Can a church exist exclusively on the internet?
Update: 2024-08-01
Description
Amid a life of upheaval and poverty, Jeffter Wekesa tried and failed to found three churches in Kenya. Then he started preaching on TikTok, and his fortunes changed.
In this episode, Rest of World takes you inside the emerging virtual-preaching economy in internet-obsessed Kenya. Livestream churches — backed by viewer donations — are increasingly popular. Is this the future of religion, or just a post-Covid fad?
Written by Vincent Owino. Narrated by Jane Seidel.
