I think that Pastor Lai is very right about these so called Kenyan Pastors. Majority of them left their wives or husbands at home and they have never gone back home even to check on them. Some pastors have started illicit affairs with other women / men because of the high power/ velocity of carnal pleasures in them. Some have even pregnated women and they fathered Illegitimate children. One pastor told her g/f to say she had adopted a baby. We have many stories about these pastors. Some have separated with their wives or husbands only to start new illicit affairs, what a shame?

I understand there is this one who used to call himself 'very blessed' and if the story is true about him he started beating his wife as if they lived in hell because 4giving her was not enough even if she said sorry. He was gifted in wife beating antiques wherever and whenever even without a sababu.

There are also these single women (mothers) Pastors who always come to preach in Diaspora and according to them God never sends them with a message to unite families regardless or whatsoever. They shut their ears to the spirit whenever this message comes. They never help married christian women to stay in their marriages. They say that their divorce letter were arranged in heaven so they are always right to live as divorced Christian women.

There is this woman Pastor who went to exploit a husband of another lady. She even dared to call the wife of this fish on her mobile to tell her that she was at the chest of her man and that she was now enjoying what this wife enjoyes for years alone. These are just but some of the evil practices done by our Pastors. Also we have this other Pastor who we understand went to be ordained by a gay Pishop somewhere in Britain. Surely what is wrong with our Pastors? God help them.

Some Pastors of Kenyan community churches in the Diaspora have been castigated for lowering their moral standards thus making their followers see no need also to be morally upright.

The searing attack was said by a renowned long time evangelist, Rev. Dr. Bishop Wilfred Lai last week at the conclusion of a three-day prayer revival conference at the Radisson Hotel in Chelmsford, Mass.

The conference was organized and coordinated by Rev. Joseph Waiyaki of Christian Community Church in Lowell, Mass and involved visits to several churches including Saint Stephens Church, Rapture Harvest Mission in Wakefield and the Divine Gospel Ministries in Worcester.

Dr. Lai is the senior pastor at the large Jesus Celebration Center in Mombasa, Kenya, (website) and is the Secretary General of over 2000 churches under the Redeemed Gospel Churches.

The pastor said that when Kenyans came to America, including pastors, they can access many things that were hard to get back home, causing the love of money, material things and a mad quest for bodily pleasures to overtake the love of God.

When we come to America, we have to fight with the world because a lot is nearer to you here than was in Kenya, he said.

These pastors are enemies of God. They love the world more than God, added the pastor.

Dr. Lai said that as a result, some pastors have created large groups of sinners meeting in the name of God which also leads to stressful living standards for Kenyans in the greatest country on earth.

What you have are not churches, but large congregations of sinners, added the diminutive man of God.

The shocking revelation caught the over 250 Kenyans present by surprise. Dead silence reigned in the dimly lit large room for a few seconds, before everyone in the room could process the impact of the statement, only to be followed by a sudden loud applause as people seemed to unanimously agree with the long time cleric.

Kenyan pastors present seemed caught off guard as well, but joined the thunderous clapping regardless.

Dr. Lai added that if the pastors truly believe that they came to America to cause a good change, they should open up their churches to everybody in the general community and not just serve a small clique of Kenyans using their ethnic languages. You can not truly leave a mark in America without touching the Americans in a nice way. You should open your doors to serve the Americans too.

Dr Lai said by doing that, it would save some pastors from the fear loosing members to other churches who tolerate sinful behaviors among the close knit members of the same community."Let us try to make the Kenyan church an international church", he said

He gave an example of a branch that his church opened in Minnesota called Jesus Celebration Centre Twin Cities (website) , which is frequented by diverse groups of people including white folks, African Americans, Africans, Spanish and many others. JCC also has a branch in the United Kingdom.

Earlier during the same day, Rev. Lai shocked over 400 Kenyans who congregated at the Saint Stephens church in Lowell when he said that very many people are hiding in the church. They carry bibles, serve and sing on Sunday, but as soon as they leave church, they sink into extremely sinful behaviors.

He said that, People have forsaken the things of God. They go to the bar and drink but they never get satisfied. They do things to bring pleasure to their bodies but tomorrow they will want to do the same thing again.

Why work the way you work only to spend your time and money on things that has no future, things that do not satisfy? Dr. Lai posed.

The pastor added that he has observed that many Kenyans are in voluntary slavery in America, getting paid meager wages thus never get time to go to listen to the real word of God since they are stuck working too many hours.

He added that a spiritually bankrupt person is worse off than one who lives in Mathare (Mathare is said to be the worlds biggest slum village located in Nairobi Kenya where debilitating poverty and violence is the norm).

The pastor told Kenyans that when people are not receiving gifts from above, they will need to keep working many hours at odd hours in order to make ends meet.

Bemoaning the low moral standards of some pastors in the Kenyan community churches in the USA, Dr. Lai said that such low standards lead to even lower standards by their followers.
