A Kenyan pastor has sparked mixed reactions online after confidently sharing a phone number and appealing to Kenyans to contribute towards his daughter’s upcoming wedding.
The pastor, who ministers at a well-known city church, announced that his first-born daughter will be walking down the aisle soon. In a viral video, he invited all Kenyans to attend the ceremony — but with one request:
that they send financial contributions before the big day.
He publicly displayed a mobile number and assured the public that any amount sent would be appreciated and used to support the wedding plans.
Screenshots from the trending video, as well as the official wedding invitation card, have been circulating widely across social media platforms.
The pastor’s appeal has triggered a heated debate online, especially on Instagram. Many Kenyans argued that a wedding should be funded by the couple themselves, not by members of the public. Others felt the request was inappropriate and unnecessary, despite the pastor insisting that the contributions were voluntary.
The story continues to attract strong reactions as Kenyans question whether religious leaders should rely on public fundraising for personal family events.
