Published on October 2, 2019, Pastor James Maina Nganga of Neno Evangelistic Ministries has earned himself a reputation as a man of God with a complex and often controversial past.
One of the lesser-known facts about Pastor Nganga is that he is married to Mercy Murugi, who is significantly younger than him, and the two formalized their union in 2012.
Despite his humble beginnings as a street preacher and hawker, Pastor Nganga has built a business empire that has earned him a spot among the wealthiest men of God in Kenya.
His business ventures include a second-hand car selling business in Nairobi, a luxurious hotel along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway, and a multi-million shilling palatial home in Karen.
Interestingly, Pastor Nganga has been quoted as saying that jail is his second home, a testament to his tumultuous past, which includes a stint as an ex-convict.
Neno Evangelistic Church, the church at the center of all controversies, is located along Pumuani road in Nairobi.
