Prepared to be... underwhelmed.
Shepherd Bushiri is a Malawian-born charismatic preacher and businessman who rose to fame in the early 2010s for his “prophetic” and “healing ministry.” He is the founder and leader of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church, which has branches across Africa and worldwide.
In 2015, Bushiri launched his own TV channel, Prophetic Channel, which broadcasts his sermons and teachings to millions of worldwide viewers. He has also written several books, including “Healing in His Wings” and “Prayer of Jehu.”
Bushiri epitomizes the worst excesses of the charismatic movement and prosperity gospel, fleecing the flock for filthy gain. One of the wealthiest ‘pastors’ in the world with an estimated $150M-$300M net income, he lives a lavish lifestyle surrounded by expensive cars, multiple private jets, and multiple luxurious homes. Famously, he bought his six-year-old daughter a $400,000 Maserati for her fourth birthday.
In 2019, he made headlines when he was arrested on fraud and money laundering charges in South Africa, where he had been living since 2015. In March 2021, South African Police charged Shepherd Bushiri with 16 counts of rape relating to 8 different victims, but he fled the country and sought asylum in Malawi, where he is currently living.
Despite his legal troubles and clear evidence of being huckster, Bushiri maintains a large following and continues attracting thousands of people to his church services and events. He routinely claims to perform unbelievable miracles, like healing the sick, raising the dead, and walking on air.
Last year, he provided evidence of his abilities, and to say the results were unconvincing would be an understatement.
Bushiri is a lost man, and a heretic, and the fact that he still maintains a massive following is an indictment on all parties involved.
