A
Congolese church has caused severe controversy after it was found out
that it claimed to used cast out demons in the drinking of beer.
The church was founded by Guy Emile Loufoua Cetikouabo, who proclaimed himself God, and claims to be invisible by his followers. He is represented on earth by the current leader of the church called Charles Mikoungui Loundou.
“What we want to share with the world, is that we found a person who has the three characteristics of God, omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. That man is Guy Emile loufoua Cetikouabo. He was born without a navel, and that defies science,” a church member, Charles Mikoungui Loundou said.
This church bases its doctrine on the consumption of beer which
they believe can be used to cleanse evil spirits. The faithful call
this mixture of beer and faith, “biĆ©ramicine”.
Services which last up to 9 hours are dedicated to the healing of souls and bodies with sips of beer and praise.
People come from all walks of life mainly to seek an immediate solution to all their evils.
“I arrived here sick, brother Mikoungui gave me a bottle of beer, I drank a first sip, and a second, at the third one, I went into a trance, I then felt better,” a believer, Kondi Jean- Jacques, confessed. “I believe beer can heal, if you drink it with faith" he added.
Today, about 5,000 people attend this church that stretches across the country.
