Kenyans mourn the passing away of Bishop Ben Bahati

Local News

Bishop Ben

By Anne Kisang (anne_kisang)

The passing away of Bishop Ben Bahati on Monday evening, has left Kenyans heart broken and in solidarity to his family. Bishop Ben had been involved in a grisly road accident, in August, that injured his spinal cord leaving him paralysed from the abdomen down.

Yesterday, the devastating news of his death was relayed using a Facebook page dubbed ‘Pray for Bishop Bahati’ and part of it reads, “I know news travels so fast and most of you have already heard by now so I am heartbroken to confirm that Bishop Ben passed away this evening…for Bishop Ben himself, it is THE BEST THING that could ever possibly happen to him. He has gone home and is dancing with Jesus, free from pain…I have cried millions of tears these past 3 months and I will miss Bishop every day for the rest of my life. But now that he's home I think he would tell me to stop wasting time crying and get back to the field to win souls! …as I reflect on who Bishop has been to me, I remember Size 8's words in Bishop's guest book - "I can't wait to dance with you again." And it's so true, Bishop, I CAN'T WAIT to dance with you again. What a glorious day that will be.”

Messages of love and condolences were poured out upon receiving the news. Gospel artists who were mentored by Bishop took it to social media to send their condolences going with the hashtag #RIPBishopBenBahati.
