Pastors in Kenya are some of the richest people with many of them living in opulence as millionaires and billionaires.
As a result, the number of pastors has expanded significantly over the past few years for this reason. Just recently Kenyans were shocked to see the Pastor Ezekiel Odero’s mass followers at Kasarani Stadium.
Kenyans, according to the pastors, are eager to hear God’s word. Thus the riches come from the flock that visits the churches as well as from donors.
This might also be a direct effect of the growing numbers of worshipers who visit churches every day in search of spiritual direction and assistance.
These are Kenya’s top-earning pastors.
Reverend Kathy Kiuna and Bishop Allan Kiuna
Jubilee Christian Church (JCC), which has several branches not only in Kenya but also beyond the country in South Africa, America, and Britain, was founded by these two, wife and husband.
