Wamuyu is known for top Kikuyu Gospel hits like Ni Gukena and Amukira Ngatho and also ministers as a pastor at Victors Assembly Church.

Earlier in the week, Wamuyu took to her Instagram pages to express gratitude for the commencement of open-air prayer meetings in Nairobi, which she described as historic.

She described the spiritual session held in Nairobi CBD as a prayer watch moment for Kenya’s capital city.

“Monday, April 8, is a historic day as we pioneered the first-ever open-air monthly prayer watch for Nairobi county,” Wamuyu reported.

According to the minister, just as it is named, the prayer session will be held every month, and the prayers will focus on addressing the spiritual needs of Nairobi.

She disclosed that the county chief and a Member of the County Assembly representing the CBD area had given her and her team the liberty to choose different spots to hold the monthly prayer watch sessions.

“We convey our gratitude to the great leadership of our able H.E. Governor Johnson Sakaja, in conjunction with CBD-MCA Honorable Kwenya Mwaniki, for allowing us to choose any spot in the CBD and call on God for the prosperity of our city,” said Wamuyu.

She said the opportunity to align Nairobi’s vision with God's will was spiritual, and she cited Jeremiah 33:9 as the scripture anchor for the prayer watch.

“Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honour before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it," Jeremiah 33:9 reads.

Praying for Nairobi

Leaning on her scriptural reference, Wamuyu and her team are determined to honour God with praise as He blesses Kenya with great things.

“Jeremiah 33:9 guides us as we pray in line with His vision for this great city and county,” she said.

This comes even as President William Ruto called on Christians and missionaries to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to areas where cattle rustling and banditry were rampant.

The president observed that the banditry issue was more of a spiritual issue than a physical matter.
