The emotional moment was witnessed by church members, who described how the pastor spent several minutes struggling to speak before revealing the news.
He explained that, despite the temptation to abort the baby to avoid public shame, he chose to announce the pregnancy to “shame the devil.”
The pastor’s distress continued after the announcement, prompting other ministers to lead him from the pulpit.
Congregants reportedly responded with a standing ovation, expressing support for the pastor’s courage and transparency.
A church member shared the account on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, via the handle @Adasu_d_gr8, praising the congregation’s response and noting that the moment demonstrated a renewed sense of love and unity within the church.
