As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage the globe, many have been forced to adapt to a new normal. In Kenya, churches have been affected by the pandemic, with restrictions in place to prevent the spread of the virus.
One such restriction is the limit on the number of people allowed to attend church services, which has been reduced to 100 people per hour. Additionally, attendees must maintain a 1.5-meter distance from one another.
For Pastor James Ng'ang'a, the founder of Neno Evangelism Centre, these restrictions have had a personal impact. As he is above the age of 58, he is no longer allowed to attend church services.
However, it seems that Pastor Ng'ang'a is not just adhering to the restrictions, but also taking them to heart. A recent photo of him has gone viral, showing him with a 'bushy' look, unlike his usual well-kempt hair.
It is not just Pastor Ng'ang'a who is avoiding barbershops and salons. Many have been fearful of catching the virus, and it seems that the pastor is no exception.
