Nairobi revellers are set to experience an unforgettable night after an Anglican priest from the Diocese of Kitale, Padre Michael Watenga, aka Padre wa Wote, announced his visit to the capital city.
Taking to his official TikTok account on Thursday, December 4, 2025, Watenga disclosed that he will be visiting Nairobi starting December 8, 2025, and called on locals, including nightclub owners, to invite him to preach.
“God is good and all the time. Padre wa wote, Padre Michael Watenga here, now nimepata ma invitation kutoka different places, but from tarehe nane December I will be in Nairobi. Watu wa Nairobi, you can invite me if you need my presence, nikuje ili nipige injili,” Watenga said.
Known for his unconventional approach to evangelism, he has previously preached in notable clubs and pubs within Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, bringing spirituality closer to the city’s youth and nightlife crowd.
Conditions for invites
The popular preacher revealed that he has also received invitations from Kisii, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru. However, he noted that his nightclub visit comes with a few practical conditions to ensure smooth logistics.
“Nimepata invitation from Kisii, Mombasa, Kisumu, na Nakuru, but of course ukini invite unafaa ujue nitakufikia aje like fuel, accommodation na security; those are my only conditions,” he said.
Reasons for club visits
Padre Watenga has so far visited several wine and spirit shops as well as nightclubs located in Eldoret, including the famous club owned by Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi, Timba XO club.
The man of God, who is also vocal on TikTok, in a video said that before he started his visits to partygoers, he sought permission from his superiors. He also revealed plans to expand his outreach beyond his usual areas.
He noted that his mission is to preach the gospel, offer prayers, and bless people.
He emphasised that those in nightlife spaces were valuable, saying they were important individuals, and added that even those who drink alcohol are still people who matter.
Padre Watenga says he intends to move from Nairobi to Nakuru, Kisumu and other major towns, encouraging people to invite him to clubs so he can continue spreading his message.
“I have been thinking about it, have been praying about it and asked permission from my superiors, so I will be visiting different clubs, big and small, in different counties mkini invite tunaelewana alafu ntajua ntawafikia aje nakuja kupiga injili nakuja kupiga sala, bless you people, I pray for you,” he said.
“Nyinyi ni watu wa maana, you are an important person. Drunkers are human beings, too. This gospel should go deeper than a bottle of alcohol. It should reach their hearts and transform their lives. I do not judge. Even Jesus did not judge. I meet everyone; I mingle with them. I will start going from Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu, and all over.”
