Kenya’s Secret Church Set Up To Welcome LGBTQ+ Worshippers Goes Viral

Kenya’s Secret Church Set Up To Welcome LGBTQ Worshippers Goes Viral - In Kenya, there’s a church that’s been going strong for the past ten years by keeping a low profile. It doesn’t promote its services openly, which is quite unusual in a country known for its strong religious beliefs. The interesting part? This discreet approach is intentional, as the church aims to be a welcoming place for gay worshippers. Before we dive into our topic today, if you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to our channels and ringing the bell to be notified about all our exciting future videos. A discreet church in Kenya has quietly sustained itself for the past decade, deliberately avoiding publicizing its services in the socially conservative atmosphere of a country where gay sex is prohibited. Operating clandestinely, the church has become a haven for over 200 members, most of whom have left their previous places of worship due to discrimination. The congregation faces numerous challenges, including attacks, eviction, and police harassment highlighting the difficulties encountered by those who seek to provide a safe haven for the LGBTQ community in Kenya. The church, founded as a small gathering for mutual support, primarily for queer Christians who felt marginalized in mainstream churches, has evolved into a resilient community. Members, often forced to abandon their previous places of worship, find acceptance and understanding within this discreet congregation. Amidst the challenges of operating discreetly in a country where homosexuality remains illegal, the church has changed locations nine times in its ten years of existence, emphasizing the lengths to which it goes to ensure the safety of its members. Despite facing adversity, the congregation remains committed to maintaining a flexible schedule to accommodate worshippers who are not open about their sexuality in other aspects of their lives. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at) Follow us on Instagram - Follow us on Twitter - Join us on Facebook - ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn’t fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
