An Update from Riley

Riley Kneedler is a missionary in South Africa. She is partnered with Fire and Fragrance (F&F), a YWAM community focused on training and sending Gen-Z to the nations to share the gospel.

At her base, she currently prepares for the launch of their Bible school. She is finishing the last training for the school and is working alongside her co-leader to build the rest of their team.

Most recently, Riley had the opportunity to teach at a local Bible school and speak at YWAM’s Cape Town base. She also traveled to the Himalayas, where she taught the Bible with the local base.

After months of prayers and fundraising, God miraculously provided the F&F base with a nightclub on the most prominent party street in town. The building, known as Bourbons, will be turned into part of their mission base for events, Bible and training schools, full-time staff offices, and meeting/prayer spaces.

God deserves our undivided attention, affection, faith, trust, and worship. In 2024, my prayer is from the words of Jesus in Mark 12:30,

"And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

Stories & Testimonies from 2023

Reflecting on 2023, I am grateful for so many things. I want to share some of the testimonies, stories, victories, and memories from this past year.

Our FFSA Media team put together a booklet that beautifully shows the best moments of 2023 for our base. This booklet is such a gift because it describes way more than what I would be able to type out and share with you all! (Thank you media team!) Here is a copy so you can also celebrate all that God did and more.

We also launched a few new initiatives that are linked to our community. Here is a copy of what our friends began in 2023 based on moments where God marked their hearts for the people around them.
