Church in Kenya. [Photo/File]Efforts by church elder at Tumaini SDA church in Komarocks estate to plead with members to help raise money for the provision of food in the marriage solemnising ceremony of four elderly members fell in deaf ears as the believer resisted the pleas.The amount targeted in the fund's drive was Sh27,000 for the ceremony that is scheduled for December 2."It is our tradition that the church always buys presents from the bride and groom but this member who are set for marriage requested that instead of buying the presents you just help them by bearing the cost of the food to be consumed on their big-day," said Elder Kariuki. However, when the deacons and deaconesses moved around to collect the money they only manage to realise Sh1,025.
