00:00At 3.48 I heard my son cry and I don't know how to explain to anybody who was watching
00:07but it was the best feeling in the world. I remember just saying thank you Jesus,
00:11recording the time. I didn't know whether to cry, to jump, the emotions were so much at that point.
00:22My name is Stephen Biko Babu. We are connected from Nairobi, Kenya. The person sitting next to
00:27me is my lovely and very beautiful wife Dorcas Mazune as well as our son. Our testimony begins
00:34in late 2024 December where it was the very first time that we got pregnant. This was after a while
00:43wanting to be pregnant. We have been married for 10 years. February 14th was 10 years. We wanted to
00:51have a baby of our own, a child to call our own and over the years of course there were
00:59those
00:59for people who are connecting you to get some of these comments like you've been together for so
01:04long why don't you have a child and all that and it used to bother us a little bit but
01:08we left it all
01:09for God. So around December we did confirm that we were pregnant but around March 11th we suffered a
01:19miscarriage. Around March 11th my wife started bleeding and then when we went to the hospital
01:25they couldn't figure out what was happening so we had to go for an ultrasound scan and then when we
01:29went for the scan the sonographer told us that it was a blighted ovum. So basically what that meant
01:36was that they told us that the genes did not communicate so the baby is not there and of course
01:43that came with a lot of sad emotions a lot of tough emotions. I remember just hearing that and just
01:50I was in the sonographer's office I just broke down and sat down and really cried and even just trying
01:55to tell my family that all this had happened really I couldn't say it without crying. So that was March
02:02of
02:022025. At that point since we confirmed the pregnancy in December of 2024 we were about three months pregnant
02:07when we suffered the miscarriage. It came a little bit as a shock to all of us but for me
02:15personally
02:16speaking it was it was one of those times where I had to now go back and see what God
02:23was trying to do
02:23in my life and just go back to every psalm and go back to everything I've read in the Bible
02:29and I did find strength. So throughout the whole month we were told to just go back home
02:34that the baby would pass on on its own or rather the placenta would pass on its own according to
02:40the
02:40doctors. So we just went there but as we were sitting at home we were watching these testimonies
02:45and there was a lady called Molenga from Zambia who had I think two miscarriages if I'm not wrong.
02:51I specifically began to pray along with brother Chris. So we were praying as we were praying
02:58I just felt like vomiting. Even before the prayers could end I started rejoicing. The same month
03:09January 2023 God answered our prayers. I conceived the same month January.
03:19And just listening to her testimony was just a really huge encouragement for us
03:24because it it gave us hope. It gave us hope that we are not alone. It showed us when
03:29and then it reminded us that God is still at work. So my wife was actually in the kitchen
03:34washing dishes and cooking. I was watching the testimony on tv and she actually came and sat down
03:40with me and we watched together and after it finished we just held each other's hands
03:44without saying a word we just knew everything is going to be okay. So as much as it was a
03:49tough
03:50time for me it was a really good spiritual turning point because that painful situation really pushed
03:55me towards God. I wanted to serve God more and I wanted to read the there was that urge inside
04:01of
04:01me to just want to know to understand God more to create a better relationship with God because at
04:06that point I was still a lukewarm Christian. Let me put it like that. Like some days I'm hot,
04:12some days I'm cold which was which was really not good especially even according to the word of God.
04:17So in in doing this I saw the the call out for God's Heart TV looking for translators.
04:23I applied and by the grace of God God's Heart TV accepted me. So I was a Kiswahili translator and
04:29part
04:29of why I really wanted to be a Kiswahili translator was I saw how much that testimony touched me.
04:34So I wanted as many people to be able if they couldn't get it in English I wanted as many
04:39people to be
04:40able to hear these teachings, to hear the psalms, to hear the prayers and to also be touched. So that
04:45is part of the reason that motivated me to to apply. So I have been a God's Heart TV translator,
04:50a voluntary God's Heart TV translator for a while now and during that period I put my faith in God.
04:55So fast forward to around June at this point at this point we had kind of the pain had started
05:03subsiding a little bit but there was always just that you know there's that longing to hold your baby
05:09and around June we confirmed that we were pregnant again. When we confirmed this of course it was very
05:16joyous. I remember I had read in the morning the Bible God in in Chronicles God had said that you
05:22know
05:22when I bless you it's going to rain and I remember on that June it rarely rains in Nairobi in
05:28June but I
05:29remember it rained and it just touched my heart. At the same time around March I don't remember the exact
05:35date
05:35but my wife had had a dream. She woke up and she told me I've dreamt something really wonderful and
05:40I was like
05:40what did you dream? She told me I dreamt that brother Chris had visited us in our area of Kawangwari
05:46and he saw how worried she was and brother Chris told her do not worry your son is asleep he
05:53is coming
05:54and I know it was not brother Chris I know it was Jesus speaking through brother Chris because we
05:59spent quite a lot of time watching God's heart tv and with obviously some summons from from his time
06:04at school and so it gave us a lot of encouragement and this is something that I really held on
06:09to just
06:09like Mary in the Bible I was putting everything that I was being told I was putting inside my heart
06:14and using it to build my faith. So in June of 2025 we confirmed that we're pregnant again. Of course
06:22we start off
06:22cautiously. Part of us were like oh maybe it was something we did wrong but we have to calm down
06:28and
06:28and we're like no let's not waste this. God was trying to teach us something. God was trying to show
06:32us
06:32something. There was something that we needed to to learn from from all that. It went on well June, July
06:39but then again in August 11th again which is very coincidental I came back from school my wife was at
06:46home
06:46and then she tells me I've bled again but when she she tells me this time the second time I
06:53don't
06:53I don't break down I don't cry. There was a certain peace that I had in my heart because in
06:59my heart
07:00I told myself my my son is asleep he's coming that's what you said God you said my son is
07:06asleep
07:06he's coming and I just held on to that so my wife was a bit worried but I was like
07:10you know what I'm
07:11I didn't allow fear to come in so I I remember I just said thank you Jesus and I said
07:18God I do not
07:18know what is happening but I leave it all into your hands so she kept bleeding for about two months
07:24so
07:24every morning she would tell me oh I've bled in the evening she'd she tell me the same thing and
07:29this
07:29went on for two straight months and then at the peak of it all there was this point where she
07:36came and
07:36told me that she had started bleeding again and then she told me she bled continuously for four
07:41hours so in my heart I'm very worried because I'm like oh this is the second miscarriage but I'm like
07:47you know what I don't know what you're doing God but I trust you and I remember it was at
07:52this point
07:52that I was also translating brother Chris I remember vividly brother Chris had Josiah had just come
07:58and I was doing the video where he was doing a letter to Josiah and part of that video was
08:02just like
08:03I don't remember what he said exactly but it was to the tune of the pain is there right now
08:08but the
08:09pain shall pass submitting to God's process does not necessarily bypass the pain
08:20but the pain will pass John chapter 16 verse 21 and I held on to these words even as I
08:28was
08:29translating I was reading English and I was also praying in Kiswahili and I was like one day I
08:33will also have my son to hold but not to keep and these words really really really wrong so
08:39during this time of course there are points where I'm worried but I go back to the Bible I go
08:44back
08:44to the word of God the foundation of it all and when she tells me she's bled for four hours
08:50uh when she goes she tells me she has checked she tells me she doesn't see blood but she she
08:55saw a
08:56clear liquid so I'm like I even got I was had broken a little bit more because I was like
09:00oh this is
09:01now the amniotic fluid and if the baby does not have the amniotic fluid of course now the baby does
09:05not have a home so I say thank you Jesus and I continue to pray I continue to um I
09:10move on
09:11two weeks after this my wife we were praying with my wife in church after finishing the prayer my wife
09:17comes and tells me we were just sitting down and talking and then my wife tells me that she's felt
09:21a
09:21kick in her stomach I remember looking at her very very much confused but then I was like you know
09:27what God you you split the Red Sea you fed manna and quail you raised the dead you there is
09:35nothing
09:35impossible and I really held on to that faith I really held on I went back to every possible miracle
09:40that I could in the Bible and I was like I'm going to hold on to this faith and slowly
09:44by slowly my wife
09:45just tells me I can feel the baby turn I can feel the baby kick and we all kept quiet
09:50with it we're
09:51just like celebrating and she would sometimes come and say come and feel it and I would touch the belly
09:56and then I would feel the kick and I'll be like praise God thank you Jesus and I'm like I
10:00cover the
10:00baby with the blood of Jesus and I'd pray over the baby and each time I'd pray over the baby
10:04I wouldn't
10:05say that this is my baby I would tell Jesus this is our baby and when I say our I'm
10:11I was telling
10:11Jesus not our me and my wife it was our baby me and Jesus so like Jesus protect our baby
10:18Jesus be
10:19with our baby so I would always tell him I will always tell him that and slowly by slowly her
10:25belly
10:25started showing which started now becoming a reality and it actually built my faith I started preparing
10:31for the baby knowing that no matter what even if the the bleeding happened for two months even if the
10:36amniotic fluid leaked out God is in control and he's about to do a powerful miracle I started noting
10:42everything down knowing that one day God will give me a chance to give my testimony on God's Heart TV
10:47just like Mulenga did so the pregnancy continued after that there was no more bleeding she didn't say
10:54anything about it so we at this point this is around 28 weeks we went for the clinic they did
11:01all the
11:01tests um and then it progressed up to the 36th week so the 36th week of pregnancy this is still
11:09considered preterm but she calls me and then she tells me I think I'm in labor so she says she's
11:14going through a lot of pain so I'm like you know what rush to hospital I'm still in school so
11:18I will
11:19rush and meet you uh in the hospital so when they go to do the scan the scan says she's
11:2336 weeks pregnant
11:24but the doctor says we see the placenta is for somebody who's 39 weeks pregnant you should be giving birth
11:30right now so it confuses us a little bit but we it we say you know what you get admitted
11:36we'll figure
11:36it out from there but when she got admitted I remember it was Thursday I don't remember the exact
11:40day and she was in labor for over 30 hours I remember it was Thursday Friday and it was very
11:48painful
11:48and it was really sad for me to to to see her in in that much pain but I remembered
11:54again brother Chris
11:55said as she labors in the ward room you labor with her in prayer so I was laboring in prayer
12:02uh doing
12:03all these things around the 35th hour she tells me uh the doctor has said we have to go for
12:08an emergency
12:08c-section in order to save the mother and the baby and I'm like god I go back and I
12:13said god I do not
12:14know what you're doing but I trust you so I tell them because they needed my approval so I tell
12:19them you
12:19know what go ahead with the c-section so they went ahead I remember rushing to hospital at around
12:243 in the morning and I arrived at hospital at 3 29 which is which was about one minute before
12:31they
12:31began the procedure and at 3 48 I heard my son cry and I don't know how to explain to
12:39anybody who was
12:40watching but it was the best feeling in the world I remember just saying thank you Jesus recording the
12:45time I didn't know whether to cry to jump the emotions were so much at that point but I remember
12:50hearing him cry and then I saw them getting wheeled off from the operation table and it was all I
12:57can
12:57say is all glory to Jesus right now I can sit and give this testimony I don't know who else
13:04to thank in
13:05fact there is no one else to thank except God I remember the first time I had the miscarriage
13:12I actually you know at that moment when I was told it's a blighted ovum and it's going to
13:20you're going to have a miscarriage I did not know how to react to that because imagine expecting and
13:27hoping for a child for a really long time and then the one time you told you're pregnant they tell
13:32you
13:32you know what this is not going to happen so and then after that the same year 2025 we went
13:38for the
13:38scan and they told me that after the miscarriage the way my wound is there is a possibility that
13:45I will not get pregnant again so after being told that and now a few months later I find out
13:52that I'm
13:52pregnant and so I was like okay doctors have told me there's no way I'm getting pregnant now I am
13:59bleeding that is why for the for the two months I didn't go to the hospital because I was choosing
14:05to
14:05believe what Jesus was saying about my situation I remember when we joined a prayer for brother
14:11Chris there was a live stream and we were praying for the fruit of the womb and we came in
14:18a little
14:18bit late we only got the the the part the the final part and the present worship yeah the final
14:24part
14:24and the present worship so I remember choosing to believe what God says about my situation and hoping
14:32and praying that you know I will get to hold my baby at some point and even through all this
14:40I was not
14:41questioning God I was not asking why me because I knew my purpose is to serve God whether he blesses
14:49me with a child or not I am here to serve him whether my prayer is is you know I
14:55pray and it comes to be or
14:56not I believe that at the end of the day I am a servant my purpose is to serve God
15:02and that is what
15:03I was holding on to for the two months that I was bleeding and then finally my amniotic fluid came
15:09out
15:10that is when I was like hey this one is gone because according to science and according to logic there
15:17is
15:17no way that I could have bled for so long and my pregnancy maintained around October is when we I
15:26felt the baby kick for the first time and I cried I did not believe that this is actually happening
15:32after being told you know what after the miscarriage your womb has a problem and you cannot be able to
15:37conceive again and after being told by doctors that this is not happening I believe that God had something
15:44to say about my situation and that's what I chose to believe and then from there when I went into
15:50labor for about 30 hours plus even in the labor room I kept on praying with psalms 51 I believe
15:58that
15:58I don't know what is happening but I know that you're in charge and you're in control so whether
16:03you bless me with this child at this moment when it is painful or not I will choose to serve
16:09I will choose to
16:11acknowledge that you're still God in my life because God is not God in my life just because of what
16:17he
16:17has done with or without the testimony he remains to be God because I believed this baby Chetelestai
16:25was given to me for a reason and I remember my husband was really happy when he saw
16:30brother Chris's Josiah's testimony and when I saw him that jovial I said I want to tap into that
16:38because if God can do it for brother Chris if God can do it for the lady that we watched
16:44and that is
16:45the main reason why I wanted to share my testimony because I remembered how much it uplifted me when I
16:51saw her with her child and the husband and they were testifying on God's glory it gave me hope because
16:58at that moment I was heartbroken but not destroyed so that is another reason why I said I want to
17:05say my
17:06testimony today because God did it for them and it encouraged me I would like you to encourage
17:11somebody else let me just grab him um so his name his name is uh Tetelestai Johanna Biko so Tetelestai
17:24is uh is
17:25Greek oh uh let me show so here here he oh wait yeah
17:34praise the lord
17:39okay please tell us the meaning of the name so Tetelestai is Greek it means it is finished
17:45it is one of the final words spoken by Jesus on the cross since 2021 we really said that whether
17:51it's a boy or a girl our firstborn is going to be called Tetelestai because it was so powerful when
17:56Jesus died for our sins and that that is the turning point of humanity so when he when Jesus says
18:01it is
18:02finished on the cross he basically said he has done everything he had finished his work now it is up
18:08to
18:08me to connect to him to tap into that relationship and then we named him Johanna Johanna is John uh
18:15in
18:15Kiswahili we named him after John the Baptist uh praying for the grace of God that he does the work
18:21that John the Baptist did my word of advice would be this at the end of the day God is
18:27going to remain
18:28God and he's going to do according to his will I remember when I saw blood flowing and at that
18:37moment
18:37the only thing that I could say was thank you Jesus because I knew the journey to what God has
18:44for you can sometimes not look like it's going to happen you're going to go through things that
18:51will make you start questioning whether or not God is going to do it for you he will do it
18:56not
18:56according to what you think but according to his will it will seem painful it will seem hard it will
19:04seem difficult but at the end of the day Jesus will do according to his will according to his
19:10purpose and at his timing because it took us we've been together for 10 years and people are asking us
19:17questions so when are you guys going to have a child and you know you can't tell someone you know
19:22it's a blessing from God and we cannot plan unless God gives us so to encourage somebody just know that
19:31it might not look the way you envision it to look for us to have a child according to his
19:37plan there was
19:38a miscarriage along the way but that did not mean that we are not going to hold a telestai it
19:44meant
19:44that his timing his purpose and his work was not yet done so to encourage somebody sometimes the path to
19:55that blessing to that job to that success will not look like what you expect it to but it will
20:02happen
20:03the only thing that i can add is just to encourage everybody to have a relationship with God like a
20:08personal relationship with Jesus because it is going to help you like you seek his heart always
20:13it's really going to help you both in good and in challenging times yes we we are here i know
20:20we are all
20:20here for different reasons but the main reason needs to be for our relationship with God to be at a
20:27better place than it was before we joined the session i conceived that that was in september not knowing
20:40that god has had his own plans so again in december 2023 november i had another miscarriage
