Controversial preacher, pastor Paul Sanyangore has claimed that if Zimbabwean tabloids had been around during times of Jesus Christ, he would be making headlines daily.
With all the negative publicity attached to his work, Sanyangore said he was not bothered with critics saying Jesus was also controversial.
"I'm not bothered by people calling e controversial because the Lord I preach, Jesus i believe in and the Bible has many controversies.
"I believe it is the times we are preaching that I have such a tag.
"Imagine if there was H-Metro during the times of Jesus, he would have been on the front page daily. His birth alone was controversial, coming out of a virgin.
"He (Jesus) was seen getting into Zachaeus's house, a well-known thief, talking to the woman of Samaria, a harlot, all controversial, walking on water. So l'm not bothered because the Lord I preach encountered all that".
