Renowned YouTuber and content creator Kabi wa Jesus has shared a moving tribute to the late gospel singer Betty Bayo, celebrating her unwavering faith and lasting impact on her community and family.
Remembering a Life of Faith and Devotion
Betty Bayo passed away on Monday, November 10, following a private battle with blood cancer. The celebrated gospel artist breathed her last at Kenyatta National Hospital, leaving behind her husband, children, and a legacy of powerful worship music and ministry.
In his tribute, Kabi wa Jesus highlighted Betty’s dedication to instilling spiritual values in children. “Betty taught her children to fast and pray from such a young age. I remember thinking they were too little to understand, but now I see how deeply it shaped them. That love for God — that fire she planted in their hearts — is the greatest gift she could have ever left them,” he wrote.
Impact on the Community
Kabi revealed that Betty had initiated a Bible study program for children in her estate, dedicating her time to guiding young ones in faith. “She even started a kids’ Bible study in the estate, pouring her heart into helping little ones know Jesus,” he added.
He described Betty as “a woman after God’s own heart,” emphasizing that her spiritual legacy would continue through her children and everyone she touched through music and ministry.
Social Media Tributes
Following Kabi wa Jesus’ tribute, many Kenyans took to social media to mourn Betty Bayo and offer condolences. Comments reflected admiration for her humility, faith, and the spiritual foundation she built for her children. One fan noted, “11th Hour died on the 11th month, just hours to the 11th day… may her soul rest in peace.” Another wrote, “My heart goes out to those kids. Losing a mother at a young age is painful. May God comfort them and strengthen their hearts.”
Family and Co-Parenting
Pastor Victor Kanyari, Betty’s ex-husband, also paid tribute, vowing to dedicate himself fully to raising their two children, Sky and Dan. Despite their separation, the two maintained a peaceful co-parenting relationship, prioritizing the wellbeing of their children.
Legacy of Betty Bayo
Betty Bayo’s life and ministry continue to inspire Kenyans. Her influence in gospel music and her commitment to nurturing faith in the next generation remain a testament to her devotion to God and her enduring love for people.
