Paul Kuria, widely recognized as Man Kush, is a charismatic and outspoken pastor admired for his straightforward preaching style. His candid and unfiltered approach has made him a beloved figure among his followers.
Recently, he appeared on the MIC Cheque Podcast to discuss topics ranging from wealth and religion to his personal life. His primary focus is on fostering a close-knit community of believers while expanding the network of churches under his leadership. However, managing a growing congregation comes with challenges, particularly in handling offerings and tithes.
Man Kush shared a remarkable story about collecting 90 kilograms of coins during a single offering, stored in a large sack. He explained, “Every church has its pastor. I don’t view offerings as mine. In my church, people have the freedom to give as they wish—I don’t demand it from them.”
On an average Sunday, his church collects over Sh200,000, but Man Kush is known for his generosity, often redistributing the funds to help those in need. “Sometimes I give it all away because so many people are struggling. Why should I keep money while someone else goes to bed hungry?” he said.
Describing his ministry as a divine calling rather than a studied profession, Man Kush reflected, “It’s not about education—many pastors study for this, but for me, it was a calling. Before starting my church, I traveled the country holding large crusades.”
He also recalled a time when the Kenyan government announced a coin shortage. To his surprise, he realized he had 12 bags, each weighing 90 kilograms and equivalent to the weight of sacks of potatoes, filled with coins at home. These collections, amounting to Sh13-14 million, were handed over to a bank to return the coins to circulation.
Reflecting on the unique events of his journey, Man Kush quipped, “That’s how you become a celeb,” highlighting the extraordinary experiences that have shaped his life.
