in whatever ways one can” is a consistent theme in his ministry.

FREEDOM REINS

Freedom Reins Equine Connections have a unique calling to bring the love of God within reach by drawing near to the horse. Located in the Lower Mainland of B.C., Freedom Reins aims to promote wellness and the healing process by facilitating a therapeutic encounter with horses. Young women struggling with addictions and food disorders are regulars at the ‘ranch’. We have the privilege of hosting groups such as Mercy Ministries, House of Hope and the women’s Teen Challenge. Freedom Reins is a Christian organization. We consider ourselves to be twice blessed. Blessed by what we receive from the horse. And secondly, blessed by sharing that with others.

In a partnership with All About Youth, Canada and Youth Ministry International, Dr. Marv has joined MMF to help provide training for young leaders in seminaries around the world who do not have adequately trained youth ministry faculty. These seminaries recognize the importance of training youth workers, so have invited experienced trainers like Marv to join their faculty for one week intensive courses. Dr. Marv Penner has given his entire adult life to serving the next generation of young people in a variety of practical ways. He is a trained counsellor who walks closely with at risk teenagers during some of their darkest hours.
