Similar prayer events are set to be held at State House Nairobi, according to First Lady Rachel Ruto.
Mrs. Ruto told clergy and faithful at the service she and President William Ruto convened that they will hold prayer ceremonies month after month to thank God for answering their prayers.
“The Bible says ‘People will go up to Jerusalem, year after year, to celebrate the feast of the tabernacles’, and I think that this is a place where people will come year after year for a thanksgiving. I want to tell the church that this is not the last service we are having, you will be coming here month after month to give thanks to the Lord for doing us good,” she said.
“When the Lord answers your prayer, you go to give thanks and we will not do it just once; we will keep coming to this altar that the fathers have laid here today in the State House ,” added the First Lady.
Mama Rachel also expressed her and President Ruto’s support for leading the country in prayer.
“Anything that is born of prayer has to be sustained by prayer. We have a duty before us as the church to continue upholding this nation in prayer… The doors of State House are open and know that you have Mama Rachel here that will always open the doors for you when the president is busy,” Mrs. Ruto said.
The thanksgiving service was the first of its kind at State House since Ruto moved in.
