“I Led Worship While My Wife Was Losing Our Babies” — Nathaniel Bassey’s Heart-Rending Testimony Of Faith Through Five Miscarriages

Gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey has opened up about a deeply painful chapter in his life — the period his wife, Sarah, suffered five miscarriages, including an ectopic pregnancy, even as he led the globally followed Hallelujah Challenge.

The Hallelujah Challenge is a month-long online praise and worship session that gathers thousands of believers across the world to sing, pray, and testify. But behind the joyful music, Bassey revealed, were nights of silent heartbreak.

Speaking during the early hours of Friday while leading the ongoing edition, Bassey recounted how he continued to host worship sessions even as his wife battled loss and pain in the hospital.

“My wife will have to forgive me,” he began emotionally. “Do you know there were times during the Hallelujah Challenge when we had a miscarriage, and nobody knew? I would still come online to praise and dance. A few years ago, she was in the hospital with an ectopic pregnancy. I would leave, lead praise and worship online, then return to the hospital, and the nurses attending to her would tell me, ‘It was powerful tonight.’ Not one, not two, not three, or four pregnancies, but five.”

Through tears and faith, Bassey said he never stopped worshipping, insisting that God’s faithfulness remains constant, even in suffering.

“So when people say, ‘Where is God?’ I say, I understand. God is faithful. One of the words He gave us was, ‘Don’t give up on God.’”

Nathaniel and Sarah Bassey, married since 2013, are today blessed with two children — a son and a daughter — living proof, he says, that God’s promises never fail.
