Pastor Dorcas Rigathi on Monday decried the rise of divorce and separation among families in the country during a prayer meeting in Nairobi.
First Lady Rachel Ruto, along with other church leaders from across denominations, attended the meeting organized by Tuombeni Kenya.
She condemned same-sex marriages, terming them as a threat to family values.
“Today, families are under attack and family values are no longer esteemed. Families have no honour anymore. We have new generation philosophies of men marrying men, and women marrying women, and this we must say no to. The counsel of God shall stand,” she said.
She decried the rise in divorce and separation cases and led the gathering in praying for families and against sexual immorality.

“It is not the time for us to play around, God hates sexual sin. If there is anything that makes God destroy a people is sexual immorality. If we condone it, God will not spare us no matter how good we think we are,” she said.
Further, the spouse of the Deputy President urged the church leaders to open their churches for the restoration of the boy child who is living in the streets and lost in alcohol and drug abuse.
“Conflicts are killing the boy child across Africa. There are also illicit brews, drugs and alcohol, and our sons have died. Africa and Kenya have a huge widow burden. Let us open our churches for the boy child to feed, clean and clothe them,” said Pastor Dorcas.
She expressed her concern about the high number of widows in the country, which underscored the high deaths of the men.
She observed the trend during various widows and orphans meetings she has held in different parts of the country, including Laikipia, Kilifi, Embu, and Meru.
