Discipleship
through
Football
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.
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
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.
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.

At He Is the Remedy, we believe transformation doesn’t just happen—it’s built, one brick, one heart, and one story at a time.
Recently, that story took a beautiful turn, thanks to a visiting team whose hands and hearts helped bring tangible hope to our corner of Kenya.
We were honoured to welcome Dr. Dan Stewart and the amazing team from LPU for a week of service, connection, and transformation.
While they were here, they didn’t just show up—they built. With sweat, smiles, and compassion, the team constructed two stunning new homes for families in need. The beauty of these 2 new homes are that they are considered respectful, middle-class Kenyan homes—with spacious rooms, a concrete floor, glass windows, lockable wood doors, and a sturdy metal roof.
There's even a separate, private toilet and a washroom, offering comfort and dignity for the community members who now live there. One of the two houses was designed to be wheelchair accessible, which we are proud to say we accomplished.
But these weren’t just shelters. These were:
Respectful, middle-class Kenyan homes
Equipped with concrete floors, glass windows, and lockable wooden doors
Topped with sturdy metal roofs
Completed with private toilets and washrooms
One designed to be wheelchair accessible
In a place where many live in temporary or fragile housing, these homes represent more than safety—they represent dignity.
Beyond the construction, the LPU team rolled up their sleeves and stepped into the life of the community—offering medical support, joining church services, and being present for heartfelt moments of worship, laughter, and learning.
From healthcare to home visits, every act of service was a living echo of our mission: to bring the hands and feet of Christ to places where hope feels distant.
As we celebrate what’s been built, we’re turning our gaze to the future—and it’s bold.
We’re launching the FUND A FARM: Land Campaign with a vision to raise $512,000 for 20 acres of land that will become the permanent home of our mission.
🌽 A working farm: maize, animals, and food security for outreach
🏠 A community centre, church, Remedy House, and staff homes
💧 A fresh-water well, fencing, and training space
🛏️ A guesthouse to host mission teams, interns, and volunteers
For years, we’ve made the most of what we’ve been given—but now it’s time to build something that can bless others for generations
Whether you want to sow into this campaign, bring a team, or simply learn more—we’d love to connect.
This isn’t just about land. It’s about legacy. It’s about creating a place where the Gospel is lived out daily—through farming, worship, discipleship, and love.
Thank You for Believing in This Mission
Your prayers, your giving, and your belief in this dream are making it all possible. From new homes to future farms, you are part of the miracle.
With love and deep gratitude,
Russ & Maria Baker
