- 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
Kweli, undugu ni kufaana sio kufanana. The lessons are powerful. These girls are a product of good parenting.
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.
I love how they lovingly look at each other as they take turns talking thru the events of their story
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%

This sounds like our story... On that day we were on first floor with my younger sister... Jesus saved us
Emmah Mwangi praise God

Oh My Emmah Mwangi praise the heavens u r fine. sorry for the bad experience.

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.

All the best!
Lizzie Wangari, you too will heal. Psalm 23 my dear.
The composure in the two ladies is of another level. So eloquent and structured.
God does the impossibilities
He's Worthy to be praised
The only Armed their dad was "ONLY PRAYERS "
PRAYERS IS VERY POWERFUL....
All the Glory unto Him....
Saudi Arabia watching
Mungu Tu Aitwe Mungu
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.
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
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!
Rekindled my faith in Christ, may you be blessed with long life to encourage more
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...😉😉
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.
Absolutely superbly delivered. You painted your unfortunate yet fortunate reality so beautifully. Thank you for sharing. They say, 'Caring is sharing'.
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!
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"
And Im watching this now?? The best video on these CZcams streets in 2018..
Thank you Gloria. Keep watching and spread the word.
Gloria Okello me too. So touched.
Best thing I have watched in a long time!!!! ❤🇰🇪
Msoh Shaffer 😂😂 hata wewe uko huku? Great tellers🙌👌❤
This story made me 😢😢😢Yes their is power in PRAYERS, thank God for praying Parents espically their Dad.👏👏👏✌✌✌❤❤❤
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
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!
Powerful story. I'm moved to tears. Thank you for sharing.
This storu made me realise that i need their trype of aura in my life
Pure zen bliss
What an incredibly deep illustration of trauma, death, resilience, strong will and faith in God
What a nice story.......i think they were brought up very loving. Some of us viboko viboko 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Beautiful girls with nice voices I just love there everything and what an inspiring story it was.
The God factor, the father factor and the mother factor! what an impact the lives of Annie and Shazz. am blessed.
I used to say dropping some tears 😢 is for the weak, see now it just happened to me and I don't know how...
Many years later,I am still searching for this story. They both have such a soothing voice
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 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.
Ugh. I wish all dads were like this. Such a powerful story. God bless everyone that survived
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.
Still wondering whether to laugh or cry. Thanks Annie. Thanks Sharon. You are both very beautiful.
I have watched this with tears and laughter. The Nderitu girls are amazing!
WOW, what a story??the dad has such a strong faith!! may the almighty give us such faith
Your dad is a hero. I salute him because he relied on the power of prayer. My dad would've done the same i know. Be blessed you both. You've been to hell and back amd still standing strong.
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.
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.
ONIONS!!!!!!!!!! So proud of Annie & Sharon. Proud of you. Can't have been easy. God conquers!! Also..... kindly use less onions next time or i'll be forced to make an eye salad :)
Thank you David. I wonder what an eye salad would like? Noted on the onions. Would garlic make a suitable replacement?
I cut onions through out 😩
You're such strong ladies,I rem that day i had just left nakumatt before the incident started!!I lost 2 good friends😢,nd evrytym i came to shop there i neva passed them without a ✋,I morned them everyday till now i always light a candle for them,,I neva went bck to nakumatt again😢,it's been long,wish i could be strong like you ladies
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
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😆
😂😂😂
I am sobbing because I don't have such a father. These girls are are so lucky and blesses
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
Apart from everything else let me just say there hair is beautiful
Linnet Mbotto their hair
Linnet Mbotto ......there?where???☝
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.
What a story. Love the way these two sisters have shared their experience. So glad you lived to tell the tale. God bless
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.
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.
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 :)
What a deep story.
I like their storytelling. These ladies are talented
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.
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.....
May Allah azawajal bless your dad and all dad's in Sha Allah amin
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.
Beautiful ladies...great storytelling skills. In tears and laughter at the same time! Love these ladies!
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...
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
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.
True....
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.
Very very encouraging Sharon and Annie. I am so glad that you lived to tell the story.
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
.
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.
I love how you told the story with so much humor and yet it was such a horrific day. I am so sorry that you had to go through it but then again from these traumatic experiences is where beautiful transformational stories are born. Thank you for sharing your story and God continue to bless you and anoint you immensely.
Ladies your story inspires a lot of hope! I love the calm in your voices. You painted a great picture felt like I was there with you. You are great story tellers
For some reason I keep seeing this video and finally I watched it and now I’m so glad I did. These ladies are articulate and well spoken and a testament of the fear of God and great family upbringing, well done 👍🏽
Amazing! The father as a protector shines through for me. Bravo ladies, even for sharing your story, and throwing onions in!!
Am so touched n motivated by Anne and Sharon's story.May God Bless them and their Parents...To God Be the Glory.

The ladies had me in tears!!! What a testimony! Thank you for 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
So interesting I am not east Africa but this talk was really encouraging and well explained
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.
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
This is such a beautiful touching story, I have wept and their beautiful souls shine through.. loved it
Am glad I finally watched this video, So many great lessons in it. I could listen to you both all day long. God bless you Annie and Shazz.

Thank you for your story .... I have laughed and cried,and my heart loves God even deeper. Thank you again for sharing
May God bless and your families too. Such an inspiration msg. Though l could not hold my tears but l like your spirit and the fact that u believe in your parents prayers.
Wow! I'm speechless! Too touching and so inspirational.
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!
When Annie started to recite Psalm 91, I just broke into tears. Thanks ladies for this very real narrative.
