Liberty Head Men's Basketball Coach Ritchie McKay is set to represent Athletes in Action (AIA) in Nairobi, Kenya, as part of a coaching clinic directed to further basketball and the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Africa. Flames' redshirt junior Tyler Baker will join McKay in Kenya.

"I am very excited to share the mission of AIA to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the different nations in Africa," said McKay. "I am looking forward to sharing basketball knowledge and philosophies with coaches, while trying to advance the kingdom."

McKay and Baker will depart for Kenya on July 25 and will return to Lynchburg on Aug. 2. "Liberty basketball has had successful ties to players in Africa," stated McKay. "We will be on the lookout for the next Peter Aluma or Julius Nwosu, who both hailed from cities in Nigeria."
