, asked to collect her belongings and then disappeared without returning.
The pastor also shared personal struggles regarding family life, including the sorrowful experience of his first wife losing several pregnancies while they lived in Mombasa. Despite these challenges, Pastor Ng’ang’a continues to lead his congregation with a mix of humility, generosity, and frankness, connecting with his followers in both spiritual and personal ways.
The story of the elderly man’s journey and the pastor’s gift is a reminder of the power of faith and community, and how simple acts of kindness can inspire many. It highlights the deep bond between a leader and his congregation, and the lengths to which some believers will go to nourish their spiritual lives. This moment of generosity not only brought joy to one man but also touched the hearts of many who witnessed or heard about it.
