After a summer of transition— where our Ministry Director and some amazing volunteers moved on—we are thrilled to announce that our regular programming is back on. Praise be to God!

For three nights a week our fitness centre is once again filled with sweaty teenagers: exercising, playing tag, and more. It has taken some adjusting due to having less staff, but the volunteers have been absolutely amazing, and God continues to bless us.

We have a younger girl who has been coming to program for a couple of years now. As she is Muslim, she very politely declines to read the Bible or engage in most of our Jesus conversations. Regardless, it’s been a pleasure getting to know her. Recently, we saw God impact her in a very tangible way. During one of our Chase  Tag nights, she was dealing with a hurt knee, something that had been bothering her the previous week as well, so we decided to take a moment to
pray for her.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who
seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” – Matthew7:7-8

We had prayed for her knee the previous week, and nothing had happened. This time, as I sat down with her again, I had posed a challenge: if Jesus healed her knee, she would have no excuse not to believe that He at least existed. And she agreed. I prayed for God to heal her, as I did the previous week. While she said a little bit of pain went away, it was clearly still hurting. I then asked if someone else wanted to pray. One boy sitting next to us agreed and casually offered a swift prayer: “God please heal her in the next few minutes.” He then ran off to join the game of tag.

Later, as the night was drawing to a close, we were going around sharing prayer requests, she suddenly perked up. In a slightly confused tone, she
exclaimed that her knee was totally fine! God had healed her knee! I immediately reminded her of the agreement: she now had to believe in Jesus. She
agreed!

This was such a cool moment, not just because I got to witness God physically heal this girl, but because she is now one step closer to believing in the
Kingdom of God. Please be praying for this girl!

How you can pray for this ministry:

• Pray that God would provide additional staff and volunteers, and that God would be impacting our youth in new and powerful ways.  For our staff team,
  both on the front lines of our ministry and those in admin roles, that our eyes would remain fixed on Jesus as we enter the challenging winter season.

To our Ministry Partners: Because of you, we are able to sustain the vital ministry of The Rig, where real relationships are being formed and space is
being created for youth to experience God’s power and love.
