Worshippers in shock as pastor dies at the altar

A pastor, Caleb Sifuna, has collapsed and died right while service was ongoing.

Tuko reports that the 44-year-old pastor of the Free Salvation Life Ministries church in Kanduyi, Bungoma County, collapsed from his seat just minutes before he delivered his sermon. He was preparing to preach to his congregation when death came calling. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment but the doctor found no pulse as he had already died.

Confirming the incident, the church bishop, Mr Nahashon Khaemba said Mr Sifuna had just recovered from sickness and was set to preach for the first time after recovery.

“We have lost a trusted and dedicated servant of God. We cannot blame anyone for what has happened. We can only praise the Lord for we know He had good plans for him. The church is mourning but we know that God knows better,” Bishop Khaemba was quoted by the Standard.

Bishop Khaemba added: “Since recovering, he never complained of pain and there were no indication he was sick. I am surprised that we have lost him in such a mysterious way.”

May his soul rest in peace.
