Meet Justus
Feeling Lost to a Life of Purpose
Justus grew up facing the harsh realities of poverty, with his parents unable to afford his school fees. He often felt like a "nobody," unsure of his purpose in the world. However, through the support of He Is the Remedy, Justus was sponsored to finish his education and is now proud to work within the very organization that changed his life. His journey from struggling with self-worth to becoming a vital part of the ministry is a testament to the power of hope, education, and community.
Meet Loyd
Witnessing the Power of Transformation
Loyd, a concerned community member and friend of He Is the Remedy, watched as many of the local youth fell into cycles of idleness, drugs, and crime. With no sense of purpose, some were even stealing to feed their addictions. But through the ministry’s work and the saving grace of Jesus, these young individuals have found hope, purpose, and valuable employment. Loyd has seen firsthand how He Is the Remedy has helped homeless youth find homes, return to school, and secure meaningful work, transforming lives and revitalizing the community.
As we reach the halfway point of the season, the Chebaiywa Football Club stands strong with 15 wins, 2 losses, and 6 draws, maintaining our position at the top of the league. The second half of the season has been far more challenging, as other teams seem determined to knock us from our first-place spot—by any means necessary. Despite facing cheating, bribery, rough play, and even ringers, our boys remain resolute in their faith, stepping onto the field each time with integrity and determination.
This theme of "win, lose, and draw" extends beyond the football field and seems to encapsulate our experiences over the past two months. We've faced numerous challenges, from disciplinary actions to difficult counseling sessions. Yet, through it all, we've also seen incredible victories that remind us of why we do this work.
One of the most significant wins came when the team was invited to the home of an older couple from a neighboring village. This was no ordinary invitation; the couple is Muslim, and they asked our team to come for tea and pray for them. It was a powerful reminder that faith transcends barriers and that our work is touching lives in unexpected ways.
Another major win is the success of our farms. The quality and quantity of our harvests have exceeded expectations, attracting the attention of other local farmers who visit our fields to learn our methods. These conversations always begin with our guys sharing about Jesus, intertwining their agricultural success with their faith.
Kinda, one of our football players, has had an incredible transformation journey. Once struggling with alcohol and drug problems, Kinda’s life took a turn when he found faith in Jesus. So much so that the team elected him as their captain. However, Kinda and his wife, who were living as caretakers in someone else's home, faced a crisis when the owners decided to return and asked them to move out.
Kinda had saved what little money he could to buy materials to build his own home, but the situation was dire, with his wife being seven months pregnant. When Kinda approached us for help, we discovered that the materials he had bought were inadequate. Our team sprang into action, finding better materials and ensuring Kinda’s new home was built properly. His teammates joyfully participated in the construction, turning a potential loss into a resounding win. The home will be dedicated on August 27th.
Not all challenges have turned into immediate victories. We’ve been working with two young brothers who were semi-abandoned by their mother. Despite our best efforts to support them and reconnect them with their mother, she has left again, showing little interest in their well-being. This situation is heartbreaking, and we are partnering with other ministries and authorities to ensure these boys have a future filled with hope and promise. Your prayers for Brian and Dennis would be greatly appreciated.
We are also facing uncertainty with our work permits and visas, which expire soon. While we have taken all necessary steps for renewal, the process is fraught with bureaucratic challenges. We are trusting in God’s plan but ask for your prayers as we navigate this difficult situation.
Despite the struggles, we have experienced moments of pure joy and gratitude. We were honored to attend a celebration for our dear friend Florence, who received the Hero’s Award from the Republic of Kenya for her service to her church, community, and country—the highest civilian honor.
Another significant win came when our football players stepped up to donate blood for patients in need, despite having worked hard all day. Their selflessness and willingness to help others, even when tired and hungry, filled our hearts with pride.
