A Family's Commitment: Supporting a Spiritual Leader's Mission
In a heartwarming revelation, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua shared an inspiring story about his family's unwavering support for a spiritual cause. Gachagua and his sons have, for years, dedicated a significant portion of their earnings to Pastor Dorcas Gachagua's ministry, a commitment that has become an integral part of their family's routine.
The revelation came during a special event on November 15, 2025, where Pastor Dorcas was ordained as a Reverend. Gachagua's remarks shed light on the family's deep-rooted values and their dedication to supporting Pastor Dorcas' spiritual work.
"Our support for Dorcas is more than just a financial contribution; it's a reflection of our family's values and our commitment to her mission," Gachagua explained. "We've made it a priority to set aside 10% of our earnings to ensure her ministry thrives."
But here's where it gets controversial: Gachagua admitted that sometimes, this commitment feels like a financial obligation, as Pastor Dorcas frequently reminds them of their pledge. However, he quickly added that this light-hearted reminder has become a beloved family tradition, bringing a smile to everyone's face during the ceremony.
Gachagua described Pastor Dorcas as the heart and soul of their home, with their lives revolving around her and her important work. He highlighted her unwavering belief in family values and her dedication to serving those in need, especially the poor and vulnerable groups who rely on her ministry for support.
Reflecting on their time in office, Gachagua shared how their demanding schedules often kept them apart, with Pastor Dorcas fully immersed in her outreach programs and advocacy for the boy child. Despite the challenges, the family remained united in their support for her mission, understanding the impact she was making.
Gachagua expressed concern about the progress made during their time in office, particularly efforts to combat illicit brews and help young men break free from destructive habits. He believes that some of these gains are being reversed now that they no longer have access to national resources.
However, he assured everyone of their unwavering commitment to Pastor Dorcas' work, highlighting the sacrifices made during their campaign period, including selling personal property to finance political activities. Even in times of financial strain, the family ensured that Pastor Dorcas received the support she needed.
Gachagua emphasized that this pattern of support will continue, whether through personal income or proceeds from family property sales. They are dedicated to funding her programs for the boy child, widows, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.
"We believe in the power of her mission, and we're confident that her new role as a Reverend will amplify her reach and impact even further," Gachagua said.
