Isaac Otesa popularly known as Bungoma Goliath left congregants in shock after fainting during a prayer session led by Pastor Victor Kanyari at his church, last month.

Pastor Kanyari was praying and calling on the Holy Spirit to move mightily when Otesa started swaying before tumbling to the floor.

The congregation gasped as ushers and fellow worshippers rushed to check Otesa's well-being.  

Pastor Kanyari, known for his controversial deliverance services, was unfazed by the commotion.

The pastor believes that when those he prays for fall, it usually means the chains holding them back are broken.

The clergyman declared the intense moment a divine encounter as Goliath regained consciousness moments later.

While speaking with chief environment officer Geoffrey Mosiria, Isaac revealed that the fainting was all staged.

He shared that a friend identified as Kawira took him to the church and told him he would be paid if he fainted during prayers.

The father of three said he walked away with Ksh 8K after the incident.

Isaac Otesa, who gained national attention alongside another extremely tall Kenyan, Bradley Marongo, has not yet achieved the same level of fame or success. 

While Marongo has secured endorsement deals and become a public figure, Otesa has struggled to make a name for himself. 

Days ago he appealed for help and Geoffrey Mosiria helped him get a job as a bouncer in a club.
