Do you know the Burundian pastor Chris Ndikumana who does not ask for tithes or offerings?
During the recent crusade in Abidjan which brought together nearly 300,000 people, testimonies of miraculous healing emerged, attributed to the Burundian pastor Chris Ndikumana. Hundreds of thousands of devotees gathered to take part in the spiritual event, where people claimed to have been cured of various ailments, including Covid-19 and back problems.
Born in 1973 in Burundi, Chris Ndikumana experienced a profound spiritual transformation at the age of 20. His journey, marked by challenges, led him to merge spirituality and technology through his cyber café, which has become a symbol of his ministry. The term Kangukawhich means “wake up,” sums up its mission to spiritually awaken Christians.
The former Ivorian actress and producer Hanny Tchelley shared her personal experience, claiming to have been cured of Covid-19 after following the pastor’s teachings. “I prayed with the man of God Chris Ndikumana, and after a few days I was healed,” she said, illustrating the impact this crusade had on many participants.
Social media has since been flooded with healing testimonieswith stories of people who have seen their ailments miraculously disappear. One woman, for example, described how her herniated disc evaporated as soon as she heard the pastor’s first words. However, these testimonies raise questions about their veracity, as little hard evidence is provided.
Chris Ndikumana positions himself above all as a mediator between God and men. During his sermons, he insists that it is not he who heals, but Jesus. His humility is highlighted by other pastors, including Marcello Tunasiwho praised his modest approach and his commitment spiritual.
The crusade in Abidjan not only brought together nearly 300,000 people seeking healing, but it also revealed the financial and spiritual dimensions of Chris Ndikumana’s ministry. As healing stories continue to fuel discussions on social media, the issue of authenticity and transparency remains a topic of interest.
Ndikumana recalls that although some may have interpreted his words as a ban on offerings, this is not the case. As part of the crusadehe explains that the Holy Spirit personally asked him not to collect offerings that year. However, he emphasizes that this choice is a special case and that the offerings during the crusades are not intrinsically evil or contrary to the Word of God. In fact, he cites biblical passages to support this practice, asserting that supporting God’s work is biblical.
