INAPPROPRIATE SERMONS BY DR MASOCHA AT COUPLES CONFERENCES
Warning: Read at own discretion, some readers may find article disturbing.
In September 2011 at Manchester, was the first ever Agape Couples Conference attended by over 50 couples. The Couples Conferences are arranged and organised by Board Member Gayakaya who left his wife for another woman. At this first ever conference, Dr Masocha came in full force. He tickled every couple's ears with his shocking vulgar jokes and somehow took off his jacket of eloquence and became the male version of Zimbabwean well known controversial sex teacher Mai Gunguwo. The often charismatic speaker started the conference by sharing a very disturbing joke about a woman who was brutally raped by a police officer who fancied her. The joke was brutal and disturbing. How an Archbishop can find it okay to joke about the rape of women is just beyond me. Not only did he tell the crude joke, he went as far as to demonstrate how the man was raping the woman and he even said it was based on a true story. I looked around me and saw everyone laughing, but deep down I was deeply disturbed and uncomfortable so much I asked my husband later if I had missed something. I was more disturbed because he said it was a true sorry, but my husband reassured me and said DR Masocha was just saying that, but obviously it was not a true story.
As if the "rape" joke was bad enough, Dr Masocha later on in the evening as couples were having dinner sitting at round tables, delivered the sermon of the Day he titled, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD. As I mentioned couples were sitting at round tables, meaning everyone was looking at each other. Dr Masocha then taught that most couples did not use each other's bodies as they should, and he wanted couples to have each other, but more so to hold each other literally. Again as he had demonstrated the rape joke before, he then thought it was appropriate to tell his congregants to demonstrate to each other how to have and to hold each other. Readers I know this sounds unbeliavabnle, but I am not lying. I wish I was. Please note Agape is a church/cult full of family members, uncles, aunties, mothers, fathers, sisters, daughters congregating together. As you know for instance my husband's family all go to Agape, except his older brother and his ex Agaped wife.(When she left Agape after some incidents she ripped all the Agape Books and binned then, which resulted in Pastor Gertrude branding her demonic and possessed so much she phoned the whole the community calling for prayer for her sister-in-law) Anyway back to the Couples Conference. Now in such a setting, with some family members sitting together, Dr Masocha had the guts to ask every husband to turn to his wife and start touching and stroking their wife's breast in full view of everyone. He even told the husbands the hand to use, if I remember correctly it was the right hand. I remember my husband's sister Patricia was sitting opposite us with her husband, it was so embarrassing and my husband could only look away. Husbands started touching their wives breasts, as other couples looked on, cringe.
Now please brace yourself for this one, it got more explicit than that, Dr Masocha then asked the wives to; in front of everyone go into their husbands trousers and do the did. I am sorry readers, what happened next is too explicit to write down, I couldn't possibly, but the whole atmosphere was transformed into LIVE church pornography as Dr Masocha looked on and smiled. A number of couples visibly looked shocked and embarrassed, reluctant to perform acts reserved only for man and wife in the privacy of their bedrooms, but Dr Masocha would pick on them and encourage them not to be ashamed and get on with it. The whole porn session was recorded on video by registered sex offender Maxwell Nyakutya, who will have copies of the DVD as he is the head of Agape Media. The DVD was not to be sold to congregants as we were told it was only for Dr Masocha's private files. What he wanted to do with the explicit adult DVD, only God knows.
Furthermore, Dr Masocha last year at Couples Conference in October 2012 decided to teach women how to clean themselves on certain body parts that I cant mention, and went as far as to share how he was proud his stepdaughters were "clean girls" and he even knew both of them used certain feminine hygiene products for personal care. He also instructed husbands and wives to "testify" in front of the whole church what they did in their bedrooms the previous night. To be honest when I was in Agape, what happened at Couples Conferences always felt wrong, but I was caught up in the frenzy and was convinced it was the anointing which was on Dr Masocha that allowed him do and teach things that were considered abnormal and inappropriate. I was compelled to write about this because as unbelievable as it sounds, it has to be told. The word of God says works of darkness has to be exposed so that the whole world can see that their works are evil. This is the fruit of Agape. You decide whether it is good or bad fruit. If there is nothing to be ashamed of, then Dr Masocha and his children should be openly proud of the annual Couples Conferences and what really goes on there.
With that I leave you with an anonymous comment posted today on this blog. Some readers who have been through the same ordeal as mine and many other women may find comfort in reading this comment. In the mean time Dr Masocha has left the country and is currently in UGANDA.
ANONYMOUS COMMENT
Others may find this useful. My family has started the healing process following the sexual abuse she went through from walter masocha. Here is the response I received from NSPCC:
Thank you for your email that we have received today, 01.11.13. I am very sorry to hear that your wife has been subject to traumatic abuse.
There are two aspects of the situation that I would like to advise you on; firstly how you can report the abuse and secondly how you and your wife can access support.
I would strongly advise that the matter is referred to the Police for further investigation. I appreciate that your family may feel scared to do this however I am concerned that given the man’s position he may be continuing to abuse other children as well as posing a risk to your own family. You can contact the Police directly by going into a local Police station or telephoning their non-emergency telephone number 101.
Alternatively, the NSPCC can share the information with the Police and they would contact you to follow up with their enquiries. In order to do so, we would need the following information:
· The name, age, ethnic origin and address of the abuser.
· The details for the Church that he is leader of.
· Details for your wife and yourself, including names, dates of birth, ethnic origin, address and contact telephone number.
· Details of any other people who you are aware have been abused by this man.
· Details of any other children this man is in contact with. Does he have children of his own?
Understandably you may not know all this information; however, it would be of great assistance if you could forward as much detail as possible; you may find this easier to do by telephoning the NSPCC Helpline on our 24 hour free phone number 0808 800 5000 or you can reply to this email.
There are a number of organisations that can support your wife and family in managing emotionally with the abuse:
- NAPAC (National Association of People Abused in Childhood) offer support and advice to adult survivors of any type of abuse via their Helpline 0800 085 3330 or www.napac.org.uk
- Rape Crisis provide information, support and counselling for victims of rape and sexual violence. You can contact them on 0808 802 9999 or www.rapecrisis.org.uk
- Relate offer counselling, mediation and advice on family relationships. You can contact them on 0300 100 1234 or www.relate.org.uk
- Your G.P. will also be able to advise on what NHS service are available to you in your local area.
I hope that you find this information useful, please do not hesitate to contact us with the identifying information about the man or with any other queries. If you ever believe a child to be at immediate risk of harm please contact the Police on 999.
Kind Regards
Lise McLean
