Reagan Grace Gibbs
Emcee - Bringing energy and insight to guide the day's journey of discipleship and leadership.
The Church Needs Leaders.
Christianity is declining, and one of the first signs is fewer leaders stepping up. Bible colleges struggle to enroll future ministers. Church plants stall. Established churches can’t find pastors—and many close their doors.
We must act now. Renewal is the answer.
It starts with pursuing God in Scripture, raising up leaders, and making true disciples of King Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Will you join us?
Our theme for the 2025 National RENEW.org Gathering is “Facing the Future: Making True Disciples of King Jesus.”
