Kanyari recalls his mbegu ya Ksh310 that lasted 4 years
By Valerian Khakayi, January 15, 2026The Salvation Healing Ministry church founder, Prophet Victor Kanyari, has recalled his famous ‘mbegu ya Ksh310′ prayer sermon, which he says lasted four years and played a pivotal role in his ministry.
Kanyari, in a candid interview with a local YouTuber in an episode aired on Thursday, January 15, 2026, explained that the Ksh310 his followers contributed to be prayed for was never for personal use.
He says he invested the funds into profitable businesses, which he is now using in charitable activities.
“Kila siku napeana chakula kwa watu wazee na mimi nasemanga sifichangi pesa yangu kule ilitoka ilitoka kwa 310, ile pesa nilipewa na watu panda mbengu ya mia tatu na kumi,” Kanyari said.
“Hiyo pesa ndio nili invest nikafanya nayo mabiashara na kazi sasa hiyo pesa ndio sahi napea wamama wazee unga na pia at the same time napeana chakula kila siku so ni pesa yao tu ndio nawarudishia ile walikuwa wananipea niliwaekea.”
The preacher added that while Ksh310 may seem small, when multiplied over days and months, it amounted to a substantial sum, adding that he used to make Ksh1 million daily.
“Ksh 310 ilikuwa mingi kwa sababu kwa siku haungekosa kama millioni moja, so you can imagine ata ukipata siku 30 hiyo ni Ksh 30 million, ilikuwa pesa mingi hiyo Ksh 310 niliiitisha miaka nne,” he revealed.
In addition, Kanyari emphasised that he always encouraged small contributions, even suggesting KSh30 for things like tea and mandazi, and that no one should be angry about giving small amounts, because collectively they can make a big impact.
“Ilikuwa unatoa pesa kidogo, shilingi mia tatu na kumi hakuna mtu anaweza kasirika, hata sahi nikasema watu watoe Ksh30 hiyo hawafai kunikasirikia nikama kuninunulia chai na mandazi lakini wako wengi,” Kanyari added.
310 idea
While preaching at his church in January 2024, Kanyari admitted that the ‘Mbegu ya 310’ initiative was not only about miracles but also a way to escape poverty.
“Mimi ndio nilikuwa mhubiri anaongea Nairobi, hakukua na mwingine. Kina Ezekiel na Ng’ang’a hawakuwa, mimi ndio nilikuwa naongea hii town. Lakini sikuwa na pesa, ndio maana nikaanza kuitisha Ksh310,” Kanyari confessed.
“Nikasema panda mbegu ya 310 na tusibishanebishane. Si kutaka kwangu, umaskini ulikuwa umenitandika sawasawa.”
However, he maintained that he still performed miracles, claiming to have healed people and lifted others out of poverty through prayer.
“Nikaanza kuitisha 310, my friend, lakini sikujua Mungu alinipatia akili na maarifa; pesa nitajitafutia. Mungu alinipa annointing, lakini haikuwa annointing ya pesa. Ilikuwa ya kuponya watu magonjwa,” he added.
The preacher rose to national fame through televised sermons and healing sessions, but his ministry came under fire following an investigative exposé that questioned the authenticity of his miracles and fundraising methods.
