In a recent revelation, Pastor Nganga, founder of Neno Evangelism, discussed a challenging period in the church’s history.
Following the introduction of his new wife, over 400 women, including key members, left his church.
Many had anticipated his next steps after being widowed, and his decision to remarry led to unexpected consequences.
Approximately 700 women, including long-standing members, departed after the marriage announcement, causing a significant impact on the church.
“When I wanted to marry my wife, this church had a big problem,”
“The church was so flooded. Several women had been approaching me, because when you have an anointing and also wealth, women come into your life.

They are everywhere. So when I unveiled my wife, believe me or not, 700 women stood and walked away,” pastor Nganga narrated.
The congregation felt betrayed when Pastor Ng’ang’a married someone outside the church, leading many to leave, but he stood by his decision to marry the woman he loved, despite the personal and communal challenges it caused.
“I lost 400 people, I stood and told them to go away; she was mine, not God’s,” he said.
Adding:
“They knew my first wife was dead and had hoped I would pick them… Even ushers walked out, wondering why I couldn’t have picked them.”

Pastor Ng’ang’a wife
Away from his controversies, Pastor Ng’ang’a is a family man.
He is blessed with a beautiful wife called Mercy Murugi, with whom he has three children, the youngest being six months old.
Speaking a past interview, he said, “When my first wife died, I was forced to make a very critical decision of getting married again. I married young Mercy, who is a daughter to one of my church members.”
They tied the knot in 2012 at the Windsor Golf Club in a wedding attended by popular politicians, close friends and family.
Ng’ang’a describes his wife as young, beautiful and smart. “By the time I knew her, she was in university, and that is one thing that attracted me to her as I did not go to school myself,” he said.
He also considered someone who he will enjoy life with at his old age. “I wouldn’t have looked for an old person whose ‘mileage’ would not last long,” he said.
Ng’ang’a’s relationship with Mercy was faced with opposition from many church members, who thought she was too young for the 66-year-old pastor.
