Who We Are
Transforming Lives Through Faith & Service
Cultivating discipline & faith
He is the Remedy's football program is more than just a sport; it's a powerful tool for transforming lives. We began with a simple vision: to use football as a bridge to lead young men away from the challenges of their past and toward a future grounded in Jesus Christ. Through rigorous training and mentorship, we instill discipline and teamwork, while simultaneously deepening their faith through dedicated discipleship and Bible studies.
From the field to the community
As these young men grew in their faith and leadership, their commitment extended beyond the football field. They have formed the BLAST Evangelical Outreach team, actively sharing the Gospel throughout local communities. Their journey didn't stop there—they’ve also planted a vibrant community church in Chebaiywa, a testament to their spiritual growth and desire to share God’s love.
Transformative Impact
From the Streets to a life of Purpose
Our football program has transformed the lives of many young men who were once caught in cycles of idleness, drugs, and disruptive behavior. Through the program, these players have found purpose and direction on the football field. It has provided not just an outlet for their energy, but also a supportive community that has guided them away from the streets and toward brighter futures. Each player’s journey is a testament to the power of mentorship, discipline, and faith, as they continue to grow both on and off the field.

Beyond the Field:
< Evangelism and Church Planting >
Our football program does so much more than just teach the game; it opens doors to new possibilities and brighter futures. For many of these young men, football became the key that unlocked their potential, guiding them away from the challenges of idleness and substance abuse. Through the values of discipline and faith, they found a sense of purpose and belonging.
Now, with the support of He is the Remedy, they’re using their experiences to reach out to others, leading the BLAST Evangelical Outreach team and helping more youth discover the hope and stability that comes from a life rooted in Jesus.
But their journey didn’t stop there. The relationships and lessons learned on the field have blossomed into something truly special—a community church in Chebaiywa, where faith grows and thrives. These young leaders are giving back in ways they never imagined, sharing the love and support they received through food programs, kids’ camps, and other initiatives that bring joy and strength to the community. It’s a beautiful cycle of giving, where the blessings they’ve received are now flowing out to touch the lives of others.
“Football gave me a reason to get up in the morning. It brought me into a family where I felt seen and supported. It helped me realize that I could be more—that I could lead, grow, and give back to my community.”

Caleb’s Story and the Land Campaign
A Testimony That Moved Us
When we first watched the video of Caleb sharing his heart, we were deeply moved. Caleb was not just our operations manager—he was a friend, a son in the faith, and someone who had walked with Russ in discipleship for more than five years. He lived and breathed the ministry, knowing that everything we did belonged to Jesus and was for His glory.
In a powerful act of faith, Caleb personally donated to the Land Campaign Fund. To the world, his gift of $20 USD might have seemed small compared to the $500,000 goal. But to Caleb and his family, it was sacrificial. They gave up something of their own so that they could sow into God’s work.
More Than Just Land
This campaign was never just about buying land. It was about permanence, roots, and legacy.
Land to grow food and feed families.
Land to build a church and community center.
Land to host visitors and share the Word of God.
Land that would serve as the foundation for generations of ministry to come.
We knew it was a big ask. We knew the goal could only be reached through a miracle. And we trusted God for that miracle.
A Call to Faith
Caleb’s sacrificial giving reminded us that this was not about equal amounts, but equal faith. His testimony called others to step out and trust God for provision, no matter the size of the gift.
We invited our supporters to join Caleb in this journey of faith—believing together for the miracle of land, and giving all glory to God.
