Evangelist Ezekiel Odero, the founder of New Life Church in Shanzu, Mombasa, has relocated his church to Mavueni, Kilifi, citing bad luck at the old location.
The church, which was completed in January 2022, had been hosting services despite some final touches.
According to a church notice, the relocation was due to 'bad luck' at the old location, and the church will continue with the same spirit.
Evangelist Ezekiel Odero was quoted as saying, "Due to bad luck in that church, I decided to relocate as the almighty told me to do. We will continue with the same spirit. The spirit is also with us here."
The relocation comes just months after the death of a follower, Grace Waithera Muchiri, who travelled from Nyeri for healing and died on the balcony of the temple without seeing the man of God.
Waithera's body was discovered dead on the verandah by interested bystanders, as per a police document submitted at Kiembieni Police Station on December 6, 2021, by village elder David Charo.
