The prayer directly addressed Charlene Ruto's desire for a future spouse, with Pastor Hinn asking for divine intervention to bring her the partner of her dreams.
"Give her a husband. That will fulfil that call with her. Lord, send that young man her way. That will be a strength to her, a great support to her," Hinn prayed.
He emphasised the need for a strong, supportive partner as Charlene embarks on her spiritual and professional journey to spread the gospel.
This prayer comes at a time when Charlene Ruto has been subject to rumours regarding her dating life, specifically, speculation linking her to popular gospel musician Daddy Owen.
Despite the grapevine, the prayer session at the crusade seems to suggest that the first daughter is yet to find a suitor.
"Lord, send him her way, soon. Let him be exactly what she wants, everything she wants. Grant it, Lord, grant it Lord in the name of Jesus,” Hinn continued.
