Reminds Us to Serve the Least of These …
Those who are strangers, sick in prison, we go to them, we serve and care for them. God make us as your people, and our churches, a picture of this kind of love for one another.

Meet Our Founder
B.J. (Bobby) Kenninmer, founder of RIOT Ministries, embarked on a transformative journey after finding the Lord in March 1996 at the age of 15. Despite a brief divergence from his calling between 1998 and 2000, B.J. experienced a spiritual awakening in 2000, setting the stage for a lifelong commitment to preaching the gospel.
In 2002, B.J. married Jana, and together, they have spent the past 20 years passionately fulfilling their God-given mission. From serving as student pastors (2003-2005) to being integral members of the speaking pastor team (2005-2023), their dedication extended to directing men's ministries for the state of Texas with ALJC from 2021-2023.
B.J. initiated RIOT Ministries in 2009, delving into prison ministry in 2012 and establishing RIOT Construction in 2019. In 2023, they embraced itinerant ministry, traveling worldwide to share their message and organize impactful outreach programs across the DFW Metro, HTX Metro, and ATX Metro cities, all aimed at for the purpose of heaven on earth.

"In the vast tapestry of our world, there are pockets of communities that are frayed, worn, and in need. But amidst these challenges, there emerges a light, a beacon of hope named R.i.o.T Ministries. This isn’t just a local endeavor; it's a global mission that reaches the hearts of those far and wide, transcending borders and boundaries.
Every child's laughter, every parent's silent prayer, every footstep on a journey defines the stories we aim to touch. Our upcoming initiative, 'Soles 4 Souls', speaks volumes in its simplicity and profound impact. This April, in the heart of Terrell, Texas, at the illustrious Terrell High Performing Arts Center, we are setting the stage to bring about change. Imagine the joy, the empowerment, as we gift 100 BRAND NEW pairs of shoes, not just as footwear but as symbols of hope, resilience, and dignity.
Because, let's face it, the weight of a parent's choice between essentials and footwear shouldn’t be a burden they carry alone. It's about giving every child, every individual, the confidence to step forward, knowing they are supported, cherished, and valued.
But our journey doesn't halt there. It's a continuous stride forward. And we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey. Whether you feel called to contribute, volunteer, or stand as a pillar of support, there's a place, a role, awaiting you within our ministry.
Remember, change isn’t just about grand gestures; it's about the cumulative effort of individuals like you and me, coming together, step by step, soul by soul. Join us, let’s craft stories of change, hope, and unity. Because together, we don't just make a difference; we create legacies."
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
Prayer is our VEHICLE
Being able to serve communities all across the nation is something we are passionate and feel is the backbone of change in our current statues as a people… If you change a heart, you can change a community… that will affect a city, that changes a state that will effect the nation, that can change the world!

WE have found that when we are invited to pray with those in need, it INSTANTLY brings hope into the equation
