Charlene Ruto recently walked down the aisle, just two years after publicly requesting evangelist Benny Hinn to pray for God to send her a husband, a moment that at the time attracted widespread ridicule across social media.
The story resurfaced over the weekend when a TikTok video stitched together footage from that original prayer gathering with clips from Charlene’s wedding ceremony, held under a white draped canopy at what appeared to be an Africa Inland Church venue in Tanzania.
The Prayer That Drew Laughter
During the indoor church event, a preacher interceded fervently on Charlene’s behalf, asking God to send her a husband who would match her calling and walk alongside her in ministry.
“Give her a husband that will fulfil that call with her, Lord. Send that young man her way. It will be a strength to her, a great support to her. She cannot do this alone, Lord,” the minister prayed before the congregation.
He continued: “She’s going into the battlefield to win souls, to save souls away from the enemy’s camp. She needs a husband, Lord, and she needs that husband soon.”
After the prayer, the minister asked the young woman her name.
When she said “Charlene,” he responded warmly, telling her the sky was the limit and urging her to “go get them, girl.” Many who watched that footage at the time chose to mock rather than support her.
Two Years Later, Charlene Ruto Says Her Vows
The second half of the viral video tells a different story. Standing before family and guests, Charlene read her wedding vows with unmistakable conviction.
“I vow to be your helper, your strongest and steadiest support system, to listen to all your ideas and dreams and help you implement them,” she said. “I vow to love you, to cherish you all the days of my life, to be your lover, your best friend, your confidant and your prayer partner.”
The clip carried an on-screen caption reading “2 Years Later,” framing the moment as a direct answer to that once-mocked prayer.
