A pastor and
his followers spent the day at Embu mortuary in Nairobi praying with the hope
that his wife will resurrect.
Pastor
Robinson Githumba, 40, of Eagle Prophetic Church camped at the Gakwegori
funeral from 8 am for the mission.
With bibles,
they prayed enthusiastically, singing and shouting at the top of their voices
expecting a miracle.
They intend to
resurrect Polly Kagendo, 38, who died of TB on Sunday.
Githumba
insisted that his wife was not dead but only resting and would resurrect on the
fourth day like the biblical Lazarus.
The pastor
traveled from Rwika Village, Mbeere South sub-county with his followers.
He asked the
mortuary attendants to remove his wife's body and put it in an open place for
the prayers.
Drenched in
sweat, they continued until 5pm when the attendants sought to return the body
as they were to close for the day.
The pastor and
his team did not allow the press to enter the mortuary, only speaking to
members of the media outside.
He said his
wife fell sick and was rushed to Mwea hospital where she passed way. He carried
for her clothes to put in case she rose.
She was later
transferred to the funeral home for preservation.
Githumba said
he believes his wife, 'whom he loved so much', will rise again.
"That is
why we are praying for her resurrection. We know God is the most powerful
being."
"I know
she will be visited after three days the way Jesus visited Lazarus and woke him
up from the dead," he said.
"I know
this will also happen to my wife," Githumba, a father of four, said.
The woman is
set to be buried on Saturday. But with the current development, the plan is
likely to change
