Musician Karangu Muraya is over the moon as the man who first held his hand and took him to church as a little boy finally got married to the love of his life.
Macharia becomes lonely
In 2022, Muraya marshalled his online troops, and they contributed money to build the struggling Macharia Wa Gathuri a house. However, it became clear that the man was lonely in that house, and the quest to get him a wife started.

"This is the sweetest thing that Jehovah has done to me at the end of this year....this man Mr Machari I call him dad because when I was a young boy, he took me to church. I have been thinking of how I can transform his life, and that's why early last year, we built him a beautiful house where he has been living alone," he said.
"I have been paying a lot of money at Bidii hotel every month to ensure that he is always well...finally, Jehovah has heard my prayers, and soon I can smell a wedding," he added.
At some point, the looked between Macharia and the beautiful lady fell apart, and at the time, Muraya attributed the breakup to enemies of progress who didn't want the two to prosper.
"When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen (Isaiah 60:22). I wish to express gratitude to everyone who supported this noble activity. Mr & Mrs Macharia are excited about your endless and unconditional love," said an excited Muraya.
"On my behalf, may the good lord bless you abundantly & exceedingly. As we document this event as a testimony that nobody can stop the Lord's blessings, may you be part of it! To the newly wedded couple, may long life be your portion. I wish you happiness in the next phase of life. Congratulations. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate," he added on August 20.
