Praise, fire, and roasted meat. That was the jaw-dropping scene that left Kenyans talking — as controversial Pastor Kanyari turned his Sunday service into what looked like a Nyama Choma party right at the altar. With gospel music blaring and worshippers cheering, sizzling meat was served in the house of God — and the internet couldn’t believe its eyes.
In the now-viral clip, the flamboyant pastor is seen dancing with joy on stage, fully immersed in worship, as praise music blares in the background. But behind him?
A man calmly chopping roasted meat in the sanctuary—yes, in church.As congregants clapped, sang, and seemingly soaked in both the spirit and the smoky aroma, the country watched in disbelief. Was this a celebration of faith—or a complete mockery of the pulpit?
Kenyans React: “Only in Kenya!”
The video lit up social media, with reactions pouring in across the spectrum. Some were amused, calling it “classic Kanyari energy”, while others were outraged, accusing him of turning worship into a “weekend circus.”
“Only in Kenya will you find a Nyama Choma service,” one shocked user quipped.
“This man never runs out of ways to trend,” another added.
For many, the video has reignited a long-standing debate: Is the modern Kenyan church losing its spiritual direction in the name of entertainment?
