Inside Kenya’s Christian Death Cult | Unreported World 

If the priest of the church you’re going starting to say “God tells me to tell you “ then you know it’s time to run. Those are the worst of worse.

This has Jim Jones written all over it, my condolences to those who lost their families

“Faith is supposed to bring hope to our lives, so what value does it have if it brings fear and death!” Wow!

Kudos to the news reporter! He was respectful yet straight to the point when interviewing such a dark and eye-opening topic. Pls give him a raise!

The woman is dehydrated that's why she thinks she communicates with Jesus but in fact she is hallucinating out of thirst.

This hurts my heart and soul. I weep for the families, the friends, for all.

That elder who said "seeing is believing" should be watched.

I’m a Muslim and I don’t think it’s fair to judge any religion by people who stray from its teachings. Unfortunately dark souls will mix people’s desperation and desire for deeper meaning with fear and manipulation to bring out the worst in people :(

Wow, the pastor & his children look well fed.I spent 3yrs in the Pentecostal church ,evangelical fellowships need to be closely monitored by an independent Christian group as they often are destructive to families & individuals.

This is the worst form of manipulation. I cant imagine that they are so in to it until they refuse to be helped out of the situation.

These Demons running around calling themselves Pastors. McKenzie's Pastor friend refusing to answer because he knows the truth. May God make them answer for their wickedness and those who are hiding for them. What was done to these people, especially the children who could not make decisions for themselves, is Wicked and Evil. Those Pastor's are not from God. They are Children of Satan.

LOOOOL the Christian church elder saying ‘seeing is believing’ was top irony

you have done a good investigation than our local media here in Kenya, kudos

Thank you for this report. I wouldn't have known about this if it wasn't for y'all's hard work.

I am african ( from botswana) and I hope at some point we can all stop joining these cults as a continent.

Those elders who were denying anything happened are a part of the problem. If only 1 body was down to that man then it must be called out as evil. 'Seeing is believing' was a disingenuous statement. They claim to believe Jesus is God but they have never seen him. If Christians would just read the bible for themselves then they would have known that only God the Father knows when Jesus will return. Any human who claims they know should be avoided.

We thank the reporter for bringing this to the world attention,the media don’t tell the world about this😢

"My people die for lack of knowledge." This is why it's necessary to read the bible for yourself, so you can identify the lies from the truth.

That lady speaking on behalf of GOD is hilarious lol....Something my mother's slap can fix very well!!!

This deserves way more views! Such a powerful documentary, and importantent subjects ! We need more people talking about this!

Thank you. It must have been brutal for you to experience all of that.

This is just soul destroying so many innocent lives destroyed this reporter deserves the highest of honours and I thank you Sir

Since the Jonestown massacre I never though I’d see something like this again and certainly not in Africa

Thank you for this expose…I had no idea, and I have no words for such heartbreaking distortion of the teachings of Jesus. I pray he will bless and comfort all those who grieve the loss of their loved ones, and I pray these predatory preachers and false prophets will be stopped before more suffer from their lies.

Where did the organs of the dead people go! The fasting and preaching was just a cover up!! It is so frustrating to know there is such ignorant folk. Mackenzie was a taxi driver who so taxi business go bad and resolved to start a "church". Kenya being what it is, he might one day be walking the streets of Kenya.

People need to stop using the terms "Christian" and "Christianity" so loosely because at least 95% of so called Christians and Christianity aren't/isn't the real deal. You have to look at people's fruit. Everybody using the name Jesus isn't talking about the messiah.

I know both Malindi and Shakahola quite well. I am European and married to a Kenyan from this area. Malindi is a town of about 55.000 nhabitants while Shakahola is a village in the district, som 50 km from Malindi. People in the coast are some of the poorest in Kenya and least educated. Churches are everywhere and I think that 9 out of every 10 churches are there to take whatever small money people have. But there are a few good pastors around who are genuinely trying to educate people. The most churches are typically based on an American models, as told in the docu. American missionaries are seen all over Kenya To me, it is preaching of doomsday and devils, healing with people squirming on th floors, screaming and shouting pastors. Most of whom have absolutely no educational background. They come with a Bible and start to talk on the street, hoping to get a crowd of followers ho will build a church (shag) where they can continue to attract paying members. Mackenzie was no different. I think he was a street seller initially. They look fo money or power or both. And they have gods conditions in an area where critical thinking is non-existent (as shown with the church elders in the video). Corruption makes it possible for these radical pastors to operate. Near Shakahola lies Chakama, another village, which houses the local chief. I find it very hard to believe that he and his predecessor didn't know that something fishy was going on signing death certificates without viewing bodies. Another local pastor was often seen with Mackenzie and this pastor was clearly wheeled in by Mackenzie's view that children should not go to school as he tried to persuade his children not to take their children to school. And I can go on and on.

Not the pastor saying seeing is believing 😭😂

Millions are stuck in cults like this all over the world.People are just refusing to think.the smart ones are just taking advantage of the stupid ones.

8:47 The level of ignorance they have is shocking, these are Pharisees of our generation.

Eye opening interviews. These families deserve justice

The reporter is so respectful

So heartbreaking 💔

This is the thing with people not just in America or in Canada where I leave, but also in Africa, they have placed these so called pastors on such a pedestal, they have placed their complete trust in these individuals. Trust God (the LORD Jesus Christ), and not people. Someone in the comment said Jim Jones, and I agree, this wicked individual was the first person that the LORD brought to my mind when I the documentary started.

Seeing is believing, says the pastor. The problem isn’t the evidence, it’s the fact that their interests are at stake and they deny it just because it keeps their lifestyles safe

Am so worried by the church my mother and my sister is currently attending. I don't know what to do and am far from home!

Jim Jones 2… & that “trance” was eye-rolling. This is an extreme case of people putting their Faith in Man / Woman and not GOD, along with shear ignorance of God’s Word, naïveté, and unwavering trust in humans - until it’s too late. One wolf can easily fool many sheep.

I just discovered this channel and I'm so glad to have something that actually tells the stories of things you'd absolutely never learn about normally. Almost like how Vice used to be, but less edgy and far more informative, I'm a huge fan!

This is so sad 💔. However, this happens when people love and believe in their pastor or leader more than God himself. Anybody who has God within them is blessed with the gift of discernment to see things beyond the surface. It's very sad 💔but there are many around the world who praise leaders and has no thought-process

Small things can help prevent these things in every country. Literacy, education, healthcare, and a sense of community, fair law in every country in the world. Together we stand stronger, taller, alone we can’t

sadly there is EXTREMEISM in every belief set..this is an good expose of an unbalanced belief structure.. a great example of why emphasis on works can be deadly..grace mercy compassion and love should always be primary regardless of faith choice

Please don’t judge all Christians by the sins of some. Cults are formed when people build a new doctrine off of one or two verses. They take scripture out of context and turn it into some thing of a manipulation tool.

salama masaka 's house broke my heart , hope things get better for her.

same here in jamaica ..im seeing people saying that its because of poverty but this practice has been done in our society by rich or poor wealth has nothing to do with the decision they made, they were led to believe in an idea of returning when dead and the bible amplifies that that the issue not hunger!

Am not surprised these men won’t take any accountability as alleged men of God Hence why I would never look back at churches I still can’t wrap around my head about this What level of desperation led these people to follow such men 😢

This why education is important. Be educated and you’ll know not to believe in this. Unfortunate. May all their souls rest in eternal peace.

Thank you for this report. To the point and lots of info

I can't imagine how these people are affected finding these bodies or what remains of them😖😖😖💔💔

*How are people so easily fooled by false preachers? Bless them Lord for they know not what they do.*

Brave brave men. What a trauma they have experienced.

Same situation we are facing right now in Zimbabwe

We sponsored a Kenyan student and was dismayed by his secrecy and many inappropriate attempts to get money to send home. We suspect he was taken from his immediate family under the pretext of helping him only to be used. He would act fearful and anxious. He did elude to owing a debt, but refused to elaborate.

We had something similar happen in Uganda. They were all burnt in the church. They all sold their properties and gave the money to the pastor, who also said the world was coming to an end.

This breaks my heart 😢

My girl, we're still with you..following you everywhere as if I'm around there with you. Anywhere God is with you..and he Loves you and your kids..take care..🇵🇬

One happened in Jamaica too where only a handful of people died UW please cover it

14:14 I find that especially sad because that aunt seems like she could have been a very good new mother to those kids, like a competent person of good character - in stark contrast to all the delusional, anti-intellectual and amoral faithful christians in this story. I think the aunt's wish to become a muslim is probably because in that area, you can either be a christian, or a muslim, or have no community. and the former are all insane and stupid.

Police must be very smart to build a case which will see Mackenzie gone for good. First they must have witnesses who are ready to testify and prove they were tricked to go there then detained and starved without their consent. The witness must be proven to really participated or being rescued during operation.

Excellent work

HeartBreaking 😢

My people perish because they lack knowledge

not the pastor 's son saying his father is innocent, lol . funny how the pastor never took his kids to the church but told others to bring theirs . this whole thing is really sad

I am💯% in agreement. The journalist is awesome, I mean very professional.

This is very sad an terrifying at the same time.

Her thinking that converting is the solution, shows how desperate people are.

Great journalism

These things continue to occur all over the world and people fail to learn from the mistakes of others. 😢😢😢😢😢

I wouldn't say Christianity is on trial, because THIS IS LITERALLY not what you're even told to do by our religion. Our Religion is THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

It's just sad to see such will-full ignorance of a small group at the top stifling development of the vast majority of souls under them.

"Where is the line between extremism & faith"

This happens when they become dependent on the leader. They do not seek God for themselves or read the Bible to verify if what is being preached is biblical. Be aware that many sorcerer and wizard, satanist posed as man of God. We should depend on God and not on man. Obviously they are under his spell.

and ive been asked multiple times if i believe things are getting better..to that i say no. so much suffering...when will it end?

Sad fact there's more Ministers out there doing the same anious acts to many families 😲

Foreign Religion has finished Africans😢😢💔💀

So sad 💔💔

From what I have learned and everyone should look out for, if you pastor doesn't have anyone to report to, to make sure they are doing right.. Run from that place

How could people not know that this can never be of God😮 Everyone should seek God on their own......This is just so barbaric and unbelievable in 2023😢SMDH. Put him under the jail plz😡

Singing so beautiful Sorry for your loss 😢

My heart weeps for their lives, wellbeing and maybe for their souls. In the world of poverty we call Africa and more specifically Kenya in this case. Sorry that the rest of the world still doesn't care many still live in mud huts but can still have mobile phones. The contrast is both beautiful and ugly here maybe that's why we created the word for it because nothing makes more sense than charging your smartphone in mud... But much love from Australia 🌏🦘❤ my heart breaks watching this. But why it breaks more is how little it breaking will do to help you. I'm so so sorry.

He tells people he will be last to fast instead of being first

I can understand the plight of the lady. Here is my advice, people should know God for themselves. When people are ignorant or lack knowledge they can't decipher what's good or bad.

This is not even close to being Christian. God is a god of love, grace and mercy.

Thomas... blessings to you, Dad & Samantha!

That pastor is the next Jim jones

Omg the part where she tranced😅...this is a good Documentary 🇰🇪

This horror made me queasy. I’m disturbed.

Can you do a further investigation of where McKenzie is today,?

prophetess got me😂😂😂 "mmmmmmmmhhhh mmmmmmh" cant talk unless the mic is close to me. "hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmm"

The scripture clearly warns believers about false prophets who parade themselves to be followers of Jesus Christ. The real problem about alot of believers is that they are not studying the word of God for themselves so they can know God's ways, they are just blindly following anyone who profess himself to be a man of God. The Bible clearly tells us to study to show ourselves approved, stop following blindly. Every believer of Jesus Christ must be filled with the Holy Spirit and study the Bible for themselves especially the new testament if we want to avoid being a victim to these false prophets/teacher...

Total. Madness

First order, love God. Second order love your neighbor as your self. This is not loving God or loving yourself. Letting someone starve to death is not loving your neighbor. This is not of God.

I have no words...

So sad that people will use evil in the name of God. They deserve eternal damnation.

God will never ask you to murder yourself or others. We aren't here by accident and there is plenty of work to do while we are here.

😭God Bless all those beautiful victims and survivors . We hear your story now .

Tragic and horrific

Religion is not by force, God is for us all. Just know God by yourself

Betty is so gracious and beautiful

You see Mckenzie's son doesn't have peace, don't let that big stomach fool you... There is no peace for the wicked

This is so heartbroken and sickening disgusting this issue needs the world to see it I never knew this was happening in Africa all these killing specially children why what an evil so evil it’s unbelievable thank you for sharing this with us we are appreciate you❤❤❤
