Don’t call me for your school fees fundraisers – Pastor Ng’ang’a warns congregants
Renowned founder of Neno Evangelism, James Maina Ng’ang’a, has issued a stern warning to his congregants, cautioning them against inviting him to participate in fundraisers aimed at financing their children’s education.
In an undated church service, the controversial clergyman adamantly declared that he would not be contributing any money towards such endeavors, expressing his disapproval of the practice.
“Some people are crazy. You’re calling me to come for a fundraiser for your child going to Form One. You expect me to come? Did we give birth together? Take back the child where they came from. Don’t bring nonsense to me. Didn’t you know you should have saved for their education since they were in Class One? I should contribute for your child to go to school?” Ng’ang’a exclaimed passionately during the service.

This incident is not the first of its kind, as Ng’ang’a has previously rebuked individuals seeking financial assistance from him.
In 2020, he addressed congregants who habitually requested handouts, expressing his reluctance to provide monetary aid.
In a viral video captured during his preaching, an agitated Ng’ang’a criticized those seeking assistance, suggesting that they should turn to the government for support with rent and childcare expenses rather than approaching him.
“I cannot give money to them. Will I build their house or will I build the house of God?” he angrily questioned.
Ng’ang’a has been consistent in his firm stance against financial appeals. He also criticized men who don’t pay the dowry for women despite their parents educating them.
“If it’s marriage, you take other people’s daughters…you just create chaos. You don’t want to give dowry for that girl, and then you come saying ‘Praise the Lord.’ Praise Him for what? You are just a liar. Inside, you are an empty bag. The girl has left school, and you have also abandoned your home…now look at how things have gone wrong. Because even the parents themselves are not practicing worship,” he said.
