Bishop Ben Kiengei’s wife, Rev Joy Benson, has recently been absent from church services, sparking curiosity and concern among congregants and netizens alike. Known for their strong partnership and frequent appearances together at church events, Rev Joy’s recent absence has not gone unnoticed.
The couple, who have two children, Arsene and June, have been regarded as a shining example of a loving and supportive Christian family. They often attend services together, holding hands and ministering side by side, which has endeared them to many fans and church members. However, in recent weeks, worshippers have observed that Rev Joy has missed church for two consecutive Sundays, raising questions and speculation on social media.
Videos and photos shared by churchgoers show Bishop Kiengei arriving at services and charity events alone, a notable change from the usual sight of the couple together. This shift has led to various theories among followers, with some suggesting that Rev Joy might be busy with work commitments or other engagements that have kept her away from the public eye.
Despite the buzz, neither Rev Joy nor Bishop Kiengei has publicly addressed the reasons behind her absence. The silence has only fueled further speculation, with some netizens expressing concern for her well-being. Comments on social media range from simple inquiries about her health to hopes that she is still actively involved in spreading the gospel, possibly in less visible ways.
Fans have voiced their sentiments openly, with many expressing how much they miss seeing her at church. Some wonder if she might be visiting family or involved in ministry work outside the usual church setting. Still, others remain hopeful that whatever the cause, she and Bishop Kiengei will soon be reunited in the public eye as they have been in the past.
The couple has built a reputation for being devoted not only to their faith but also to each other. Their relationship is often highlighted as a positive example of marriage and partnership within their community. Rev Joy’s absence has therefore felt like a significant change to many who have come to admire the couple’s visible unity and mutual support.
In the past, Bishop Kiengei has been candid about his personal life, once addressing rumors about his marital status during a church service. He firmly denied allegations of infidelity involving a city businesswoman, clarifying that he has only one wife—Rev Joy. Their relationship has had its complexities; Bishop Kiengei married Rev Joy as his second wife after divorcing his first wife, Keziah wa Kariuki, who recently moved to the United States with their daughter.
As the community awaits more news, the focus remains on the well-being of Rev Joy Benson and the unity of the family. Whether she is simply occupied with private matters or engaged in ministry work away from the limelight, her absence has certainly been felt by many who admire and support the couple. For now, all eyes remain hopeful for her return to the pulpit and church services alongside Bishop Kiengei.
