TAKEAWAYS

• Doctors cleared Pastor Irene Manjeri, saying her collapse was caused by exhaustion and not any medical condition.
• She condemned public feuds among pastors, urging church leaders to use media to spread the Gospel instead of attacking one another.
• The preacher also opened up about her lifestyle, generosity with luxury cars, and shared supportive remarks about Pastor Isaac Rwomushana.

Pastor Irene Manjeri has finally addressed the concerns surrounding her recent collapse while preaching, insisting that she is in good health and that the incident was caused by extreme fatigue rather than any underlying medical condition.

Speaking during an interview, the renowned born-again preacher explained that she had just returned from extensive ministry trips to Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States before immediately organizing a massive crusade in Mayuge. As the lead pastor, she found herself overseeing nearly every aspect of the event, leaving her physically exhausted.

Medical examinations later ruled out any serious health complications, including heart-related problems, giving her reassurance that rest was all she needed.

“Doctors told me I have no heart problem or any other illness. I had simply become too tired after months of ministry and organizing crusades.”

Manjeri also weighed in on the growing trend of public disputes between pastors on television, radio, and social media. She maintained that she has never participated in such battles and has no intention of doing so, arguing that media platforms should be used to spread the Gospel rather than attack fellow ministers.

While she acknowledged that disagreements exist, she suggested that close associates and followers often fuel unnecessary conflicts instead of promoting reconciliation.

“God gave us these media platforms to preach the Gospel, not to fight one another. I believe in mediation, not public battles.”

Beyond ministry, Manjeri offered a glimpse into her personal lifestyle. She revealed that she spends more than Shs1.3 million every month on makeup, which her daughter—who lives in the United States—ships from the U.S. and Dubai. She added that while her clothing is expensive, she considers it ordinary fashion.

The pastor also addressed reports about her recently acquired Range Rover, clarifying that she did not purchase it herself but received it through a sale arrangement. She said she is considering giving it away, noting that she has previously donated Mercedes-Benzes, Range Rovers and Land Cruisers because she believes generosity brings greater blessings.

On the viral sermons of Pastor Isaac Rwomushana, Manjeri said many people misunderstand his teachings on tithing. Although she has not watched many of his sermons, she described him as a young preacher with potential and expressed hope that he would continue to grow in ministry, adding that she would one day be happy to invite him to preach at her church.
