Pastor James Ng’ang’a, the founder of Neno Evangelism, has stirred controversy by publicly expressing regret over attending Benny Hinn’s crusade at Nyayo Stadium.
Despite the event attracting notable figures such as First Lady Rachel Ruto and televangelist Pastor Ezekiel Odero, Ng’ang’a found himself unimpressed by Hinn’s performance.
Known for his candid demeanor, Ng’ang’a did not shy away from critiquing Hinn’s presentation.
While initially attending with the intention of observing how God operates through Hinn, Ng’ang’a left disappointed.
He remarked, “I went to the meeting. I just went to see how God uses him. I will not speak now, but something is wrong. That man struggled. He struggled. He is a singer and he sang in my presence, but he struggled.”
Ng’ang’a specifically highlighted Hinn’s difficulties during singing, suggesting that the performance failed to leave a lasting impression on him.
Feeling disregarded at the event, Ng’ang’a revealed that he was acknowledged only once and seated at a distance from the main stage, which he perceived as insufficient recognition given his stature within the religious community.
“I am a man of tactics. I was put to sit somewhere at a table that was not so close. I was only recognized once. Greet somebody and tell them to mind your own business,” he added.
Despite Ng’ang’a’s reservations, Hinn’s crusade garnered significant attention and attracted prominent leaders, including President William Ruto, Deputy Rigathi Gachagua, Second Lady Dorcas Rigathi, and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
Ng’ang’a’s critique adds to the ongoing debate surrounding Hinn’s ministry and the impact of such high-profile events within the religious landscape.
As discussions continue, Ng’ang’a’s candid remarks serve as a reminder of the importance of discernment and critical evaluation in matters of faith and spiritual leadership.
