What would it look like if Jesus moved into your neighborhood this Christmas?
The power of Christmas is that Jesus became one of us and moved into the neighborhood to meet our needs. We embody this at Renew through our annual Christmas Projects, where each MicroChurch creates a service project that directly meets the needs of their communities and tangibly shows them the love of Jesus. This is how we empower our people to be everyday missionaries, right where God has placed them. Funds collected for Kingdom Builders supports these Christmas Projects.
