The Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, led by the controversial Prophet Dr. David Owuor, has addressed the widespread rumours about the world coming to an end on August 2, 2025.
This comes following reports that Prophet Owuor had predicted a “doomsday”, with the news of the supposed world-ending event going viral across social media platforms in Kenya.
However, the leadership and congregation of the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, in an official statement released on Friday, August 1, 2025, strongly condemned the circulation of misleading information.
The church emphasized that Prophet Owuor has consistently made it clear that no one knows the exact day or hour of the Messiah’s return, referencing Matthew 24:36, which states, “Nobody knows the day or the hour when the Messiah will return.”

The statement further explained that the false reports were intended not only to harm the ministry’s public image but also to undermine its unity and the testimony of the church.
Prophet Owuor’s church went on to remind the public that it had previously addressed such matters in a statement issued on July 13, 2025, and had made appearances on major media outlets to further clarify its stance.

According to the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, these claims are “completely false, baseless, and malicious, designed to undermine both the church’s reputation and the integrity of Prophet Dr. Owuor”.
“We urge all media houses, bloggers, content creators, all social media users, and the general public to refrain from sharing or entertaining unverified allegations. As believers, we are called to pursue truth, peace, and righteousness. Let us not be quick to spread gossip, but instead be diligent in prayer, discernment and unity,” the church said.
The doomsday reports sparked widespread reactions, with Kenyans on social media platforms sharing their thoughts while a section reacted with humorous quips and memes about the situation.
Dr. David Edward Owuor, a self-proclaimed prophet, is one of Kenya’s most prominent religious figures. Born in 1966 in Goma Village, Bondo, Owuor rose from humble beginnings to become the founder of the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness in 2004.
Many of his followers believe he possesses supernatural powers, a claim that has fueled his influence and sparked debates across the nation.

Before stepping into the public eye as a religious leader, Owuor led a quiet life as a scientist. His life, however,took a dramatic turn in the early 2000s when he began evangelism.
He started out as a door-to-door preacher in Nakuru and built his ministry from the ground up. His sermons were fiery, always ending with a call for repentance.
By 2004, he had formally established the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, which would go on to become one of Kenya’s most recognizable religious movements.
His followers view him as a prophet and miracle worker, while sceptics question his claims of divine encounters and supernatural abilities.

True Prophet of Yahweh.
The Bible verse stating “no one knows the day or the hour” is Matthew 24:36. It reads, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,” according to the New International Version of the Bible. This verse emphasizes that the timing of Jesus’s return is known only to God the Father, and not even to Jesus himself in his human form or to the angels.
The verse is part of a larger passage in Matthew 24, where Jesus discusses the signs of the end times and the need for believers to be watchful and prepared for his return. Other verses in the same chapter, like Matthew 24:42, reinforce this idea of unexpectedness: “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come”. The message is clear: believers should live with a constant awareness of Jesus’s return and not try to predict the exact time.
