  • Isn't it funny how we easily we make and commit to plans for the day, week, year. We don't know that our lives can turn in a moment. Annie and Sharon (Shazz) were going about their day having made plans for the afternoon. They recount their experience inside the Westgate shopping mall during the terrorist attack in 2013. This is a beautiful story of courage, faith, resilience and the beauty of family.

    Been avoiding this video for some reason but today I decided to play it and now I understand why the devil tried to stop me from watching it. Am blessed and so encouraged. Laughed and cried. God bless you ladies. I love your father's approach in prayers indeed we should believe when we pray. God answers prayers as long as we believe He will.

    I remember when i heard about the westgate thing, i was not understanding what was happening, i was miles away form Nairobi, but without knowing what was happening i went straight to my room, down on my knees on my carpet, i cried to the Lord like never before, for the souls inside the mall, God heard my prayer because many were rescued and i thank him up to date.

    @geewangare 6 лет назад +76

    Wow! What a story and a true testimony to how God works Annie and Sharon, I loved it. And I like the humour the two of you could see in it, which tells me that you were indeed comforted by the fact that you had God's angels protecting you and those you were with, in the midst of the tragedy and mortal danger you were facing. I just broke down and cried when you said you saw your dad coming in to look for the both of you, because I believe mine would do the same if I was faced with a similar situation. God bless. God is good and faithful, let us look to Him for help and lean on Him in good and in bad times. His grace is sufficient always.

    It is no mean fit to recount and recall the horrific and traumatizing details of that dreaded day; However, I thank God that through it all the blood of Jesus was upon you and those around you, and you lived to tell the tale of this grand testimony. Thank you God.

    Reminds me of a day years back when someone raised the alarm of an armed robbery at my workplace...I looked around...everyone scampering&screaming. I was applying makeup at the time&by the look of things we were cornered...so what do i do...I continue applying makeup calmly as I prayed&told Jesus I am coming home beautifully that's if the robbers don't listen to my pleas. God gave me such calmness&it turned out to be a false alarm😆

    You are amazing story tellers. Eloquent, well spoken with beautiful narration to keep an audience glued. This was the first one I watched in the Engage talk series and honestly you set the bar so high no other story in the series is told as captivatingly as yours. So glad you made it out alive and well.

    So intense, so emotional, funny as well. All I can say is God is faithful. God is great. 🙏

      It was a miracle for you and God is faithful. We lost a brother in-law(my husband's elder brother). A friend,a brother,a son,a dad,a granddad,a husband,a civil servant...he was many things. We have never recovered.
