"A truthful witness saves life, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful" (Proverbs 14:25) By Pastor Abunerry Ayella. 3-2-2026 Torit When I wrote an article called "Juba, Be Careful of Rev. Dr Natasha's Church", I wanted to warn my fellow citizens about how Lucy Natasha uses her church to exploit and manipulate people. It breaks my heart that Jubans still do not listen to people who warn them about false prophets who dress like sheep and carry microphones, perfumes, and mobile money accounts. By many accounts, Lucy Natasha’s past in Kenya was riddled with controversy, financial debts, and accusations of religious deception. Kenyans described her as a spiritual entrepreneur who converted desperation into capital and prayer into profit. The Kenyan Gen Z joked that her spiritual ambition exceeded her financial capacity, an irony for a prophetess of prosperity. Her ministry has been associated with glamour, luxury, and celebrity pastor culture. Whether one calls ...

By Pastor Abunerry, Ayella. 2-2-2026 Torit When a cleric wears a collar, they may feel divinely immeasurable. They usurp authority as if they are next to Jesus in line. As a result, they tend to overlook their colleagues who do not wear collars. Yet the very colleagues they overlook often outperform them in many areas. Although some of these clerics adorn themselves with cassocks and collars, or gowns, they do not know what transpired or when the collar was invented. This article briefly recounts the origin of the collar and its purpose, which is not biblical but rather a distinctive attire meant to distinguish clerics from laypeople. In 1867, Rev.

Before that, Reformed pastors wore a scarf called a cravat , which was the precursor to the modern collar. The purpose of the collar was simply t...

By Pastor Abunerry Ayella. 1-2-2026 Torit Between 2015 and 2017, I wrote to and advised one of my OBs and close friends to stop praising and following Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, warning that he was not a genuine prophet. My friend dismissed my concerns, called me names, and unfriended me. Years later, Bushiri’s story unfolded publicly: he was wanted in South Africa to answer allegations of money laundering and sexual misconduct, and he fled back to Malawi, where he continues to exploit unsuspecting followers. Sadly, many South Sudanese have not learned from such incidents, even when the realities are well known. Today, Rev. Dr Lucy Natasha launched her ministry in Juba, with the Deputy Governor of Central Equatoria State as the guest speaker. One must ask: Does the Deputy Governor know about the controversies surrounding her ministry in Kenya? Not long ago, Rev. Natasha reportedly closed her sanctuary in Kenya due to financial challenges and announced that services would be conducted ...
