Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has sounded an alarm on what she terms as an attack to the family unit in Kenya.
Speaking during a prayer meeting organized by Tuombeni Kenya on Monday April 15, Pastor Dorcas expressed deep concern over the erosion of family values, attributing this to the growing acceptance of same-sex marriages.
She emphasized the critical need to uphold traditional family structures and values, denouncing the societal shift towards non-traditional unions.
“Family is an institution that was initiated by God himself, God in heaven sat there and he desired a family. God who did not need anyone, he needed a family that would worship him. And so, he created a great garden and put the family.”

“Marriages are no longer an issue, you have seen many people coming with all those philosophies of men marrying men, and women marrying women, and this we must say no to. The counsel of God shall stand,” she said.
Additionally, she underscored the gravity of sexual sin in the eyes of God, warning against complacency in the face of moral decay.
“Anyone who wants to destroy a society and a nation you go that route where the philosophies of the new generation are taking us.”
“It is not the time for us to play around, God hates sexual sin. If there is anything that makes God destroy a people is sexual immorality. If we condone it, this God will not spare us no matter how good we think we are,” she added.
