Neno evangelist Pastor James Ng’ang’a is selling his well-known property, the Newstead Hotel, formerly known as the Sunny Hill Hotel, on Nakuru-Nairobi Road.
The televangelist is desperate for funds to expand his ministry in America and is selling the hotel for Sh800 million, subject to negotiation.
The hotel opened in June 2016, with several influential leaders in attendance.
In an exclusive interview with a local media, the founder of Neno Evangelism Centre revealed that his mission is to save lost souls. He intends to build a church in the United States of America, which would cost Sh600 million.
“That is why I am selling the hotel so that I can get enough money to finance the project,” he said.
Pastor Ng’ang’a is asking Sh800 million for the hotel, which he says is negotiable.
He also stated that he intends to relocate his family to the United States as his wife, Mercy Murugi, recently gave birth there.
Their first child was born in the state of South Carolina. As a result, the child was born an American citizen.
“That is why I have been visiting America many times, to prepare the ground. My wife has been in America since she recently gave birth,” he said.
The hotel, he added was an ideal location for outings, family reunions and business conferences, with facilities including a large open-air playground, a high-quality swimming pool and ample parking.
Pastor Ng’ang’a is known for attracting a large following to his church in Nairobi. A few years ago, he announced his intention to build a new city called Jerusalem City on 50 acres of land he bought three years ago in Kajiado County.
“I already have 70 children attending school from grades 1 to 4. I also give them food, uniforms and shoes,” he said.
The hotel located about 10 kilometres from Naivasha Town offers executive, deluxe single, basic double, and basic single rooms.
The reception area is decorated with antique African artifacts including elephant paintings and cheetah print seats.
Some of the activities around Naivasha for guests at the hotel include visiting Hell’s Gate, Lake Nakuru, Crescent Island, Malewa Wildlife Lodge, Mt Longonot, etc.
