| A Collage Photo of Father Michael Watenga at Timber XO |
Father Michael Watenga popularly known as Padre Michael Watenga, has made headlines in Eldoret after appearing at Timba XO, a popular nightclub.
In a video that’s gone viral, he walks into the club at night, is introduced to a cheering crowd, and delivers a message to revelers.
Watenga is an Anglican priest in the Diocese of Kitale. What’s striking is how he blends his pastoral mission with modern youth culture.
Rather than preaching only in church, he intentionally steps into nightlife spaces — clubs and bars — to reach people who may never attend traditional services.
In the Timba XO appearance, he treats the platform as a pulpit: he’s introduced by a host, greeted with applause, and then speaks.
Videos show him addressing the crowd with conviction, and people listening attentively. According to his social‑media presence, this isn’t a one-off — he sees it as part of his calling.
One post describes him as “a man of God on a mission to reach out to those who have strayed from the faith.” His approach reflects a willingness to leave the pulpit for unconventional venues, believing that gospel can be shared wherever people are.
The night at Timba XO turns a nightclub into a stage for ministry. With his bold style, Padre Michael seems determined to bridge the divide between faith and the everyday lives of young Kenyans — even in places where faith is not typically expected.
