(VIDEO) Pastor Kanyari Appoints Marion Naipei as Church Prophetess and Grants Her Duty to Anoint Congregants with Oil

Popular preacher Victor Kanyari has reportedly appointed social media personality Marion Naipei as a prophetess at his Salvation Healing Ministry church, a move that has quickly sparked debate online.

In February and March 2026, several videos began circulating on social media showing Naipei performing church rituals during services at the ministry. In the clips, she can be seen anointing congregants with oil as worship music plays while believers line up to receive prayers and blessings.

The videos have attracted massive attention online because Naipei had previously gone viral on social media for unrelated reasons before her sudden appearance in the church.

Naipei’s New Role at the Church

According to reports, Naipei recently joined the church and has taken up an active role in both leadership and the music ministry.

During services, she has been seen assisting in spiritual activities, including anointing church members with oil. The act is commonly performed in many churches as a symbolic prayer for healing, protection, and blessings.

Some reports also indicate that Naipei has embraced gospel music and has even dedicated songs to Pastor Kanyari during church services.
