What a meaningful week at Lord’s Gym Ministries. ❤️

This week, we shared stories of how God changes lives through everyday faithfulness — ordinary acts of love becoming extraordinary moments of hope.

We are also celebrating 25 years of ministry from our Executive Director, Scott Bowers.

After decades of serving youth and families, Scott created a free devotional e-book called Remind Me Again... filled with reflections, lessons, encouragement, and reminders of God’s faithfulness through every season of ministry and life.

We hope it encourages you as much as it has encouraged us.

At Lord’s Gym Ministries, we often talk about the impact serving has on kids and families — but sometimes God does His deepest work in us.

Chris shares an honest reflection about ministry, leadership, family life, frustration, growth, and learning to trust God through every challenge.

It’s a powerful reminder that God can use even our struggles and failures to shape us more into the image of Jesus.

One of the greatest ways you can support Lord’s Gym Ministries is through prayer. ❤️

Every day, our staff members pour into youth, families, volunteers, and community members throughout Price Hill and beyond. Ministry is beautiful, but it can also be spiritually, emotionally, and physically demanding.

That’s why we created this guide: How to Pray for Our Staff.

Please pray for:
🙏 Spiritual strength
🙏 Wisdom and discernment
🙏 The youth and families we serve
🙏 Endurance and joy
🙏 Staff families
🙏 Unity within the ministry
🙏 God to continue moving powerfully

Your prayers encourage us, strengthen us, and remind us we are not serving alone.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer. 🙏

Serving faithfully can change lives — including your own.

Sara shares how working with the youth at Lord’s Gym Ministries has deepened her faith and shown her the incredible power of consistency, trust, and God’s presence in the lives of kids.

Sometimes ministry looks like simply showing up, day after day, and trusting God to work through it.

At Lord’s Gym Ministries, we often celebrate the big stories of transformation — but some of the most meaningful moments happen quietly.

Melissa, our Communications Coordinator, reflects on how seven years of ministry have taught her the importance of “ordinary rescues” — the simple but powerful ways God works through people who faithfully show up day after day.

A tutor.
A mentor.
A volunteer.
A warm meal.
A listening ear.

These acts may seem small, but they can become life-changing reminders of God’s love to someone in need.

What’s missing? ❤️

Maybe it’s YOU.

At Lord's Gym Ministries, every volunteer helps make our community stronger. Whether it’s serving meals, mentoring youth, encouraging someone in recovery, helping at events, praying with others, or simply showing kindness — every act of service matters.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t need special qualifications.
You just need a willing heart.

Your time.
Your compassion.
Your ideas.
Your willingness to serve.

All of it can make a bigger impact than you realize.

And the beautiful thing about serving others? It often changes your life too.

If you’ve been searching for a place to belong and make a difference, we’d love to connect with you.

This weekend, we remember. ❤️🤍💙

We honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives serving our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

14,004 meals.
15,405 pounds of food rescued from landfills.
Countless lives impacted. ❤️

For several years, Chick-fil-A Oakley Station has been an incredible partner to Lord's Gym Ministries — helping turn surplus food into hope for our community.

But this partnership is about so much more than meals.

It’s about families finding relief during difficult times.
It’s about people being reminded they matter.
It’s about showing love, dignity, and compassion to our neighbors.

Every donated meal represents a moment of hope for someone who may be struggling.

Together, we are feeding people, reducing waste, strengthening our community, and proving that when organizations come together with a heart to serve, lives can truly be changed.

Thank you, Chick-fil-A Oakley Station, for your continued generosity and for helping us build a stronger, healthier, and more hopeful future for our community. ❤️
