President William Ruto has promised to help a Nairobi church raise monies to construct a futuristic worship centre
President William Ruto has promised to help a Nairobi church raise monies to construct a futuristic worship centre.
Jesus Winner Ministry, situated in Roysambu, Nairobi county, is planning to build a church that would feature amenities such as parking and a helipad.
Speaking to the faithful on Sunday, March 2, Pastor Edward Mwai revealed that the church would be sitting on a 2-acre piece of land.
Displaying the artistic impression of the church on the screen before the congregants and the president, the presiding cleric further revealed that the church would also feature a basement parking to complement the one in the exterior.
While addressing the church, Ruto acceded to Pastor Mwai’s request.
He explained that the government had cleared the land on which the church would be built and issue the title deed, and also promised to alienate a piece of land to build a tarmac road leading to the church.

The president, in his personal capacity, pledged Ksh 20 million toward the church’s construction.
He made the pledge while taking a swipe at Catholic clergymen who returned his Ksh 5 million, offering some time back.
“Show me in the Bible where it is written that when you give an offering, the bishop should return it. Some of us are products of giving to God, and I am unapologetic about it. In the construction of this church, besides all other promises, I will personally give Ksh 20 million first,” the president promised.
At the same time, Ruto said he would mobilise his friends for a fundraiser with a target of Ksh 100 million.
“I have accepted to attend your fund drive. In the fundraiser, I will go organise with my friends and look for Ksh 100 million,” he said amid cheers from the faithful.
