Kings River Rumble: A Day to Remember!

This summer, the Immanuel community came together in an incredible way to host the inaugural Kings River Rumble football tournament. Thirteen high schools, including 11 public schools, brought their football programs to participate in a full day of intense competition, including a 7-on-7 tournament and twelve lineman events such as the tractor push, weightlifting, hay stacking, tug of war, and the crowd favorite—the river rafting challenge!

But beyond the competition, the purpose of the day was all about outreach. During a hosted tri-tip lunch, a powerful gospel message was shared by Bishop JR Coleman. Our amazing partner, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), brought 200 Bibles to distribute—and they ran out as young men eagerly responded to the Gospel. In total, approximately 400 young men came forward, with 200 making first-time commitments to Christ and many others recommitting their lives to Him. God moved in a mighty way!

A huge thank you to our incredible Immanuel community for teaming together to make this event possible and for being a “light in the valley”. Special thanks to Kings River Rafting, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Eagle Booster Gridiron, and our generous sponsors for your support.

We can’t wait to see how God continues to use this event in the years to come!
