OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that the popular gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey, has recounted how his wife suffered multiple miscarriages while he was leading the Hallelujah Challenge, which many testified to the glory of God.

OTN News further reports that Bassey who disclosed this while leading the ongoing edition of the Hallelujah Challenge on Friday, revealed that his wife experienced five miscarriages, including an ectopic pregnancy, during those difficult periods.

OTN News observes that the Hallelujah Challenge is a month-long virtual praise and worship session convened by Bassey, where thousands of believers gather online to sing, pray, and share testimonies.

Furthermore, Bassey stressed that despite the struggles, he continued to host the live praise sessions, returning to lead worship even when his wife was in the hospital.

OTN News observes that while he sought his wife’s forgiveness for publicly sharing the experience, he recalled how even in those difficult moments, he chose to worship.

According to him, “my wife will have to forgive me. Do you know there were times during the Hallelujah Challenge when we had a miscarriage, and nobody knew? I would still come online to praise and dance."

“A few years ago, she was in the hospital with an ectopic pregnancy. I would leave, lead praise and worship online, then return to the hospital and the nurses attending to her would tell me, ‘It was powerful tonight.’ Not one, not two not three or four pregnancies, but five.” he added.

He further encouraged believers not to lose faith in God, reaffirming that “God is faithful” even in difficult times.

“So when people say, ‘Where is God?’ I say, I understand. God is faithful. One of the words He gave us was, ‘Don’t give up on God,” he added.

OTN News, however, observes that Bassey married his wife Sarah in 2013, and the couple is blessed with two children, a son and a daughter.
