An evangelical pastor in Kenya is facing a manslaughter trial after ordering his followers to starve themselves and their children to death as a means to 'meet Jesus.' Witnesses, including a 9-year-old, have testified that the pastor commanded the congregation to shun education and medicine, leading to the deaths of hundreds. Survivors of this doomsday starvation cult are testifying against the pastor and 93 associates, who have pleaded not guilty. The pastor reportedly led his followers into the forest, where the tragic events unfolded. Additionally, the pastor took money from his followers, promising miracles.
