Will Lucy Natasha’s church reopen?
In an additional statement on Friday, January 14, the gospel pastor, known to many as Mother Oracle, shared more details about the church closing.
He revealed that the church will be closed permanently after their five-year contract on the roof of the Bishara Plaza building expires.
“This decision is strategic and forward-looking. As a ministry, we trust God to give us a permanent place, a land that will have a church, a television service, and a school. This step is about ownership, legacy, and long-term effects,” Natasha explained, explaining her plans to the ECC.
He assured his believers that the closure of the church will not disrupt worship, as services continue through online platforms.
“ECC is more than a building. Our services are fully online, and our digital church reaches more than 10 million people worldwide. Millions have been touched through our online services, and the impact continues. Our campaigns and philanthropic efforts continue, and our online services continue to be strong as we trust God for our own position,” he wrote.
Natasha also warned the public against false rumors about the closure of the church and encouraged her followers to remain united.
“To those who spread lies, I decide to forgive. To our sheep, ministry partners, and friends: let’s be united as we enter this new level. If God plans in your heart, you can partner with us as we move forward. This is the beginning of something greater,” he said.
