Lady Bishop Kathy Kiuna has opened up about the difficult period she endured following the death of her husband, Bishop Allan Kiuna, recalling a time when she felt as though the enemy had gained victory over her before God intervened and transformed her life.
Kathy shared the deeply personal reflection while ministering on Day Two of the Rhema Feast on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
Speaking to the congregation, the prominent preacher recalled the grief and uncertainty that followed her husband’s death, saying she initially felt overwhelmed and defeated.
“When my husband went to be with the Lord, and I thought that the enemy had me, God came in and took me,” Kathy recalled.
She said she eventually experienced a profound transformation, crediting God with lifting her out of the painful season, protecting her and giving her the strength to continue despite the loss.
“And that is why I am at Rhema Feast today. Because God came and He took me and He lifted me and He turned me around and shielded me,” she said.
Kathy described God as the ultimate source of comfort and support for people who find themselves alone or overwhelmed by circumstances beyond their control.
“He is a Husband of husbands,” she declared.
Turning her personal experience into a message of hope, the preacher urged people going through difficult seasons not to allow their pain to convince them that their lives or dreams have come to an end.
“So I want to talk to somebody. You don’t give up because of your pain,” Kathy told the congregation.
She encouraged those facing hardships to remain hopeful, suggesting that their current pain could be a precursor to a significant breakthrough.
“Because that pain is about to pass. Something powerful; that pain is about to pass. Something awesome,” she said.
Kathy then called on the congregation to respond through worship as she brought her ministration to an emotional climax.
“In this space, raise your voices and say Hallelujah,” she told the gathering.
The ministration came on the second day of the Rhema Feast, a Christian gathering being held at Uhuru Park in Nairobi from August 31 to September 4, 2026.
Day Two featured a line-up of ministers from Kenya and beyond, with Kathy sharing the stage with several prominent preachers and worship ministers.
Among those featured on the day’s programme were Apostle Isi Igenegba, Minister Dr Tumi, Lady Bishop Funke Felix-Adejumo of Nigeria and Apostle Michael Orokpo.
The event is hosted by Ruach Assemblies founder Rev Julian Kyula under the theme “Come, Let Us Rebuild,” inspired by Nehemiah 2:17-18.
