“Myself I would not say I’m poor, I’d be lying. I’m not poor, but I’m also not rich. I’d say whatever I have is to facilitate me to preach the Gospel,” admitted Musili.

So when do faith healers cross the line from miracle workers to predators preying on the poor?

Reverend Peter Karanja, head of The National Council of Churches of Kenya, an independent organization, said miracles can happen, but they should not be sold.

“So the moment someone tells you pay something so that I pray for you and you’ll get a blessing or a benefit, that alone is a reason for you to recognize that here, you are being exploited,” he said.

The more established churches in the country are also concerned that some new ministries can bring with them some bad influences.

At the Catholic Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi, Father Simon Ng’ang’a said church leaders were only human.

“There are a lot of mushrooming churches. Some are based on the tenants of Jesus Christ. But I can say, there are some people who are very capitalistic. And when they are preaching to the people. They are not looking for the good of the people. But they want to enrich themselves,” he said.

Musili himself admitted there were some bad actors in Kenya’s many churches, taking advantage of the most desperate.

His advice is not to judge any church - new or old - just because of a few swindlers. After all, he noted, everyone has their demons.
