Prophet David Owuor has once again come out strongly to defend his faith healing ministry, insisting that divine power through the blood of Jesus is capable of healing even the most serious medical conditions, including HIV and cancer.
Speaking to congregants on Sunday, January 4, in Nakuru, the controversial preacher brushed aside concerns raised by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC), which recently questioned the legitimacy of his healing claims.
Owuor maintained that faith remains a central pillar of his ministry, urging believers not to waver despite criticism from medical authorities.
He emphasized that spiritual healing, as taught in the Bible, has transformed the lives of many who came to his crusades with severe illnesses.
According to him, numerous testimonies from his followers point to recoveries achieved through prayer, repentance, and unwavering faith, which he described as evidence of God’s power at work.
However, the prophet clarified that he does not discourage medical care. Instead, he stated that spiritual intervention should complement conventional treatment, not replace it.
He encouraged his followers to continue seeking professional medical attention while remaining steadfast in prayer, noting that faith and science can coexist.
His remarks were in direct response to a recent advisory issued by the KMPDC, which cautioned the public against relying on faith-based healing claims for conditions such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, blindness, deafness, muteness, and other physical disabilities.

The council stressed that effective treatment must be grounded in scientific evidence and administered by trained and licensed healthcare professionals.
The KMPDC further warned that abandoning prescribed medical therapies for chronic conditions including HIV/AIDS, diabetes, hypertension, and epilepsy can lead to serious complications, disease progression, or even death.
The regulatory body noted that investigations are ongoing and that legal action could be taken against individuals or groups found to be endangering public health or violating medical ethics.
Despite the strong warning, Owuor reiterated his commitment to what he termed a divine calling to bring both spiritual and physical restoration to humanity.
He urged believers to exercise discernment, remain faithful, and respect medical advice.
Meanwhile, the KMPDC reassured Kenyans that the country’s healthcare system remains robust, with increased access to antiretroviral therapy, cancer treatment, and long-term management of chronic illnesses.
The council encouraged patients to rely on proven medical care while maintaining personal faith, emphasizing that evidence-based medicine remains the safest path to positive health outcomes.
