Speaking during the launch on Sunday, May 19, Ezekiel said that the business centre will create employment opportunities to empower residents.

“This was all bushy when we came here. We thought of an initiative that will boost the economy of this area and the people who come here and the locals,” said Pastor Ezekiel.

New Life Church sits on a 60-acre plot along the Mavueni-Kaloleni road. It boasts an International School and a business centre dubbed Eden Business Centre.

Which businesses are housed at Pastor Ezekiel's new hub?

According to KNA, the Eden Business Centre hosts a service centre, restaurant, and supermarket.

There is an eight-pump New Life Energies petrol station, butchery, an executive salon and barbershop, and 14-bed hotel accommodation owned by New Life Centre.

Pastor Ezekiel explained that the church plays a pivotal role not only for worshipers but also in the nation's economic growth.

The televangelist revealed that the business hub has been built using proceeds from the church, adding that the profit realised from it will be ploughed back into the community to deal with emergencies resulting from natural disasters like floods and drought.

Pastor Pius Muiru of the Maximum Miracle Centre appealed to Kenyans to change their attitudes towards church investment, stating that the Eden Business Centre will employ many people who will pay taxes for the country's development.

“When you start something, push on with it even when there are hurdles. Fight knowing that God is the one who will facilitate that vision,” said Muiru.

Will Finance Bill 2024 tax proposals affect business?

The duo shared their sentiments about tax proposals in the Finance Bill 2024 and how they might affect the business environment.

They urged President William Ruto's administration to listen to Kenyans and make the necessary adjustments in the Bill.

Pastor Ezekiel acknowledged the fact that the country's economy is badly hit.

"The country's economy is experiencing difficulties, and as the president said, let us tighten our belts for some time, and we will enjoy it later.
“However, Kenyans wish for a favourable and affordable tax regime. Our prayer is that the government should be considerate in its decision for the benefit of the public,” said Pastor Ezekiel.

What are Pastor Ezekiel's other businesses?

In February 2024, the evangelist opened a 160-bed capacity Jordan Wing hotel, divided into five wings.

According to Pulselive, the facility provides hospitality and accommodation to New Life church members and guests.

The hotel compliments Eden Hotel, currently at the Eden Business Centre.

In March 2024, Pastor Ezekiel proudly unveiled his new petrol station, New Life Energies, to enter the oil marketing business.
