Renewing Our World
Jesus loves all of creation and desires its renewal! The bible teaches that Jesus is about his glory and the renewal of all creation that was torn and broken through rebellion. As people of Christ, we participate with Jesus in renewing people and communities in the whole world through declaring and demonstrating the gospel of Jesus.
We would love to have you join us in renewal. Check out some of the opportunities below and follow the links to learn more about anything that connects with your heart.
Renewing Haiti
On January 12, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake 25km west of the capital of Port-au-Prince left over 200,000 dead, an additional 300,000 injured and 1,000,000 people made homeless, most of whom still live in temporary 'camps of despair' full of shelters pulled together with sticks and tarps.
In late May 2010 a vision team, in partership with Help End Local Poverty, traveled to Haiti to see the devastation first hand and to form partnerships to see renewal in Haiti, not just for the next few years, but long term renewal. We invite you to learn more about our renewal efforts with orphans, housing and providing water in Haiti through our Renewing Haiti page.
