Tijuana Missions were a SUCCESS

This summer we held a week-long opportunity to host an English Camp for orphans and kids in Tijuana. We invited teams of up to 20 people to host multiple classes for kids ages 4-18 teaching them Bible stories, sharing worship songs, and leading them in crafts and activities.

We were also able to provide opportunities to explore Tijuana and get to know the staff and volunteers at Esperanza for Sons and Daughters.

Reaching those who need community

people in the world have a disability

Missions work has not done enough to bring the Gospel to those living with a disability. Our churches need to be a more welcoming and understanding place for those who have to overcome barriers to enter into Christian fellowship.

90 to 95%

of people with disabilities globally are unreached by the gospel

We need to think beyond geographies when we think about people groups who need access to the life changing message of Jesus Christ.

only 10%

of U.S. churches offer tangible support to disabled people

God is calling us to mobilize the church so that people with disabilities can feel the love of Jesus.

Our Story

Renewal Missions was founded in 2014 when our founder, David Pat, saw a need to help churches learn about orphan care and how to serve those with disabilities. David noticed how many children's homes were hurting, and lacked support from churches.

He began leading short-term missions teams to serve in children's homes and making videos to share the stories and needs of orphans globally. Today, we are proud to serve alongside hundreds of partners and volunteers to provide support to vulnerable children globally and help share the Gospel with kids in need.
