Manchester City and Belgium national team winger Jeremy Doku has recently been gaining attention not only for his dazzling pace and footballing skills but also for his boldness in expressing his Christian faith.

In a recent post on Instagram, Doku shared a heartfelt Bible verse from Matthew 19:5-6, which speaks about the sanctity of marriage: “A man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh… Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

The post was part of a promotional teaser for Episode 2 of a personal video series chronicling Doku’s adventures. He described the episode as “a desert adventure like no other”, featuring buggy rides, a TopGolf challenge, and even an unexpected moment of being stuck in the sand.

Yet the highlight, as hinted in the caption, is “a moment that changes everything.” The first episode is already live on his YouTube channel, and Episode 2 is set to drop on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

Faith-based platforms such as @_christhlete praised Doku for unapologetically sharing the gospel, writing: “It’s beautiful to see Manchester City star @jeremydoku using his platform to boldly share the gospel of Jesus Christ. We hope his prayer encourages you today — to use your gifts and platform, no matter the size, to glorify God.”

At just 23, Doku is becoming a role model for young Christian athletes around the world, showing that one can be passionate about both football and faith. Whether he’s racing down the wing at the Etihad or navigating the deserts of life, Doku continues to prove that his purpose is bigger than football.
