WATCH: Actress Dorea Chege Shares Emotional Video of Her Getting Saved

Popular Kenyan actress Dorea Chege has opened up about a significant turning point in her life.

Celebrating another year of life, the former Maria star revealed that she underwent a profound spiritual transformation late last year.

Dorea shared with her followers that she officially gave her life to Jesus on 11 December 2025. Since that day, she describes experiencing a newfound sense of peace and a contagious joy that has reshaped her daily perspective.

A Moment of Surrender

To mark her birthday and her spiritual milestone, Dorea posted a poignant video capturing the moment of her transition. The footage offers a rare, intimate look at the actress in a state of complete vulnerability.

In the clip, Dorea is seen dressed in a vibrant, yellow jumpsuit. She is positioned on her knees on a grey carpeted floor, her head bowed in deep reverence.

Her long, blonde-toned braids sweep down her back as she remains motionless in prayer.

Standing directly in front of her is Dominic Thuku, who wears a dark brown sweatshirt with the word "Thuku's" emblazoned across the chest.

He holds Dorea’s hand firmly while his other hand is raised in a gesture of prayer. Beside him, Purity Thuku stands with her hands clasped and eyes closed, joining in the intercession.

The setting appears to be a quiet office or private prayer room, stripped of the glamour usually associated with the actress's public life.

A Journey of Victories

Dorea reflected on the weeks following her decision, noting that while the path has had its challenges, she has felt a constant divine presence.

"When I gave my life to Jesus on Dec 11 2025, I found a new purpose, peace, and joy that’s contagious. It’s been a journey with challenges and victories, but God’s been with me every step,” she stated.
