Dhambi imejaa! Pastor Kanyari warns his followers against joining TikTok
Pastor Victor Kanyari from Salvation Healing Ministry displayed great excitement during a recent church service upon spotting a woman from TikTok.
The interaction, documented in a video posted by Shifu TV, depicted Pastor Kanyari extending an invitation to the woman to approach the front.
“Mama, you are very beautiful. Wow, thank you. Are you from TikTok? Oh, look at this lady! Come and greet me. Oh, Jesus! Such people can’t be found on TV. Look at how beautiful she is.”
He then warmly welcomed her to sit in a preferred spot in the church, “Welcome, mama, sit here, not there. Please sit here na upewe soda.”
Pastor Kanyari warns his congregants against TikTok
During another sermon, which was also shared on the Shifu TV TikTok page, Pastor Kanyari expressed his doubts about the short video platform.
Despite being active on the platform himself, Kanyari has some reservations about its influence.
With a tone mixed with humour and seriousness, he explained his stance to his followers. “TikTok has words, don’t enter there,” he warned amidst laughter from his audience.
“I don’t want to see you there, you stay there on TV. Don’t enter there, there’s madness there, your Mathare madness is there. All the madness in the world is on TikTok. I hear things there I’ve never heard elsewhere since I was born, but I endure, ” Kanyari continued, emphasising his concern.
While advising against the use of TikTok among his church members, Kanyari also defended his own presence on the platform.
The pastor, who has been a TikTok user for several weeks, clarified that his aim is not to chase monetary gain but to connect with the youth.
According to him, many young people on TikTok are being led astray, and his mission is to reach out to them.
“I did not pursue money on TikTok but followed the youth, who are the majority of its users, to preach to them,” Kanyari stated, asserting that many youths on the platform are “surrounded by the devil,” he said.
