Pastor Ng’ang’a Surprised by Massive Support During First TikTok Live

 

Pastor James Ng’ang’a experienced a shock like no other when he went live on TikTok for the very first time. Thousands of viewers tuned in, flooding the livestream with virtual gifts worth over eighty-eight thousand shillings in just minutes.

The fiery preacher, known for his bold sermons at Neno Evangelism Centre, was visibly overwhelmed by the unexpected outpouring of support from a younger generation. “So you people love me? Gen Z, I’ll come so you can teach me this tap-tap thing,” he joked, referring to TikTok’s interactive features. He expressed amazement at the platform’s reach and promised to start using it more often, even suggesting he would perform miracles live to connect better with his audience.

Behind the scenes, Pastor Ng’ang’a’s team updated him as gifts kept rolling in during the session. “This is on another level,” he said, grateful for the generosity. In appreciation, he pledged to hold a special prayer session dedicated to Gen Z viewers in the near future.

The preacher’s entry into TikTok comes at a time when religious figures are increasingly turning to social media to reach wider audiences. His viral debut has sparked mixed reactions online. Fans praised his humour and honesty, with some calling him a “Gen Z father” and others amused by his learning curve on the new platform.

Just weeks earlier, Pastor Ng’ang’a had dismissed apocalyptic predictions about the world ending on August 2, warning followers against fearmongering. His presence on TikTok raises questions about how religious leaders will continue to blend traditional messages with modern technology.

Will Pastor Ng’ang’a’s TikTok journey change the way faith is shared online, or is this a passing trend? Only time will tell.
