“I’m no longer a pastor, you can take the church” – Pastor quits after winning GHC500k through sports betting

A Ugandan pastor has given up on the running of the church after winning over GH¢500,000 through sports betting.

According to local media, he shut down the building and left his congregation members stranded when they arrived for midweek services after realizing that he was now 100 million shillings richer.

When visitors from the church discovered the gate was closed, they were startled and unsure of what to do.

When the pastor was approached, he acknowledged that his decision to work in God’s vineyard was only motivated by the need for financial support and not because he felt called.
