Controversial preacher Pastor Victor Kanyari is trending online after videos showed him asking Marion Naipei to perform a 360-degree spin during a church service.

The clips quickly went viral, triggering widespread discussions on social media.

Opinions are sharply divided between those praising his unconventional worship style and those questioning its appropriateness in a religious setting.

“God wants us to celebrate Him with our bodies,” Pastor Kanyari encouraged Marion to complete a full turn.

Church members responded with laughter, applause, and excitement, creating a lively atmosphere.

Social Media Reacts

“So 360… where did this Kanyari come from?” one user wrote.

“Are you trying to make God return early? Surely, you have angered Him enough now,” another added.

Supporters praised the preacher’s methods, with one noting, “It’s refreshing to see a pastor encourage freedom of expression in church. Worship should connect with people emotionally, and this does that.”

Critics argued that church services should focus on preaching, prayer, and scripture rather than choreographed stunts.

Many comments debated the boundaries of modern worship practices and the role of expressive acts during services.

In her response online, Marion Naipei described the moment as both nerve-wracking and exhilarating.

“At first, I hesitated because I didn’t know how people would react. But Pastor Kanyari encouraged me, and performing the spin felt liberating,” she said.

Pastor Kanyari Defends His Style

Pastor Kanyari defended his approach when asked about the viral moment.

“God created us to celebrate Him in all forms. If a 360-degree spin helps someone connect with Him, why not?” he said.
