Exactly 4 days ago on the 24th of this month my wife and I lost our first baby @38weeks. She was a baby girl ( and just like the pastor I had really wanted a baby girl ). My wife and I are both ministers of the gospel again just like this couple. We are just beginning our healing journey and today I stumbled upon this video. I am watching with my wife right now and their story is speaking directly to us. Thank you for the upload.
May God give healing to you and your wife.
Healing be your portion in Jesus Name! We mourn with you! 🙏🏽
More Grace to you and your dear wife. Next year a time , she will be holding her baby girl. Dear Lord, see them through grief and rewards with them double blessings.
May God give you peace that surpasses all human understand
❤
I related so bad when Julie said "I felt like God was a bully"
Oh God this was a test beyond measure to see pastor Pete and Julie crying made me cry with them .I had heard Julie's story from kambuas channel but I didn't know this Julie is pastor Pete's wife .When men of God go through this and peace is restored it makes us know that many are the afflictions of the righteous but God is there to uphold us .Thank you to God He has restored you with beautiful sons .
Yes indeed. They have been restored just like in Jobs story!
It is a long journey however, but God has promised in His word that He will never leave us nor forsake us!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you for sharing
My first time seeing this channel v❤and let me tell you am here to stay 😊
Because Julie stood with me some years back, am here to watch
Yeeeh 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I less than 10 minutes in and I really loooove this. How awesome are Christians!!!How awesome is this channel? How awesome is Pst.Don How awesome is Pete and Julie?This is so amaizing
Julie you are so beautiful...the aura is still there as Pete saw when you first met.
Aaaaaw
From Lynn Ngugi,,,ave fallen inlove with couple
Karibu sana. Na ukae 😅
Two things:
1. Julie, I really appreciate how you narrate how you, in your lowest state, managed to comfort your husband
2. this suicide thing should be urgently addressed, particularly in the Kenyan church, or in the body of Christ. Nonetheless, it is good that Buyale and Pete family, being Christians, have spoken about it. I look forward to sharing my story some day. God bless.
Yes Yes… True partnership in action!
Masculinity must be bestowed by Masculinity...how I wish the world would get this..enjoying the interview in Reddeer..Alberta Canada.
Yes Yes! God bless you 🙏🏽
💯💯
My brother of 32 yrs went to heaven 5.05.23. It was an accident so it came along with shock which made me lose a part of my memory. Every emotion u have captured here n more is what we experienced that day and the months that hav followed. That sting of death n pain..i know it.. i am still there.. including feeling God is bad for causing us too much pain, including not praying...yaani listening to you i feel u sharing my pain n experience.And yes we had prayed sana for him. We are all born again including him, actually h was training to b a pastor in ministry. Nobody can convince me it was the devil coz you would first convenience me whether God had taken a break of watching over him n us or if the devil had overpowered God..I wish I could one day just cry in your arms .. encouraged tho for your restoration.
Amen and we pray for you too to receive your full healing and restoration in Jesus name! 🫂
Thanks Don..
This couple is a pure testament to how marriage works. I love how the men are listening to her quietly and attentively. Having an older supportive and present couple friend is a plus too
🙏🏽
I saw this beautiful humble lady serving as an usher during rhema feast. I am shocked that she is a pastor's wife. Amazing
Yes Yes 🙌
Jameni,Asante.I am blushing ❤
She is already an Ambassador for Christ!
Esther you are 💯
I gave birth to my child in June and in the hospital I was in, I met a lady who was very supportive in my labour and congratulated me after delivery, only to find out her son was not doing so well. We kept praying together, went to see her in the hospital during my baby vaccination...later on, I found out that she lost her son, this is a third child she is losing. She may need your help.
Oh how heartbreaking 💔
I've really cried. Im so sorry Pst Pete and Julie 😭
🙏🏽
I feel incredibly blessed by Pete and Julie's testimony. Their story has renewed my faith. I'm from Tanzania and have been married for seven years. I experienced the loss of a pregnancy on 27th March 2018, an experience I can't forget, and it left me traumatized.
I've always loved and trusted God since my childhood, but there have been moments when I've felt betrayed by Him. Pete and Julie's story has rejuvenated my faith.
I kindly request the three of you to speak life to my womb please. Amen
Father, you have said in your word that we should only believe! And that all we need is faith as little as a mustard seed to move mountains. We present this mountain before your daughter here… May she return with rejoicing in Jesus Name 🙏🏽
@@DonGichaneAmen,so be it!
Such a powerful and encouraging session. Pst Pete and Julie are truly a sound in this generation. May The Lord continue to empower you to serve His purposes in our generation. 🙏
Also, its how Pst Pete refers to Julie as "My Wife" everytime 🥺🥰 A love like this! 🙌🎉🥰🥳 Be blessed!
Yes they truly are a gem 💎
So true about couples divorcing after loss. Sadly, I know one too many couples. From here on out, I will be sensitive to encouraging grieving Fathers as well. This story really reminds us of how God walks with us through life's ups and downs. I just read an article that had a few profound statements;
*Grief and Love are two sides of the same coin.
*Grief can only exist where love lived first.
*Absence allows us to tap into a new depth of love,one we didn't know existed.
Well said… well said!
Death loss is the mooooooooost painful, I too have been there, loosing a, full term baby some years Back, then later years in one year I had 2 miscarriages n then lost my mum, the painful one feels is too much beyond xplaining, Pete n Julie's story will help pple out there but I think u should do such more stories n if possible bring a counselor along who can share on how to deal with such loss n grief cos weuh it's very traumatic
Amazing conversation. One of my experiences was battling with negative thoughts and emotions of why has God allowed certain things in life. Battling depression myself and negative toxic thoughts of maybe im cursed or bewitched had a hold of my mind. The pain i felt of feeling alone with shut doors. Went from many friends to no friends. Missed opportunities. Nothing seemed to be working out. Through the storm ive learnt to love God despite the circumstances. Truth be told it is hard to trust God. Even if it doesn't make sense i know God is taking me through a season of growth.
Yes Yes! Seasons are sometimes very tough but they could be there to make us better, more patient, more loving, more compassionate and be able to empathize with others when they go through similar situations. I pray that you overcome ever one of these challenges…
I've cried watching this.... And all I can say is mourning may last for the night.. But joy comes in the morning..... Beautiful testimony.. Just watched Julie on being kambua then RUclips recommended this.... God restores and has beautified these two ❤🎉...
Having lost a baby same way as Julie, I can relate to all this. I have been through a faith crises since exactly one year later I lost my husband .Let us just say Gods grace has been sufficient ,I am still alive and believing for a restoration.
I speak full restoration to you in a way only God can… I can’t imagine what you’ve been through but Jehovah knows, He sees and He cares! 🙏🏽
God of Restoration is at work
I am deeply sorry for this
He isn't done yet!!may GOD restore you
❤❤🎉🎉🎉 sending you love and peace
When you said grieve together, my heart went out to those who experience pregnancy and grief alone... I cannot just imagine how rough that is..
Indeed. There is underrated strength in doing things together! I can’t imagine doing it alone either… 😢
This is what marriage should be.. together in and out of fire . This is the best story I have heard in a long while and how they love each other is such a beautiful thing to see.
Indeed they are a true inspiration and gift to humanity!
I lost my grandpa 2 months ago n i couldn't even attend his burial coz there is a part of me that couldn't handle seeing him in that casket😢.I loved him soooo much that i cry each time i think of him,i dont know how i will ever get over it. I just love pastor pete n Julie and thanks pastor Don for letting the story flow👏
More grace to you Gladys… Sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort.
This channel deserves to have more than 500k subscribers
@magdalene I’ll receive that as prophecy 🎉🎉🎉 and you have my vote 😜
Now I understand when I told God I wasn't ready for the path he put me when I had an accident.. At first I asked God to please reverse the situation but I had to keep going. Three years later still believing and trusting God will stabilize my walking again... It's been a journey i wouldn't wish on anyone... May God keep blessing you Pete and Julie
God bless you too Josephine… 🙏🏽
Pastor Don has good interview skills..he let them tell the story!
Well thank you for the compliment 🙏🏽
This story reminds me of September 2022 when me and my wife lost our Twins,eeeeeeiiiii😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, REGARDLESS🙌🙌🙌
@princeshafeen May you receive total healing and restoration in Jesus name! 🙏🏽
@@DonGichane Amen Amen Amen Man of God
Above all God is still on the throne....He makes things beautiful at His time
Very true, “ALL” things!
I lost a daughter, 14 yrs, 2021, I can well relate, I was disappointed, Im in ministry I couldn't see how God can reward if this is my reward, but during all that time to now I love God even more, He has truly comforted me.
Phillis May Jehovah continue to see you through the seasons of your life and show you His faithfulness throughout all generations!
I have cried a good one … went through the same experience Feb 17th 2020 but Its amazing how GOD heals and restores. Through my experience my faith grew and I learned true meaning of GODS PEACE AND COMFORT. To anyone experiencing the same just know GOD GOT YOU.
What a testimony Caroline. Indeed God does restore! Thank you for sharing and sorry for your experience with loss!
I have cried, gotten angry and felt all the emotions throughout this conversation. Thank you for bringing this couple here, Don. As a born again Christian and a pastor's kid, grief and loss are areas that need to be given attention today more than ever. Church leaders and their families just like the rest of the world go through loss and grief, only that the world expects them to be strong. I really felt Pete's pain when he talked about suicide while at the hospital after they learned that their daughter was not alive. Greif is enough to suck life out of anyone, however strong they are. God atusaidie sana. It is not well kabisa in this area.
Soooooo true. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this 🙏🏽
I really loved this.msiba uskie tuu kwa jirani.That part where pastor Pete talks about men not knowing how to grief and being forgotten was so profound and deep.Hugs to everyone who is currently grieving or who has lost a loved one ❤.
Absolutely Esther. It’s surprising just how clueless we all are faced with certain situations… even not knowing what to say or do… sometimes being present even in silence is best!!
I lost my bestfriend last year Dec. I was in that hospital room and I watched her transition. It was such a sudden death that I was left traumatised. She had gotten married a month prior so we had so many plans for the future. Her hubby is such an amazing young man so I was looking forward to thier future together. It has taken a year to grow back my Faith and Trust in God because I felt like He had let me down. She was born again and we were believing for her healing so I didn't understand why God would allow her death. Watching this has brought sooo many memories but has also validated how I felt and still feel sometimes. I have cried soo much but I thank God I bumped into this in this season. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you.
Junet I’m really sorry for your loss. I pray that the Lord brings you full restoration and healing. These things sometimes take time but one day you’ll get better… allow Him to take you through this journey. You will smile again one day! 🙏🏽
Thank you Sir. God bless you
Here for pastor Pete and Julie. They are awesome people.
Yes they are…
When you are in a faith crisis season and you land on this amazing platform. I discovered this channel 2 months ago and the blend of faith and reality has just been uplifting me ! God bless you Pastor , and for all the guests who share their stories of faith and life ! A soul is transformed ✋
Amen to that… May He continue to intervene in our affairs and bring healing to all men…
Same here! I'm also going through a rough patch. Listening to them gives me hope that God will get me out of this mess.
Such great interviewing skills....I loved how he let them tell their story without much interruptions, but still keeping it engaging. Good job Don.
God bless you and thank you for your thoughts! 🙏🏽
WAaaooo what am amazing story....May God continue to manifest in your lives
🙌
Kindly read When God Doesn't Make Sense by Dr James Dobson. It helped me go through a very difficult time in my faith, to understand that bad things happen to all, both the good and bad people. And it is not God that does the bad things. It is Satan but God takes what the Devil meant for evil and turns it around for our good, only if we let Him. Dr James Dobson advises saints not to come to the place that rules out God's existence by virtue of our hopes being disappointed. That would be tossing away our faith, which is more precious than silver or gold! No matter what happens, we must contend for our faith in God because it is the currency of heaven! Thank you Pete & Julie Kariuki for sharing your story. God bless you.
Wow, what a story!!! No words at all!!🙌🙌
🤐
Just arrived from Lynn Ngugi ❤❤❤❤
Karibu sana… and please do stick around!
This is a Therapy for me. Coz I lost my first child .in May 9th....I never missed clinic yet I lost my child through placenta Abraption.....I went through Csection....I really questioned God ...this was the only joy and u hve taken him....Thank 🙏 Pete and Julie
Peace and comfort to you!! Sorry for your pain and loss! 🙏🏽
The society doesn't know how to handle men. Even men are broken when there's a loss. They are not superhumans. I so loved this interview especially after undergoing a premature loss. Bless you all
Ruth this is absolutely true! More often than not men are expected to roll with the punches! But God!!
Very sorry for your loss too. Receive full healing and restoration in Jesus name! 🙏🏽
This journey of introspection has unveiled deep-seated emotions and experiences that I had suppressed. I must face these truths and embark on a healing process to ensure my well-being.
This story made me angry sad frightened I have cried.. pain that believers go through... when you serve God and think he will come through then he doesn't....you just want to die...faith crisis is real .. you want the whole gospel thing introduced again in a way you can understand 😢😢
Thank you for staying tuned. Yes life as a believer can sometimes get unbelievable! 🙏🏽
This has made me realise hw painful a miscarrage or death of a baby can be. Its not as simple as i used to think
Right??? Loss is loss!!
On the 25th of October, last month I also lost my firstborn daughter 5 hours after a CS delivery. Am so broken cause am also a pastor's wife, we had prepared to welcome our baby, I didn't even see her as they were resuscitating her cause I was under the effects of anesthesia. Holding my child's lifeless body was really painful and all I could think was that God had failed me big time, currently going through the healing process and such stories have been carrying me through since the burial of my daughter. At first, I thought I was the only one going through this but hearing other people's stories has helped me be easy on myself. If the Kariukis survived it and they can Smile I have hope that My husband and I will too by God's grace.
Mourine, I speak peace and shalom to you during this very trying time for you… May Jehovah bring you comfort and peace!
@@DonGichane Amen n Amen
Just needed this, just lost my almost two year old son n I don know how to move on, feel encouraged
Mary, so sorry for your loss. May peace and comfort be upon you!
Aww what a beautiful couple.i have learnt a lot from your story.mostly about also helping or taking care of the man who has also lost the child .
Wishing you well in your life endeavors.
Oh and you have beautiful babies.
Yes Yes they do! 🙌
I don’t even know this people,why am I crying with them?❤😤😤.
Pray for me guys, the wilderness season is no Joke.
Soo much grief and sadness to Gods people.
As your name suggests, you are set apart! The wilderness is a part and parcel of our journey but you too will have a testimony soon enough - if you hold on a little while longer!
@@DonGichane Thank you man of God. Much needed and appreciated
Lost my baby girl too on 4th October this year,have 3 boys and she was my only girl. Whatever am going through God knows😢😢😢
Jackline, may the Lord bring you peace and comfort at this time! More grace to you! 🙏🏽
I am so sorry for your loss
Thank you for sharing so deeply and with so much vulnerability and realness....
My sister had a miscarriage I now realise I minimised her loss.....
We thank God you made it through and may God continue to use you to heal others!
Beautiful boys...so beautiful. I used to follow Julie on her channel then it went blank I now see why.More grace...more anointing

Amazing interview! Love you my people!
Gach you know you were a huge part of this… 🙏🏽
Sometimes as a human being we feel being failed after praying and something not happening but after all God fulfill him self to us
Amen 🙏🏽
Yes indeed at the end the Lord always comes through for us in ways that are always higher than ours…
@@DonGichane very true
When they were talking about the days after Zora's promotion, my spirit sang the new wine song.
This touched me to the core! I know that feeling. I lost my only child last year, and yes, my faith was shaken!
Sarah, May the Lord bring you full healing ❤️🩹
I'm encouraged by their story.
Thanks for sharing it
You are welcome Jacinta!
Its true some men take time to process... especially children
Wow what a story.... Pete and Julie are such an inspiration.... Your loss process helped my wife and I alot during our loss.... May God bless and increase you....
Julie and Pete thanks for the encouragement.
I'm a better person watching your content .
Amen and Glory to God 🙏🏽
wooow...this interview has just given me strength to fight though. the closing remarks👌👌
When you started "life is unfair i couldn't understand 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 but now i can say Shalom..🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Shalom Caroline 🙏🏽
Mine is a different loss...but your words have given me so much healing...and am crying so much. I am watching from the office, I don't even know how to go home. But thank you Pete, and Julie my namesake. More grace to us the brokenhearted
Wow!
I learnt about their loss through a live that Julie had with Murugi Munyi and God is just faithful!
Yes indeed He is!
I have always admired this two....we went for camp when I was a trendsetter at pc and I was like I want what they have in my future.
Amen to that and we are many… 🙏🏽 May you receive it according to your faith!
This is the most beautiful video i have watched on RUclips. Pastor pete and Julie and Bishop Prophet Don. I will buy you guys lunch soon.
David the Bible says in
Ecclesiastes 5:5
It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.
😅 Just ask for my M-PESA number now…
I have cried and cried 😭😭..Julie and Pastor Pete thank you for sharing the intimate part of your story with the world..He has bestowed on you beauty instead of ashes and the oil of joy instead of mourning..Your ministry has just started
You are so right about this. Such a great ministry out of a painful experience!
Oooh Julie....so lovely to see you
🙏🏽
Godly marriages are beautiful & they work!
God bless you for sharing your journey with us.🙏😊
Amen 🙏🏽
This is a true reflection of the oneness that we were told about in Genesis 2:24-25.
I Was so blessed watching this story; not forgetting the 👞👠shoes. They had such nice shoes😃
Didn’t notice the shoes… wow 😮!
Asante ❤
Thank you for restoring hope & Joy to some of us. Baby loss and miscarriage is such a heavy grief which lingers for a long time. It can make or break a couple, there is Hope in Christ
In Jesus Name!
Wow!
Facing adversity
Building resilience
Finding Joy.
This is the manuscript of all types of pain.I attest to this💯.
I thought I was the only one who clings to only one verse till it comes to pass😂
I am so so blessed ❤
Glory to God!
This is heart rending, av cried for these dear ones, may your pain bring courage and hope to others as you continue to heal
Indeed Joyce it is/was heart wrenching; BUT GOD! 🙏🏽
Thank you Julie and Pete for such a powerful testimony. Pastor Don for providing such a platform. I'm blessed
God bless you Grace! 🙏🏽
What a story! I know Pete as one of the best trainers in matters business. I can't be happier to know his other side of Trusting God. Happy to hear the mention of his counterpart Joe. God bless you all including Julie and Don.
Asante 🙏🏽
What Julie said at the end...hit like a tonne of bricks. I needed that.
💯
Lovely couple here.I admire their ability to bounce back despite the pain they've had to endure and this testimony also brings out the importance of building strong relationships in marriage.
😭😭 very painful,,,I hv gone through this twice,,,,,and,,,,this is the most dangerous time ever in live,,,,Let me stop there,,,,is only God who understands.
Elizabeth I speak peace and comfort to you. Very sorry for your loss! May God bring into your rest!
I have cried so much because Julie said that there was no devil in this.... I lost my son in labour last year and I never gave the devil no credit for it. There was no way he could touch my baby, I refused to believe the devil had a hand in it. Seeing a Pastor broken because of such a loss and has come out of it really is encouraging.
During my baby shower I had told my friends that my son was a miracle, a testimony of the doing of God. I will confirm one thing though, it was hard picking out his name, but I had settled with Yanza meaning love after so many struggles . There's nothing more painful in this world more than losing a child, it is the worst. Everything about Yanza's pregnancy was perfect.. I just never got answers, even now as I watch Julie and Pr. Pete give their story it's hard because I relate in every part. God help us, we trust in you to restore us and rebuild us.
Receive full restoration in Jesus name! You are a testimony waiting to happen in Jesus name 🙏🏽
Baby Yanza will forever be remembered.I am so sorry for your loss
Wooow am so encouraged to continue waiting on God. Halleluya finally we thank God he came and you have a testimony.
He did because He is faithful!!! 🙏🏽
I'm encouraged 🙌🏽 God is always Faithful
That He is! Trust in him with all your heart, mind and soul! 🙏🏽
My take home.....facing adversity, building resilience and finding joy. Thank you Pastor Pete and Julie for sharing your story. I have cut onions.....I have been encouraged, I have learnt a lot. Thank you.
Vivian clearly you have learnt much here… pole about the onions but I’m sure the meal was great at the end! 😅
more grace , more grace
Indeed 🙏🏽
Am happy couples are talking about miscarriage this days, more couples go through this, and it bring healing, may God continue blessing your Marriage.
This I have watched to the very end and I am encouraged
🙏🏽
Another level of Faith just brewed in me. Truly our God restores.
Live up to your name Faith and see the Lord strength you in all your seasons!
❤was very emotional! Bless you all so much!
Thanks Winnie. God bless you too!
wow wow.I have felt death like you my family members Pete and Julie.For me it has been loss of jobs, loss of favour, marriage nothing',debt, and sometimes like you I have wanted to give up.My wilderness has been long,Sometimes I ask God where are we going and now I have found peace in God.Your testimony has brought tears but I have liked your testimony.I know in due season I will testify.Thank you,.May God bless you and your family.
Amen Ruth... May you find peace, comfort and purpose on this journey! 🙏🏽
I don’t this family but they have spoken life to me ,you are a diamond ,May God bless you and take that ministry international ,the world needs you,blessings I pray .
Amen and Amen. I second that 💯
This is the most emotional story I have ever watched .....Lord you are good 😢😢😢😢 and your boys are sooo beautiful...God how Faithful you are
God is good ALL THE TIME!
Thank you very much Pastor Pete and Julie for being so gracious in sharing the story of your loss, grief journey, resilience and finding joy. May God use you to help couples who are going through pain to find healing and live again.
Pastor Don may God bless you for guiding the discussion with insight, empathy and wisdom.
Asante sana for your kind words 🙏🏽
This interview is very professionally done, I am glad that after all the pain they have realized purpose to the pain and I like the restoration and how it was birthed out of a place of walking in agreement as a couple and with God. Love always wins....Very very powerful, I have learnt a lot from your experiences Pastor Pete and Julie.....Thankyou for sharing, I needed this
God bless you Mary and many thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏽
Wow!! This was a testimony of Gods goodness and faithfulness. I realize the medical fraternity is frail when it comes to how we deliver and handle giving bad news. As an Obgyn i will confess to occassionally almost with years of experience feeling numb. i have now learned to seek getting counselors involved and getting counseling as well to deal with clients who loose their babies. Hospitals need proper protocols that help clients deal with grief and the life lost. Asante for this wonderful episode
Thanks Daktari for your insights… Yes we all need some TLC in the world today… in all sectors! 🙏🏽
I have cried so much 😢.
Bless your heart 🫂
Hugs to you both. The pain of losing loved ones only God can massage the pain
Yes that’s 💯
What a test and testimony ❤.i love the part Julie said she can even get pregnant by looking in his eyes 😊
WOW!!!! This is the very best episode i have ever come through. your story is one that has encouraged me most and for sure God will never disappoint those who trust in Him. thanks a lot and pastor Pete and Julie, May you know that as from today you are my mentors .
They are ready to mentor… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
