During a session of the ongoing “Hallelujah Challenge” in October 2025, Nigerian gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey revealed that his wife, Sarah Bassey, has suffered five miscarriages, including one ectopic pregnancy.1
Speaking to his online audience, Bassey shared that these personal tragedies occurred during a period when he was leading the global virtual praise and worship program.2 He said that he would sometimes leave his wife in the hospital and return to lead the Hallelujah Challenge without anyone knowing about their family’s grief.
Bassey’s testimony was meant to encourage believers to remain steadfast in their faith, even in the face of immense challenges. The couple married in 2013, and their story of perseverance is now being shared as a testament to God’s faithfulness despite pain.3
