On July 26th to 28th, American actor Michael Job was in Kenya as one of the preachers at the Kiserian Mega Interdenominational crusade.

Job's appearance, dressed in a style reminiscent of Jesus Christ's portrayal in movies, sparked a social media frenzy after his photos went viral.

He has acted in films such as 'The Life of Jesus' and has preached several times dressed in the same style.

Job's photos were taken while he was walking and dancing on the streets of Kiserian, Kajiado County, and were shared on Twitter, with many Kenyans mistaking him for Jesus Christ.

However, it was later determined that Job's dress style is not new, and he has been preaching in this style for years.

Job wrote on Sunday, 'Tonight's last night of the Kiserian crusade was awesome! God's Spirit came upon all of us... Over 300 souls were saved in Kiserian. Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus, for your amazing grace! 'Go and preach the gospel to all creation'. Bless you!'
