Pastor who tried to walk on water drowns

An evangelist who tried replicating Jesus’ miracle of walking on water has reportedly drowned off the western coast of Africa.

Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle, and he attempted it from a beach in Gabon’s capital of Libreville.

He told churchgoers he’d had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus,’ an eyewitness told the Glasgow Daily Record.

He took his congregation to the beach saying he would walk across the Komo estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat.

So on the d-day they all gathered to watch the miracle. He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back.’
