The
senior pastor of Evangelical Church in Tana River County, Kenya, has
demolished his church in anger after he caught his wife and the assistant
pastor having a romantic moment after a prayer vigil.
According to
Nairobi News, the preacher is said to have caught his wife kissing the
assistant pastor in the church.
Joan Mulei, a
member of the worship team, said: “People had already left and only the
assistant pastor and a few worship team members stayed behind for a meeting
when she walked in and joined in the meeting that would later end prematurely.”
Ms. Mulei says the
pastor’s wife kept making the meeting as brief as possible by interjecting in
each statement and giving immediate proposals. The group ended the meeting with
a prayer and proceeded home, leaving behind the youthful assistant pastor and
the Reverend’s wife who appeared to be holding another exclusive meeting.
“While we were
walking home, we met the senior pastor at the junction to the church, he looked
worried and asked if we had seen his wife, we told him she was still held in a
meeting with his assistant,” she said.
The pastor headed
towards the church to pick up his wife as he feared the insecurity in the town
following a rise in murder incidents by the Kayole Brothers gang.
On arrival at the
Church, he found the lights switched off and the main door closed. He decided
to use that rear door where he was shocked to find his wife entangled in the
arms of his assistant, lost in a passionate kiss.
Ali Mohammed, a resident
living near the church, said: “We heard a man scream, Yesuuu!!!Yesu!!! And we
thought he had been attacked so we ran to his rescue since we knew the voice of
the pastor only to find him bringing down the church while the wife was pleading
with him to settle.”
The man of God in
tears demolished the iron-sheet-made building in the night and immediately
hired some youth to carry them away.
Immediately after,
he left the town for an unknown place and has not picked up calls since.
The wife has since
left for her matrimonial home, leaving the church members in a dilemma.
Reached for
comment, the youthful assistant pastor noted that all that happened was the
devil’s work.
He claimed that
the pastor’s wife coerced him into the act, denying that they have been having
an affair.
“I don’t even know
how it got that far, I only came to my senses when the pastor shouted my name
upon catching us,” he said.
Church Members
have resolved to rebuild the church and cleanse the altar of sin. Some church
elders have also resolved to dismiss the assistant pastor from the church and
look for their senior pastor for talks and counselling.
