Saturday, January 10, 2025 - Self‑proclaimed “modern‑day Jesus” Eliud Wekesa, popularly known as Yesu wa Tongaren, has once again stirred social media after appealing for financial assistance.
The Bungoma‑based preacher, who leads the New Jerusalem
Church, revealed that he and his family are struggling to make ends meet.
“I, my wife, and my children are suffering. We are calling
on anyone willing to support us financially or with food. Hunger might kill us.”
“School fees is a headache and we did not even celebrate
Christmas,” Wekesa lamented.
His plea quickly ignited reactions online, with netizens
mocking the preacher’s request.
Some urged him to perform miracles like multiplying fish and
bread, just as the biblical Jesus did.
Others quoted scripture, reminding him that “man shall not
live by bread alone.”
One user wondered aloud how “Jesus” could suffer hunger when he claims to have divine powers to turn stones into bread.
