Pray & Prey is a Kenyan dramedy produced by Faith Koli for NTV. The show spans through the clergy society, the deep secrets they keep, their family issues, blasphemy and the deceit behind the "ministers" of God.
The title is derived from the pastor's perspective as one seeks guidance to the right path to God, one has to directly or indirectly pay the price. Directed by Gilbert Lukalia, the show was set in Nairobi. It is produced by Faith Koli.
The story starts with the death of a mentor Bishop. This leaves the three men of God in a dilemma and they in turn have to work together to beat all odds and hold each other accountable as they balance their personal lives and ministry work.
Pray and Prey premiered in Kenya on, NTV on 2 December 2015.It aired on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm. [5]
