Paul Nthenge Mackenzie was the pastor of the Good News International Church in Kenya, a "Message" church based upon the teachings of William Branham. Mackenzie "brainwashed" his converts[1] using William Branham's End of Days theology, and convinced them that starvation could hasten their escape from this life to be with Jesus.
Quote:
In the cult, people were allegedly encouraged to fast to death to make it to heaven. The controversial Malindi preacher Paul Mackenzie of Good News International has been preaching to his followers to fast and pray for several days and eventually, a number of them have died due to hunger.[2]

According to detectives in the homicide unit in Kenya, the cult began forming mass graves for victims who starved themselves to death under Mackenzie's instructions. On April 19, 2023, detectives found one person buried alive in a grave, and an informant told them there were other graves containing as many as 31 bodies.[3] Police found 15 emaciated parishioners on church grounds, four of which died after the group was taken to the hospital.[4] In all, twelve shallow graves were discovered in Kilifi County.[5]
Quote:
Police officials said investigators received a tip that dozens of people were starving to death after their pastor told them it was a way to meet Jesus. Most of the followers could not walk or talk when officers found them.The pastor of Good News International Church, Paul Makenzi, surrendered Friday to police in the town of Malindi.[6]
