FAMILY UPDATE FROM OUR FAMILY

We are excited to announce that we will be joining the mission organization, Ride Nature full-time as the executive directors of the California base. Ride Nature is a 501(C)3 non-profit missions organization that is dedicated to giving generously, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, and making disciples through action sports outreach, evangelism and discipleship to the ends of the earth. 

Over the last 13 years as I have worked for Woodward- an action sports brand and camp, I have worked as a Camp Director and Brand Manager. In March of 2021 our family moved from Southern California to Utah to further my cooperate role with the company, but in November of this last year we felt the Lord was calling us elsewhere and we trusted Him as we took a step of faith to leave my position. As a result the Lord has grown our family in so many ways both spiritually, personally, and physically. Judah, our second son was born in May of 2021, and through many answered prayers God opened the door for us to work alongside a Faith based action sports camp-Camp ROYAL. Throughout this last season we have continued praying and seeking the Lord and His calling and in that time we began building a relationship with the leadership at Ride Nature. Seeing what God has done and what He is still doing through the organization, we knew this was where the Lord was calling us.

The organization had been praying for several years with the vision of launching a second U.S. headquarters based out of Southern CA and our family is very honored to help spearhead this vision as we lead the team that will be based out of San Diego County. Countless times we have seen the Lord work in our lives and others through prayer and waiting on Him. We believe God has been preparing us for this opportunity in ministry and with that we believe the Lord will also provide our family with a prayer team and financial partners to come alongside us as we serve with Ride Nature. First and foremost we would like to ask that you pray for us in this new season of life and transition. We have listed some prayer requests below and would be honored to know that we can count on you to pray for our family.

Each of the staff at Ride Nature raise support as missionaries to serve with the organization and we will be doing the same. We are praying that God will provide our family a financial support team to help us reach our monthly financial goal and cover our expenses so that we can commit 100% of our time into serving the vision of the ministry. We are praying for and seeking monthly partners that would come alongside us and commit to giving on a monthly basis. Below there is a link to sign up to give online and we are so grateful for any gift you feel the Lord is leading you make. We are excited to step into this new season and commit our lives to sharing the Good News of Jesus with the world through action sports, to be a part of making disciples within the action sports community, to help launch and lead an internship/discipleship program here in Southern CA, and to be apart of bringing the Gospel to the ends the of the earth. Thank you for partnering with us to make this all possible!

With Love,

- Jake, Abigail, Sayler and Judah Kinney
