Bushiri jets in Malawi for comfort service of worshipper James Nee, 2 other ECG members
South Africa-based Malawian prophet Shepherd Bushiri of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) has hailed his church members’ spirit of solidarity in mourning the death of its three members in a fatal accident.
Lead worhsiper James Nee together with two church drivers Beston Khamba and Brain Gondwe died in a road accident on Tuesday in Polokwane, South Africa.
The three were coming from a gospel crusade held in Malawi’s Capital City over the weekend. Their car is said to have collided with a truck and overturned, killing all of them on the spot.
Speaking from Uganda where, at the time of the three’s death he was holding a crusade, Prophet Bushiri said members of his church worldwide have been sending him messages of condolences and hundred others have already jetted in the country to attend burial.
“The unity displayed by our church in this trying time has been awesome. From the day of the death to the arrival in Malawi, our members, worldwide, have exhibited a rare sense of solidarity in helping a better send off for our members,” he said in a mourning tone.
Burial for James and Beston will be held this Friday at Area 18 cemetery in Lilongwe while that of Brain will be in his home village, Rumphi.
The bodies jetted in on Thursday from South Africa and were received at the airport by senior church leaders led by Prophetess Mary Bushiri.
Bushiri will jet in the country this Friday and he will hold a service of comfort with family and he is also scheduled to meet them and offer condolences after the service.
Ambassadors for Christ Ministries (ACM) has joined the larger ECG church family in mourning James Nee, describing his death as a great loss in the Kingdom of God.
Nee was a singer, songwriter, producer, businessman and actor.
“With great sadness on behalf of my family and the entire church of Ambassadors for Christ Ministries International (ACM), I want to express our sincere condolences to the families of the deceased, ECG family and my spiritual father Prophet Shepherd Bushiri Major 1 for the loss of the precious souls of the great worshiper James Nee, Beston Khamba and Brian Grant,” ACM Founder and its leader Senior Prophet Justice Hara told Nyasa Times.
He said each of the three had a remarkable role and duty in the family and body of Christ as a whole.
“It is to my great disbelief that such souls have departed in this tragic manner which has turned out to be shocking and seemingly impossible to all the saints considering their duties in the body of Christ,” he said.
Prophet Hara added: “But with great honor to the precious souls now in eternity, whose tragic departure has triggered sorrow in the hearts of many, it is my opportunity to recognize the legacy they have left which is also a wake up call to all the saints”.
Nee has left behind a wife whom he just married recently.
Apparently, it is Prophet Hara who blessed Nee’s wedding on behalf of his spiritual father, Prophet Bushiri.

very true ifa imeneyi ikudabwitsa y iweyo sanapitye nawo kumalilo
May there souls rest in peace
MTSRIP…
At least the prophet could have seen this dark cloud over himself and his team and take measures but you dont get blessings from the wicked but destruction.
People just follow blindly, Lero ndi iziiii
May the souls of our brothers rest in peace. God ways are not our ways.as children of God we need to thank God in everything
My heart is bleeding, James what a way to go. Only God knows. This is very sad. Rest in Peace my brothers.
As is appointed once a man die then judgement Hebrew 9:27
I feel heartbroken by the sadden and premature departure of these young souls in a very tragic and heartbreaking manner.I loved the singer and the passion with which he sung and swayed thousands to God.But i have a lot of questions. These guys as close as they were to the Prophets,how come the Major 1 did not see this happening?I thought God of Major 1 would have revealed about this dark hour and perhaps warn them in some way or pray about it so that it is avoided?
I mean if Major 1 who always say he was born to prophesy can see deep things like the number of years of people,names,type of chairs and what have you, how can he did not see this? I want to tell fellow christians not follow human beings but to respect and follow God who knows our destiny.A prophecy cannot come unless it is given by God.But many think,a man of God can do it using his own ability and heap a lot of glory and praise on him.Noooo! Stop being fooled.God cannot be deceived.RIP guys.
Well spoken. Stop worshipping false prophets you Africans.
Shame, I would though for one reason or the other the self proclaimed prophet should have seen this coming and pleaded with his god as he is used to lie to people.
A Kambwiri muzangochimwa nazo izi coz inunso simukudziwa kuti imfa yanu idzakhala yotani. Musiyeni prophet ife akutidalitsa tiri. nayenso amamuopa Mulungu kuti ndiye ali ndi final say. Dzanja la Mulungu likalemba lalemba. You dont question God’s ways. Nanga anthu akufa onsewa mukuti sapemphera? Zinazi muziganiza kaye musanalembe chifukwa lanunso litha kudzakhala chimodzimodzi and mudzaproblema ndani?
Amen brother.
People can talk anyhow but the Holy Spirit words make things happen. Be careful before you talk anyhow rest you sin. God reveals at his will to persons of his choice for a specific reason best planned to achieve his WILL. Nobody is beyond touch. Great men of God like Job were also touched. Our Lord Jesus was touched. David was touched.
thanks bro…they don’t know neither do they understand no one is beyond touch.
Bushiri is a true prophet and highly anointed.
This is what many people would want to ask but are afraid of. God is God. Too much is expected of ECG now because of their spiritual movies over time.
Man know thyself.
Powerful words, people are just following these so called prophets blindly.
“Salome”…you don’t rejoice over others predicament. the best is to console and pray for the bereaved family. it is a well known tradition world over to accord your departed the best burial rituals you can afford as a show of your unshakable love for them. CHAONA MZAKO CHAPITA MAWA CHILI PA IWE…..
Very sad indeed. May their souls rest in eternal peace. By the way, I do not quite understand the use of the “saints” in this report. My belief is that saints are those that that are enjoying Divine glory. And here it is said that the departure of the three members of ECG should be s “wake up call” to all the saints. To me saints cannot be forgetful or oblivious, or taken unawares. They are already in eternal bliss. At least that is my theological understanding.
Of course accidents happen KOMA bwanji sanagulire ma air ticket anthu ofunikila ngati amenewo
Sad, though I see no reason for these poor souls to travel all the way from South Africa for this earthly show in Lilongwe. We don’t need to seek Jesus and kingdom thousands of miles away. He’s here with us all the time.
Three jets parked and members drive all the way to and from malawi, what a lose. Pastors take care of your members please, dont let them labour that way. I Cant wait to see a miracle happening now, i mean that one that failled to take place on grace chinga’s death.
Gold plated coffins will not bring them back.
Who said it will bring them back?
ndiye iweyo ndi uchitsiru wako osakondwa ndi zochita za anthu wena, umati Bushir atani?
No one is trying to bring them back. Please show some respect
James Nee touched souls on stage, on air and anywhere he would meet you. His humility and affection is solely missed by my Son Daluxolo and Voni Shivambu, who were so close to him. My prayer will be continuously on his young family (Wife and Daughter he never had an opportunity to co-parent). RIP
Listening to his songs (James Nee) healed my soul. I am shattered but God knew better , the angels are rejoicing . May their beautiful souls rest in eternal peace .
Hmmm my heart is so heavy to hear about the death of James Nee, for hours i could not eat, could not think straignt but prayed a little prayer for his wife and family, may God comfort his wife and daughter and the entire family. The last time i saw james was in Abuja, Nigeria. rest on in his bosoom and the rest guys. We love you but heaven knows best.
