Gabola Church of International Ministries has gone viral on social media because of its unorthodox method of service.
It has given all of its church members the freedom of drinking alcohol during the church service according to Standard Digital. The church is also said to use beer of their choice to baptize their beloved church members.
The church was founded three years ago by 52-year-old Bishop Tsietsi Makiti in South Africa.
Their devotion starts at 11 am and lasts till 3 pm. The church depends more on its members to sell alcohol and donate to the church as it doesn’t have donors who can support them financially.
The freedom and appreciation it gives to its members has made the church grow bigger than expected.
The church has its own rules governed by the bishop that is always open to all people.
He stated clearly that for you to qualify to be a church member, you only need to consume any kind of alcohol. The bishop also came out clear by referring to what Jesus once did in the bible.
He said that ‘’people didn’t know what to do for fun, but when Jesus changed water into wine he prayed for it to stimulate their bodies’’.
He also defends his church by saying that the church has helped a lot in reducing the crime rate in the country as drunk people are now happy because they are appreciated.
