"We dated for nine months before we tied the knot," he said.

"I only had five hundred shillings in my pocket, but God touched people to give me their cars, and they volunteered to give us cakes, food and everything that made my wedding successful.I can say it is God," he narrated.

Scholastica wasn't a member of his church, but she was born again, and he wore one of his suits to his wedding because he couldn't afford to buy a new one.

A year ago, the man of the cloth told Briefly News that in 2007, he was involved in a road accident along Kamiti road, severely injuring his legs. He disclosed after the accident, his wife eloped with another man.

"I was rushed at Kenyyatta National Hospital and my wife came to visit me on that day. She took the R2 827 I had and never returned again," the man of the cloth recalled.

Israel disclosed no one visited him for almost a year when he was in the hospital.

"Whenever I called my wife, her new man she eloped with would pick and tell me to stop calling them. One day he told me 'kufa pole pole (die in peace)'" he said.

After leaving the hospital, Israel, the founder of Souls Winning, Healing and Restoration Ministry, said he went back to the house where he lived with his family only to find another tenant had occupied it.
