During his frequent "Hallelujah Challenge," Nathaniel Bassey talked about the emotional toll his wife's five miscarriages took on him and his family.
Thousands of believers gather online to sing, pray, and share testimony at Bassey's month-long virtual praise and worship event, the Hallelujah Challenge.
While hosting the current program in the early hours of Friday, Bassey disclosed that during those trying times, his wife had five losses, including an ectopic pregnancy.
He led the live worship sessions in spite of the personal suffering; he even went back to host the sessions while his wife was in the hospital.
"My wife will need to pardon me." Did you know that we experienced miscarriages during the Hallelujah Challenge and that no one was aware of them? I would still go on the internet to dance and give adulation," Bassey recalled.
"She was in the hospital a few years ago with an ectopic pregnancy," he continued. When I returned to the hospital after leading praise and worship virtually, the nurses caring for her would remark, "It was powerful tonight." Five pregnancies, not one, two, three, or four.
Bassey took the opportunity to remind believers that "God is faithful" even in the most trying situations and to exhort them to hold fast to their faith.
