Pastor closes down church after winning 100 million through sports betting

A Ugandan pastor, David Ochieng has abandoned his ministerial work after hitting a huge sum of money through sports betting.

Local media reports that he won 100 million UGX (N21 million) and decided to shutdown his church thereby leaving members in disbelief and confusion.

When he realised that he is now 100 million shillings richer, he closed down the building and left members of his congregation stranded when they came for midweek service.

Members of the church who visited the premises were shocked when they saw that the gate was locked and did not know what to do.

The clergyman was contacted and he confessed that the reason he chose to work in the vineyard of God was strictly to earn income to survive and not because he was called.

Ochieng further described the winning as a blessing from God and a swift way to get him out of poverty he was in because he could not sustain himself with money from his poor congregation.

He has fulfilled the motive he had all along in a faster way

Yoruba man from Uganda..

There are many pastors, bishops, clergymen, prophets and apostles here in Nigeria.That is why they always preach about tithes and offerings as a way to make God answer the prayers of their members.

Sadly, so many pastor's in our motherland will do same!
Take away offering and tithe from the church and check if your church will be existing...
I love God so much and nothing can seperate me from HIM.. Forget pastor, create a personal relationship with ELOHIM.
but then please someone should assist me with 1k, is for something so urgent

Hmmm, are you sure you have a personal relationship with ELOHIM, because even the children of people that have personal relationship with ELOHIM don't beg for bread, talk more of they themselves begging for money online🙄

That is about #12,260,000.

In Nigerian naira.

Funny pastor.

His is on the same mission with other pastors, no exception.

Nobody knows he's a gambler before he won.

The ones with over 500 branches, Private jets and Universities will never quit, trust me.

Thanks for making such confession. It's now God wants to use you.

Why is this thread under crime abeg? Should we equally move all other threads on pastors to crime too since they are all opportunists no different from this pastor here?

is this real?
