Hundreds troop to home where preacher Owuor ‘resurrected’ woman – PHOTOS


Hundreds of people are trooping to a village in West Pokot County following claims that a woman resurrected after being prayed for by the renowned but controversial Prophet David Owuor.

Residents of Cheparten village in Pokot South Sub-County were joined by hundreds who headed to the home of the woman identified as Mama Rosa who was said to have died on Thursday at around 1am.

However, without any evidence, it is claimed that she came back to life two hours later following the intervention of Prophet Owuor of the Repentance and Holiness Church.

Word went round quickly about the “miracle” and by Friday morning, the Nation saw hundreds of people and a long convoy of vehicles heading to the remote village.

Most of those converging at the home worship at the Church.

Nearby schools were also temporarily closed as learners rushed to the home.

The Prophet did not attend the thanksgiving ceremony on Friday, but was represented by a number of bishops from the church who confirmed that he had indeed prayed for the woman’s resurrection.

Mama Rosa’s husband Samson Rotirakori said he believed that his wife had died for about two hours and that she regained life after he sought prayers from the prophet.

“My wife fell very sick on Wednesday. She became very weak and collapsed. By midnight, her situation had worsened and she was unable to walk and experienced a lot of difficulty in breathing. I called a senior pastor asking him to request a prayer from Prophet Owuor and immediately after the phone call Rosa stopped breathing and stretched out her hands and legs,” he said during the thanksgiving ceremony.

Her daughter, Irvine Chesang, who also spoke during the ceremony, said immediately she stopped breathing she screamed alerting their neighbours who turned out to see what was happening.

The husband said at 12:51 am, he received a text message from Prophet Owuor saying “it is well.”

He said two hours later Rosa suddenly begun coughing and sneezing, then asked “who has brought me back.”

Dr Zachary Kasepoi, a Senior Deputy Director of Medical services in Kenya, who is also a Presiding Bishop in West Pokot said there is nowhere in the world doctors could bring back to life a dead body but he also believes Prophet Owuor raised mama Rosa from death.

Speaking to the press, after the thanksgiving ceremony Rosa said she believed she died and resurrected and advised Kenyans to repent for their iniquities.
