Rev Lucy Natasha’s South Sudan church launch came just weeks after she wrapped up the physical spot in Nairobi, showing the popular preacher isn’t slowing down one bit as she plants fresh roots across the border. The beautiful reverend, who is known for her daring style and huge fan base, led the opening of Empowerment Christian Church in Gudele, Juba. It was a huge celebration of faith and new beginnings.
It all happened on a lovely Sunday in late January, when the Jubek Secondary School grounds were full of people. Natasha came in style, and as she walked onto the stage to deliver prayers and speeches, people cheered and took pictures. Videos from the day show her in flowing robes, raising hands high while declaring peace and hope over the young nation.
“South Sudan, we speak wisdom and a new chapter,” she said in one clip that’s gone viral, drawing amens from the audience. Local pastor Rina Ndogo heads the branch, but Natasha made it clear this is her ministry expanding, not just a visit.
The timing raised eyebrows back home. Nairobi’s Empowerment Christian Church at Biashara Plaza shut its doors in mid-January after a five-year lease ran out. Natasha explained it calmly in her posts – venue issues forced the change, but services kept going strong online. “The church is not closed; it’s on a God-ordained transition,” she told followers, urging them to join virtual meets.
Rumours flew about money troubles or bigger drama, but she brushed them off, saying it’s all part of growth. Some fans were sad to hear the news because they enjoyed seeing her in person and hearing her enthusiastic lectures. Others were pleased that the digital transition will reach more people.
Going to South Sudan seems like a risky move. The country is still recuperating from years of war and needs messages of hope and unity. Natasha’s visit included stops to help orphans in Rajaf, where she shared food and words of encouragement. Pictures show her laughing and surrounded by kids as she gives them gifts with her Natasha Hands of Compassion arm.
She added, “Thankful for the warm welcome,” and called the vacation a “miracle season”. People in Juba came out in large numbers, filling seats and pouring out into the street, ready to hear her prophetic style that mixes gospel with beauty.
Natasha has made a name for herself by combining faith with glitz. She preaches prosperity while showing off her expensive automobiles, fancy clothes, and private aircraft. Some people feel it’s ostentatious, whereas advocates say it motivates people and shows that God favours courageous Christians.
Her move south creates opportunities in a sector that requires strong leaders. The religious scene in South Sudan is growing quickly, with well-known figures luring throngs looking for hope in tough times. Natasha fits right in and promises to visit regularly and work with others to make the branch strong.
Back in Kenya, reactions mix pride and questions. Posts on social media praise her for spreading the word beyond borders – “From Nairobi rooftops to Juba grounds, Oracle on fire!” one fan wrote. Others wonder about the Nairobi closure’s real story, with gossip pages digging for dirt on rent hikes or low turnout. She kept above it and focused on the launch, which had live streaming that drew viewers from both countries.
This change starts a new chapter in Natasha’s ministry. Empowerment Christian Church began modestly in Nairobi, but it gained a lot thanks to TV ads and social media. Kenyan Christians keep the fire burning by going online, while the Juba branch spreads seeds in new soil. She hinted at more expansions by posting about “global access”, which got people thinking about where she might go next.
People who support the services now communicate, pray, and share their stories online. People in Juba believe that her arrival gave brightness to dark days, and the new spot is full of activity. Natasha intends to keep preaching on many platforms, mixing online and in-person to reach more people.
People in Kenya’s gospel scene are watching closely. She is a pastor who thrives on making huge steps and converting problems into successes. The debut in South Sudan shows that she’s not going away; she’s simply getting bigger. Fans are excited for her next sermon, which may be broadcast from home or yelled in Juba halls.
Natasha’s narrative draws people in: faith that goes from rags to riches, scandals that are ignored, and always rebounding higher. This chapter adds a global touch, illustrating that her reach has no bounds. As services begin in both venues, one thing is clear: the reverend’s voice is louder than ever.
