July 30, 2019, Cape Town — A bizarre incident in Kiseria, Kenya, has left many Christians and non-Christians alike scratching their heads. A white man, dressed as Jesus Christ, was spotted waving to people from a car's sunroof, sparking rumors that the 'Son of God' had finally arrived.

Michael Job, an actor, evangelist, and president of Jesus Loves You Evangelistic Ministries, was at the center of the controversy. According to his social media profiles, Job claims to have studied music and vocal performance at a college in New York and to be a former associate pastor at Christ Embassy International.

Job's Jesus impersonation was part of a crusade in Kiseria, where he preached dressed as Jesus as portrayed in movies. The event was met with cheers and celebrations from the congregants, who danced and celebrated on the streets. However, many took to social media to express their skepticism, with some accusing Job of claiming to be Jesus.

Job has been preaching dressed as Jesus for years, and he even portrayed Jesus in a movie titled 'Life of Jesus.' While some have questioned the authenticity of the event, others have praised Job's creativity and dedication to his ministry.
