New Life Church Prayer Center founder Pastor Ezekiel Odero donated Ksh14.6 million (USD100,000) during Pastor Benny Hinn's fundraiser at Nyayo Stadium on Monday.
Hinn, who held a groundbreaking crusade from Saturday to Sunday this week, embarked on a fundraising drive to help the prayer rally's organiser foot the bill that was short of USD100,000.
The Israeli-born televangelist then invited well-wishers to donate towards the course explaining that whereas he was not expected to foot the bill, he would be disturbed leaving the organisers stranded.
A pastor from China was the first to donate Ksh2 million (USD14,000).
Midway through the service, Pastor Ezekiel Odero sent his representative to the stage to inform Benny Hinn that he would donate Ksh14.6 million.
"I have good news for you, Apostle Ezekiel from Kenya, the people of Kenya know him very well. He has said that the man of God should be left to pray for the anointing of Kenya. He is going to postpone his programme and tomorrow he is sending in USD100,000 (Ksh14.6 million)," stated the representative.
"Gob bless that dear man. I can tell you I did not want to go back to the United States knowing that this man and the committee had a burden. I wanted to make sure the burden is lifted because I have fallen in love again with the people of Kenya," Hinn reacted.
Among notable leaders who attended the Benny Hinn crusade were President William Ruto, his wife Rachel and his daughter Charlene.
Both the Head of State and his wife Rachel were prayed for with Charlene requesting Hinn to commit her desire to find a good husband to the Lord.
The first daughter stumbled and fell to the ground, with Hinn proclaiming that she was touched by the Spirit of the Lord.
He also revealed that God had instructed him to circle her seven times while praying for her desire.
After the seventh time, the celebrated evangelist requested persons on the stage to help Charlene stand and confess the revelation she had received.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka also attended the crusade.
Earlier, a video of Hinn pushing Pastor Ezekiel to fall during prayers elicited mixed reactions. Ezekiel, while explaining the incident, stated that he was grateful to have attended the crusade where he sought to tap into Hinn's anointing.
Conversely, Pastor James Ng'ang'a of the Neno Evangelism Centre condemned organisers for failing to recognise him at the rally. Ng'ang'a also criticised Kenyan faithful claiming that they welcome foreign pastors with open arms but cannot acknowledge him as a local prophet.
