11 Sep Renew Sends Its Second Team to Haiti

Six persons from Renew Communities (Berea, Ohio) traveled to Haiti, where they have been working with Haiti Bible Mission. “Their goal is to raise up indigenous leaders to plant and lead churches so when we go we come as support to that mission,” says senior pastor Andy Sikorra (right).

This was the second time Renew has sent a team to Haiti.

“We donated over $15,000 last year to help plant a church in Kolimo, a village outside of Jeremie. This trip we took 40+ tarps to help tarp roofs in areas where the mission is at work. We saw many accept Christ and relationships built for the future movement of these churches.

“The most powerful aspect was to see young Haitian men connected to the mission leading in the neighborhoods (essentially slums) where they live. The community would look to the Americans, and we could say ‘He’s the boss. Talk with him!’ It brought great credibility and clearly opened the way for Gospel movement.”
