Pastor Kanyari’s ‘Nyama Choma Service’ Sparks Online Frenzy

Controversial city preacher Pastor Victor Kanyari is back in the spotlight — and this time, it’s not for a miracle. The flamboyant preacher has set tongues wagging after a viral video showed what appeared to be a full-blown Nyama Choma feast inside his church during Sunday service.

In the clip, Kanyari is seen dancing joyfully on stage, lost in praise, as his choir belts out worship songs. But what caught everyone’s eye was the man in the background chopping roasted meat — right there, inside the church.

Congregants cheered, sang along, and appeared to enjoy the lively mix of worship and barbecue — a scene many described as “uniquely Kenyan.”

“Only in Kenya will you find a Nyama Choma service,” one amused viewer wrote.

‘Church or Cookout?’ Kenyans React

The video, which surfaced online over the weekend, has ignited a wave of reactions across social media. Some users hailed it as a joyful and creative form of fellowship, while others called it outright blasphemous.

“This man always finds a way to trend,” another user commented, recalling Kanyari’s long history of headline-making antics.

While critics accused the preacher of turning worship into entertainment, others defended him, saying church should also be a space for joy and community bonding.

Kanyari’s Unending Drama

Pastor Kanyari, who leads the Salvation Healing Ministry, is no stranger to controversy. From his lavish stage performances to bizarre “miracle” demonstrations, he has built a reputation as one of Kenya’s most unpredictable preachers.

In this latest incident, Kanyari didn’t address the meat feast — instead, he kept dancing energetically on stage, seemingly unbothered by the sizzling scene unfolding behind him.
