Today, June 11, Renew Communities is sending a team of 13 people to Jeremie, Haiti. They will assist in planting the latest church alongside Haiti Bible Mission. Chris Solyntjes, our worship pastor, is on the board of Haiti Bible Mission. They exist to train up indigenous church leaders in Haiti and have been training up church planters to plant where they live.

In December 2011, Renew Communities raised $7000 to help establish this new church and build a structure that will be used both for church and a Christian school. While in Haiti, our team will help build that structure, connect with people in that community, encourage the works that are already established, and care for some orphans in that area.

Please pray for safety, unity, growth, and power from the Spirit as we serve over the next week.
