December 23, 2019, marked a peculiar day at the Rabboni Centre Ministries in South Africa, where senior Pastor Lesego Daniel allegedly served millipedes and beer as holy communion to his church members.
According to reports, Pastor Daniel defended his actions by stating that God has given humans everything on earth as food, and any food prayed upon can be considered the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
During the communion service, church members were made to eat millipedes and drink bottles of beer and other alcoholic drinks.
The church uploaded pictures of the 'mass feeding' on its Facebook page, along with an official statement that read in part: 'Truly this scripture was fulfilled in Rabboni center ministries today...'
However, the statement's full text, which cited Genesis 9 and other biblical passages, was not provided in the original article.
