A prayer to God to grant Kenyan President’s daughter Charlene Ruto a husband has sparked strong reactions online in the country.
Ruto was among thousands of people who attended a mass prayer service led by American preacher Benny Hinn in the capital Nairobi over the weekend.
President William Ruto and First Lady, Vice President Ligasi Gachagua and Mrs. Dorcas were also present.
When the preacher asked those seeking her prayers to come forward, the president’s daughter stood up and asked for her prayers for her own mission to the youth.
The preacher prayed for them and then asked if they had any special requests. Before he could continue praying, she whispered in his ear:
“Give her a husband that will fulfil that call with her. Lord send that young man her way, that will be a strength to her, a great supporter,” Benny Hinn prayed.
Benny Hinn prayed.“She can’t do this alone, Lord, she is going to the battlefield to win souls… she needs a husband soon.”
This Prayer for a Husband has created a buzz among Kenyans – some criticized her, others supported her proposal, and others made fun of her.
“My name is Omwamba, Hustler. I contacted you after seeing your heartfelt desire for a husband during a prayer session with Pastor Benny Hinn.
“I was touched by your faithfulness and the faith you showed yesterday, and God sent me to you,”
Kenyans pray for Benny Hinn to find a good husband. I wrote that I would like you to pray for me. Marriage is sacred,” said another Kenyan.
