New Life at the Ridge

God continues to build His Kingdom at the Ridge.  I wanted to share one special story.  Clint Meyer, one of this year's A.B.I.D.E. guys was recently privileged to introduce a 15 year old girl name Shelby to King Jesus!  Shelby has had a very hard life, but now she knows Christ as her healer, Savior and Lord.  Her newfound joy and freedom is so evident. We all watch in wonder as she grows in her love for the Lord and others.  A couple of weeks ago Shelby proclaimed her faith in Christ through baptism.  In the photos below you can see the love, encouragement, and prayer of her faith family.  Her mom, dad, sisters, and aunt were amazed at the love they witnessed. I trust it won't be long to we welcome them to faith as well.  The Ridge is been transformed by the Gospel one life at a time.

Church at the Ridge: Phase #2

God continues to do amazing things at the Ridge.  A wonderful partnership between multiple churches and the ABIDE program serve each week to demonstrate the Kingdom to this broken community.  Phase #2 of the building has been completed.  Check out the video below.  The boy in the video has recently opened his heart to King Jesus.  This is what it is all about. God is good! Our hope is to finish off the building by the end of the year.  Please pray for the resources needed to complete this project.

Ridge Building Dedication

Image
The Ridge Dedication was an amazing night of worship and celebration.  Nearly 200 people from 6 different congregations celebrated all that God has done and is doing to redeem this broken community.  Our part in the story came in 2014 with the launch of A.B.I.D.E. God used this to engage 5 new congregations with the Kingdom work there.  Through the last few years King Jesus continues to ransom lives and deepen disciplemaking friendships.   Please take a moment and read this article from the Peoria Journal Star about the history of ministry in the Ridge.  Pray with us for this community to continue to be a testimony to God's transforming grace.
