Days after it was confirmed that artistes would hold a Kesha at Bishop Michael Wanderi’s Christian Foundation Fellowship Church to honour the late gospel singer Betty Bayo, the day finally arrived, and artistes streamed into the event in their tens.

In a video shared by Bishop Wanderi on TikTok on Saturday, December 6, 2025, the church, based in Kiambu town, is seen filled to the brim, with fans of the late ‘11th Hour’ hitmaker responding with excitement to worship being led from the pulpit.

Key performances during the event came from singers such as Kigooco artiste Martin Wa Janet, who performed for close to ten minutes, and Njeru Thiga, who delivered endearing worship songs that captivated the audience.

In the video, Martin is seen dancing at the pulpit while waving a white handkerchief, as fans seated opposite the pulpit also rose to dance, creating an atmosphere brimming with energy.

Key ministers of the gospel who attended the event included Evangelist Lucy Wa Ngunjiri, Kamutini’s Bishop Mwani Zakayo, and Ruiru Priesthood’s preacher and gospel singer Reverend Mary Lincoln.

Honouring Betty

Bishop Michael Wanderi had confirmed plans for the mega artistes’ Kesha on November 20, 2025, as he guided Bishops on how to plant the cross at Betty Bayo’s grave.

At the time, Wanderi revealed that the idea for the Kesha had emanated from Evangelist Lucy Wangunjiri, who received a revelation while they were still at Betty’s burial.

He said Wa Ngunjiri had informed him and Bishop Mwangi Zakayo that, although Betty had been mourned and eulogised, the church wanted to hold a collective artistes’ Kesha where they would gather to praise and remember her.

“Evangelist Wangunjiri received a very good revelation while we were still here, and she informed Bishop Mwangi Zakayo that, although we have eulogised and mourned Betty very well despite not being from the same church, they have decided that we hold one mega Kesha with all artistes at our CFF church on December 5, 2025,” Wanderi said.

The bishop said he felt strongly that death does not mean defeat and highlighted that Betty, as a faithful Christian, had dedicated her life to serving God.

He also explained that CFF church ministers who had previously ministered with Betty would be the ones planting the cross at the event, symbolising hope for those who die in Christ.

“I feel in my spirit that dying does not mean being defeated. Betty, who is our sister, was a faithful Christian, and these servants of God from our church who had previously ministered with her will be the ones planting the cross,” Wanderi shared.

According to Bishop Wanderi, the Kesha would demonstrate that there is a day of resurrection for those who die in Christ.

“There is great hope for those who die in Christ, because a day will come when they will be resurrected. I feel in my spirit that dying does not mean being defeated. Betty, who is our sister, was a faithful Christian, and these servants of God from our church who had previously ministered with her will be the ones planting the cross,” he said.
