???? Celebrating David Cheromei: A Heart for Athletes & a Legacy of Faith ???? David Cheromei isn’t just a former trials steeplechase runner; he's a passionate volunteer with Athletes in Action who has made it his life’s mission to encourage and support athletes on their spiritual journey. During the 2024 Paris Summer Games, David was right where he felt God had called him to be—walking alongside athletes, offering a listening ear, and sharing words of hope, love, and encouragement. Whether he was praying with Kenyan runners, sharing a Bible with a Ugandan cycling leader, or comforting athletes facing disappointment, David’s heart for these competitors was evident. He understands the pressures of high-performance sports, as he himself has faced the highs and lows of Olympic trials and competitive events. His unique position as both a coach and athlete allows him to relate deeply to those he serves, knowing exactly what they’re going through. Beyond the physical competition, David’s mission was to show these athletes that true success isn’t just measured by medals or scores—it’s about finding peace, purpose, and strength in Christ. Through heartfelt prayers and Bible sharing, David helped athletes remember that their worth is not found in their athletic achievements but in their identity as beloved children of God. ???? David’s work is a reminder that the impact of sports extends far beyond the stadium. By building authentic relationships and supporting athletes spiritually and emotionally, we can help spread Christ’s love to all corners of the world. ??
