- Isn't it funny how we easily we make and commit to plans for the day, week, year. We don't know that our lives can turn in a moment. Annie and Sharon (Shazz) were going about their day having made plans for the afternoon. They recount their experience inside the Westgate shopping mall during the terrorist attack in 2013. This is a beautiful story of courage, faith, resilience and the beauty of family.

Good God! Did anyone notice how Anne recited psalms 91? This is the best testimony I've heard so far. We serve a mighty God don't we?💕💕💕💕💕
They have really peaceful voices.
I just love how eloquent they are
Been avoiding this video for some reason but today I decided to play it and now I understand why the devil tried to stop me from watching it. Am blessed and so encouraged. Laughed and cried. God bless you ladies. I love your father's approach in prayers indeed we should believe when we pray. God answers prayers as long as we believe He will.
Kweli, undugu ni kufaana sio kufanana. The lessons are powerful. These girls are a product of good parenting.
This is so powerful!!!I have laughed and cried.The Nderitu sisters are great story tellers.
Double X Agenda such great story tellers!!
Indeed
100%
Double X Agenda they sound very happy!
They truly are 🙏🙏🙏
This sounds like our story... On that day we were on first floor with my younger sister... Jesus saved us
Emmah Mwangi praise God
Wow..Yes,Jesus saved you😘
Oh My Emmah Mwangi praise the heavens u r fine. sorry for the bad experience.
Amen
halleluya
I am in South Africa.. We heard ad abt the shooting... Some Kenyans asked us to pray for u. I was worried for pple tht I have never met or seen... I was worried about the Christians who were being killed. I am glad to hear your story... God is great. We thank him for taking care of u
This brought tears to my eyes. They fit in some humor into the narration but you can feel the emotions, the rawness of the situation. Glad I watched it. We surely take being alive to see another day for granted.
Such amazing storytellers 😂😂😂 even though it was a horrible experience
That's a miracle right there and players are answered for sure ! God bless you the Nderitus
SisiYemmieTV they seem very happy!
The humour..You are beautiful women .God bless you!
Am a survivor and i still can't find this funny am still cold in the stomach but very very comforting that you two can laugh and are healing well. Thanks.
you have hugged me!
All the best!
Lizzie Wangari, you too will heal. Psalm 23 my dear.
Rekindled my faith in Christ, may you be blessed with long life to encourage more
I like her statement, that their Daddy was armed with only a prayer when he went looking for them. The most powerful statement I have heard in a while, just like Queen Esther did, this gentleman was pushed only by the powers of a prayer. May the wonderful name of God be praised!
The composure in the two ladies is of another level. So eloquent and structured.
I remember when i heard about the westgate thing, i was not understanding what was happening, i was miles away form Nairobi, but without knowing what was happening i went straight to my room, down on my knees on my carpet, i cried to the Lord like never before, for the souls inside the mall, God heard my prayer because many were rescued and i thank him up to date.
judith kilonzo this has brought fresh memories. I was in high school when it happened and I remember gathering with a couple of classmates in the dormitory, knelt, genuinely cried and prayed to God for the lives of everyone and His will was done.
Awesome ladies! Indeed our God is the same yesterday,today and forever. Ever faithful.God bless you cuties.
There is something about these ladies...so peaceful yet the message in their narration speaks out so loud...too much love ladies, Maybe God allowed you to go through that experience so that at least the world gets to see your awesomeness...i just cant get enough of this video..watching it all the time especially the part where Annie recites Psalms 91.....Annie you are on the top of my "should meet list"
Annie looks like Oprah Winfrey!! Love you girls,this was well told.
Steven George yes she looks alike..beautiful gals
LOL..I wanted to keep saying that, but there's no one around me to say that to.
rubanikq2 you have Steve. Oprah's child here
Steven George LOL...thanks. It would have been funnier if we watched it at the same time
I thought so...😉😉
Absolutely superbly delivered. You painted your unfortunate yet fortunate reality so beautifully. Thank you for sharing. They say, 'Caring is sharing'.
A traumatizing experience narrated with grace and a sense of humor. Elegance and resilience just oozes out naturally from the two ladies
I have learnt a lot from them, but the main thing that struck me is how once you've gone through something that rocks you to the core, no matter what it is, someday you can look back and share it with ease
Have been skipping this for a while for i thought it would be traumatic...i'm glad i clicked on it in 2020. My faith is strengthen! There's power in prayer for sure!
Beautiful girls with nice voices I just love there everything and what an inspiring story it was.
Powerful story. I'm moved to tears. Thank you for sharing.
Best thing I have watched in a long time!!!! ❤🇰🇪
Msoh Shaffer 😂😂 hata wewe uko huku? Great tellers🙌👌❤
And Im watching this now?? The best video on these TH-cam streets in 2018..
Thank you Gloria. Keep watching and spread the word.
Gloria Okello me too. So touched.
Powerful!...I am crying but I cannot stop thinking of how God is a miracle worker who watches over his people❤💯👑
Nyoona Majimbo did no one die? They seem very happy?
@@irenedavo3768 They said very well , they r very thankful coz they survived.....not everyone survived....learn to listen well
Wow! What a story and a true testimony to how God works Annie and Sharon, I loved it. And I like the humour the two of you could see in it, which tells me that you were indeed comforted by the fact that you had God's angels protecting you and those you were with, in the midst of the tragedy and mortal danger you were facing. I just broke down and cried when you said you saw your dad coming in to look for the both of you, because I believe mine would do the same if I was faced with a similar situation. God bless. God is good and faithful, let us look to Him for help and lean on Him in good and in bad times. His grace is sufficient always.

Wangare two very happy Women?
This storu made me realise that i need their trype of aura in my life
Pure zen bliss
I used to say dropping some tears 😢 is for the weak, see now it just happened to me and I don't know how...
Oh my God, the tears I have cried...ladies, your father has my greatest admiration. His courage has reminded me of the love of God our father and my biological father.
It is no mean fit to recount and recall the horrific and traumatizing details of that dreaded day; However, I thank God that through it all the blood of Jesus was upon you and those around you, and you lived to tell the tale of this grand testimony. Thank you God.
They are such great narrators but most importantly this is a story of hope, a story of life and a story of a second chance. A chance to live right, extend love, cherish others and thank God for what we term minor without knowing how priceless it is. I am in a loss for the right words.
What an incredibly deep illustration of trauma, death, resilience, strong will and faith in God
The God factor, the father factor and the mother factor! what an impact the lives of Annie and Shazz. am blessed.
This story made me 😢😢😢Yes their is power in PRAYERS, thank God for praying Parents espically their Dad.👏👏👏✌✌✌❤❤❤
This was quite a conversation. We cannot underestimate the power of God in life. What a tragedy it was. But I loved the way you two told the story.
I have watched this with tears and laughter. The Nderitu girls are amazing!
Still wondering whether to laugh or cry. Thanks Annie. Thanks Sharon. You are both very beautiful.
My adoration for these ladies is immense. They looks between the two of them speaks volumes about their bond and their story is powerful. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Being so soft spoken is perfect as story tellers. Emotional, hilarious and compassionate throughout.
I have come across many inspirational stories, and this one from our 2 beautiful sisters takes the gold medal. A manisfestation of true beauty and faith. Right now, l just need a hug from you Annie and Shaniz.
Sharon and Annie Nderitu, you both are Gods Truth and power of Gods grace and mercy. This is soo powerful! God bless you, your families , those who made it out and who lost their lives. I say a prayer for you all as I watched this. Thank you for sharing your story
What a nice story.......i think they were brought up very loving. Some of us viboko viboko 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Ugh. I wish all dads were like this. Such a powerful story. God bless everyone that survived
Just a beautiful narration...love this two ladies.
Reminds me of a day years back when someone raised the alarm of an armed robbery at my workplace...I looked around...everyone scampering&screaming. I was applying makeup at the time&by the look of things we were cornered...so what do i do...I continue applying makeup calmly as I prayed&told Jesus I am coming home beautifully that's if the robbers don't listen to my pleas. God gave me such calmness&it turned out to be a false alarm😆
😂😂😂
WOW, what a story??the dad has such a strong faith!! may the almighty give us such faith
The power of prayer. Especially that of a father. God answers. Love the way the ladies tell this story. We may not always understand why things happen. I remember shazz telling me about her experience immediately it happened. The story about the girl reading the book has never left me till his day.
This is soo moving, wooooi tears😨😰am beyond tears, and yes my dad would have come to get me; and once you go through a crisis like this, it changes your perspective in life and you value your family soo much more. You appreciate each and every moment you have with them,family is a true treasure. Trauma makes you understand others better and have true empathy.
I can spare some time so that i can just listen to the both of them as they do take turns to speak. Their voices are just so sweet and pure.
Ohhh the Lord blinded the gun man.. We have a miracle working God.. He is a God of big things... He made u meet with your dad... U made my day. I am here depressed and God made me watch this video...
I have never watched a story that has made me laugh amid sobbing...this one did.... God bless you Annie and Sharon...your faith and resilience is amazing!
God is great through him...the most beautiful stories are made!
I really like how they talk,,there is so much love between them aki waah...they r so sweet.,God saved u girls for a reason
The relationship between this sisters is something I always wished I could have. But, I was an only child. . 24 years later, I got a brother :)
Woow this so touching and how u gals found a sense of humour in it despite the traumatizing moment I just love it. Truly God is faithful
Many years later,I am still searching for this story. They both have such a soothing voice
May Allah azawajal bless your dad and all dad's in Sha Allah amin
the world should see this😍😍.Oh my beautifully told..It's not easy to tell such a story but God's Grace is evident.Y'all are blessed..annie is so humorous i kid you not.Bless you two😍😍😍..THE POWER OF PRAYER.

Apart from everything else let me just say there hair is beautiful

Beautiful sisters. Sharon has the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.
how do I get to express myself like that I admire the gracefulness you ladies have above all this you can tell your story boldly without tearing up...
Shazz and Annie are literally among my favorite people in the world and I'm so glad they're still here!!
Wow best thing I have listened to in a long time. This is a sermon. The selfie taking kikuyu girl just left me in stitches
Very Engaging talk...and very illuminating. Thanks Annie and Shazz for sharing. Barikiweni
We thank God for his mercies are new every morning. I can only imagine how horrific the situation was and looking back you can now narrate it with a smile and humour. I hope you have found a new psalm of thanksgiving and praise.
Am so touched n motivated by Anne and Sharon's story.May God Bless them and their Parents...To God Be the Glory.
Am in tears! the power of praying parents!
You are amazing story tellers. Eloquent, well spoken with beautiful narration to keep an audience glued. This was the first one I watched in the Engage talk series and honestly you set the bar so high no other story in the series is told as captivatingly as yours. So glad you made it out alive and well.
Omg!
You two are amazing! May the Good Lord use you to spread love and peace!
I don’t know you, but I love and respect you!
Wow! Such an amazing story told by 2 amazing women who found a sweet and humourous way of telling such a tragic story. May God's grace continue to be sufficient for the families that lost their loved ones. Your dad indeed is a hero!
This is so emotional, shows you the strength of prayer and trust in God, how far a parent can be willing to go for his children. For sure God is faithful and these 2 sisters will live to testify that. Their way of narration is also amazing; engaging and with a sense of humor.
So powerful! Best story i have heard in a long time- on faith, family, love and a dads love for his girls!
So interesting I am not east Africa but this talk was really encouraging and well explained

What a deep story.
I like their storytelling. These ladies are talented
These beautiful sisters have reminded me of the power of sisterhood, family and friendship. In between i would have cried but the humor kept my tears off. God's love keeps us going.
What a powerful story of the power of faith and prayer. These girls are very beautiful and well spoken. It is amazing how they managed to tell this story with humour and leave us all tearing. God bless your family.
Best thing i have wached this year🖤❤God's love never fails
Thanks for sharing your story. Jesus sticks closer than a brother.
Had tears in between laughter...and it’s such a mess to hear a tragic story being narrated and all I can say is, Annie & Shazz have touched hearts in some way and may the grace of God continue being with us as we go about our daily lives. God bless 🙏🏼
It has brought memories of the day, I was on the 1st floor Dtb bank....going about my business and was finishing errands to go bring my niece to the kids party....but the attack happened .....I was evacuated @ 6:30.....
I can't get enough of this story,. The narrators of the story are great ladies and the story is mind blowing.. How they tell this story calmly is something else.
Thanks for sharing this incredible real life story.So touching,talk of humour in midst of real danger.Thank you Jesus for the gift of our lives.May the soul of the faithful departed who passed on that day rest in eternal peace.Amen!
Our Heavenly Father is So Faithful to His Children... Nimesikia so many Testimonies but this was great full of fresh lessons... God Has truly hidden our strengths in us...we are so Special... God bless you girls......
What a Might God we serve? The power of prayer 🙏🏿.#FaithIstheVictory
So intense, so emotional, funny as well. All I can say is God is faithful. God is great. 🙏
It was a miracle for you and God is faithful. We lost a brother in-law(my husband's elder brother). A friend,a brother,a son,a dad,a granddad,a husband,a civil servant...he was many things. We have never recovered.
Thank you for sharing...may the good Lord continue in your families what he has started ,my prayer for you is thanks giving for God saved you to share, encourage and teach..Godbless
.
I know God you can do big things but just do this small thing for me....that was deep. This talk gave me faith and yes i crieeed!
Resilience is a gift.
Very great character Annie, she can smile even when she has a headache.
Beautiful well spoken ladies.
Oh my! This story has made me cry and at the same time laugh. God bless these two lovely women! 😍😍😍
It's a nourishment in every part of life and really am touched and my love for Jesus grew too
