Reverend Kathy Kiuna of Jubilee Christian Church said her late husband, Bishop Allan Kiuna, knew his time on earth was up.
During Kiuna’s memorial service at Faith Evangelistic Ministries, Karen, Kathy said Kiuna often talked about ‘going home’ but his family and close friends were not ready to accept it.
A tearful Kathy said Kiuna even said people were coming for him and she asked him to send them away.
“I am usually easy with the microphone but this is very hard on me…When he (Allan Kiuna) first took me to you (Prophetess Teresia Wairimu), I was a 24-year-old young girl and he never told me he was bringing me to you. He took me to ‘mum’ when I was in shorts. She (Teresia) looked at him and told him, this is the one. He had taken other girls before…but she had rejected everybody else until she saw me.
His health issues began in 2018 but when he did the bone marrow transplant he got well and was given a clean bill of health until 2021 when he started feeling some pain in his leg. At the end of 2021, again, he was cancer-free and then in November 2023 we were called and told Kiuna was cancer-free.
We were so happy and we called all our spiritual children…I called everyone and told them we would have a Thanksgiving service on December 10.
When he started getting unwell in February 2024 I was wondering, God, what’s going on? What is this? In March and April he preached powerfully in church…the last message he ever preached, he did a demonstration that was out of this world and we will never forget as Jubilee Christian Church. He handed the mic over and as I held it he told Robert, ‘Let’s go’… and they walked out and that was the last message he ever preached.
He knew he was going but I think we could never accept it and God knew He could not even try to come to me to ask me whether he (Kiuna) could go because He knows the answer. My best friend? I have been with him more than I have been alone. I do not know how to do life without this man. I need God, I need his angels, I need the Holy Ghost…I need all the hosts of heaven to help me walk this journey because it is hard. It’s tough mum (Teresia).
He (Kiuna) said, 'I wanna go home'. And he was saying it in front of Pastor Andrew and me…I said, listen carefully. ‘You are already home’…and one day he said, ‘they are coming’. I said, ‘Tell them to go’. He stopped saying it because we were fighting it but it reached a point he did want to go.
All I am asking is please, (I know you will say Pastor Kathy is so strong) but I need all of you to uphold me and my children in prayer and help us walk this journey because it is a rough road. It is tough,” said Kathy.
The preacher will be buried on Wednesday, June 17, 2024.
