A New Chapter: Sharing Our Story with the World

An Answered Prayer
Over the past few months, we had been praying that God would broaden the reach of He Is the Remedy. Our desire was simple: to be known by more people and churches who share our heart for the Gospel and community transformation.

God heard those prayers—and answered them in a remarkable way.

Through a series of divine connections, we were introduced to Joelle and Michael from MTK Elevate Media, a dynamic husband-and-wife team with a heart for missions and storytelling. They didn’t just visit our ministry; they lived it. For four days and nights, they stayed with us in the village, on our compound, fully immersing themselves in our community.

They met with our team, listened to village elders, attended football training sessions, visited the farms, saw the homes we’ve built, and even participated in a BLAST outreach. They asked deep, thoughtful questions—not just about our work, but about how we’ve seen God move through it all. Their dedication and intentionality left us deeply moved.


A New Way to Share the Story
As a result of their time here, Joelle and Michael created a powerful short documentary that captures the heart of our ministry. We’re thrilled to share it with you—
because you have been part of this journey since the beginning.

But that’s not all. We are also launching our brand-new website!

This site will allow us to share more frequently and more personally with you. It brings to life the spirit of He Is the Remedy through photos, videos, testimonies, and real-time updates. Whether you've supported us from day one or just recently joined the mission, we believe this site will inspire and encourage you.

Follow the Journey with Us
The new site isn’t just about us—it’s about all of us, together. We’ll be updating it regularly with new campaigns, ministry stories, and a blog that helps you walk this journey with us.

We hope you’ll share it with friends, family, and church leaders. God is moving in Chebaiywa, Kenya—and we want the world to know. Through love, discipleship, and community, lives are being changed every day.


Partnering with Churches
If you attend a church other than our home church,
Water of Life, we’d love to connect. We’ve created a special packet just for pastors, church elders, and outreach leaders.

If you’re willing to share contact information for your church, we’d be honored to reach out and send them this resource.

🙏 Let’s expand this mission together.
