What’s the story behind these images?
In May 2015, Don Moen—known for hymns like “I Will Sing” and “God Will Make a Way”—arrived in Kenya for concerts in Mombasa and Nairobi. During this visit, he and his wife Laura, along with Lenny LeBlanc, were invited for dinner at William Ruto’s home in Karen. They were warmly received by the Ruto family and even gifted custom-made Maasai shukas.
The Nairobi News report specifically mentions that during the Karen dinner, the artists were given Maasai shukas, and Ruto’s daughter, June Ruto, also joined the gathering.
Other Kenyan media such as Ghafla and Nairobi Wire corroborated the event, noting the convivial atmosphere as Don Moen and Lenny LeBlanc socialized with the Ruto family following appearances like on Jeff Koinange Live.
Don Moen continued his Kenya tour, including worship concerts at Nairobi Baptist Church, while this visit marked a notable intersection of faith, music, and Kenyan leadership.
