PRAYERS ANSWERED — KYLE HAS BEEN FOUND

Today, with grateful hearts, we can share that our prayers have been answered.

After searching the deep waters of Okanagan Lake, the HEART Team was able to locate and recover Kyle Yrjola from a depth of over 400 feet.

We are deeply thankful to God for His guidance, protection, and strength throughout this mission. While we rejoice that Kyle has been found, our hearts remain heavy for his family and loved ones, who have suffered through days of painful uncertainty.

We sincerely thank everyone who has supported this mission through prayers, encouragement, and financial contributions. Your kindness and generosity have helped make this recovery possible. We are especially grateful for the many people who stood alongside us in this difficult search.

We ask that you continue to lift Kyle's family and loved ones up in prayer. May God grant them comfort, strength, and peace as they grieve this heartbreaking loss.

From all of us at HEART Team Inc., thank you for helping us bring Kyle home.

To God be the glory. 🙏

October 12: HEART Team Inc. is deploying to Okanagan Lake in British Columbia to assist the family of Kyle Yrjola, who has been missing since September 22, 2026, following a tragic paddleboarding incident.

Kyle and a female companion were in distress on Okanagan Lake, between Fintry Provincial Park and Carr's Landing. Emergency responders were able to rescue the woman, but sadly, Kyle could not be located.

Despite extensive search efforts by the RCMP and local Search and Rescue teams, including boats, aircraft, and underwater resources, Kyle remains missing.

At the family's request, HEART Team is now traveling from Manitoba with our specialized underwater search and recovery equipment. Our hope and prayer is that God will guide our efforts and allow us to bring Kyle home to his loved ones, giving them some measure of peace and closure during this heartbreaking time.

🙏 We humbly ask for your prayers. Please pray for Kyle's family, for wisdom and guidance in our search, and for God's protection over our team as we travel and work on the water.

❤️ Financial support is also greatly appreciated. If you feel led to help support this mission financially, any contribution, large or small, will help make this work possible. Donation can be made via this link or E-transfer to [email protected]

We are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to stand behind HEART through prayers, encouragement, and generous support.
