Robbie & Yvonne Walden
Our Story
Almost 4 years ago Robbie and Yvonne went into full time ministry creating “It Takes a Village Ministries", where The Lord had Robbie and Yvonne quit their jobs, sell their house, and give their savings away to the church. God said “Where I am sending you and your wife I need you fully dependant on me.”
The Lord then had Robbie post up fliers around their hometown of Hailey Idaho informing the community he was available to help anyone in the community for free with any job they needed done and to only accept donations. In conjunction, he would spend all of His time evangelizing and spreading the gospel and he started a mens group where he preached the word of God. Robbie and Yvonne also became youth pastors.
They relocated to Hayden Idaho, where Robbie and Yvonne’s entire purpose became a life dedicated to sharing the gospel. Robbie started a mens group out of their house called “Prause” (prahooce) where the intent was to train men to be the biblical leaders and warriors God has called them to be in their home, church and community, that quickly built to around 50 men strong. Their house quickly began to look like the book of acts. Yvonne also started a womens group where she began leading and teaching women to become leaders in their homes, church and community.
In the summer of 2022 God put it on their hearts to start Christ Fit Gym CDA a free gym, where we share the gospel through exercise and events, and the gym is FREE. Donation based. Through prayer and discussion, their vision began to build and come to life.
After much prayer, the Lord confirmed that this is what He wanted us to start. Then in November 2022 they heard the word “Go” from the Lord. After 7 hard months of working to launch Christ Fit Gym CDA officially, Kyle and AJ Madden generously donated a $36,000 Mobile Gym by Beaver Fit. Two weeks later, the middle of July, we launched Christ Fit Gym CDA officially out of the mobile gym, hosting group workouts at local parks.
Every workout doubled in size from the previous, and within a week and a half of classes, we now had two classes with 15 to 20 people in each class. In one month of operation we had two salvations and several healings happen through the power of prayer. After one full month of operating in the mobile gym, we had enough donations to secure our first physical location for Christ Fit, 7736 N Government way. A 3,000 square foot facility which we opened up officially on September 11th.
In January of 2024, after 4 months in the building, we had Matt Kifer a doctor of physical therapy start his own practice “Elevate 208” and bring it into the ministry.
We have now been in the building for 7 months and we have had 40 salvations, and through the power of prayer people healed of cancer, a child born with a whole in his heart, healed that very same day, two days later, taken off of the feeding tube and the third day sent home, because God healed this child who was not going to make it all because of prayer. And more healings than we can post here. All because God loves us and still heals today!
