The other evening as I was meeting with another group of volunteers who had gathered to offer their expertise to RENEWANATION, I heard it again! 
The man who said it will soon be reaching retirement. He seemed to be a fairly successful man in most every respect. He owns his own business which seems to be doing very well. He sits on several organizational and community boards. He was obviously respected among the group that night. But his statement had passion in it!
As I listened, I thought of how many times I had heard others make similar statements. I thought of the regret I had heard in voices and the remorse I had often seen on faces. And here it was again!
The statement was made in response to a simple question asked by the person chairing the meeting, “Why have you come tonight?”
The impassioned reply was, “To help fix what my generation broke!”
The man was speaking of the broken systems that RENEWANATION is committed to changing: today’s culture and ethic, the decline of morality and the family, a broadening disregard for human life… and almost everything.
How did we get here? 
Simple! We stopped ‘bringing up our children in the way they should go’ and gave them to a system we call “public education”.  
For some time now “public education” has not shared the core values of the average American family. For years though, this system has been happy to take our children - and the money it gets with them… to indoctrinate our kids in a worldview that has most of us staggering in horror and disbelief!
But the time has come “to help fix what our generation broke!” 
We believe it is time to RENEWANATION. 
We intend to do that by going back to the basics of “offering every child a Christian world view.”
If you would like more information or would like to speak to a RENEWANATION representative, please contact us.
We welcome your participation with RENEWANATION.

A few days ago I met a man looking for help.  He was quite my senior and somewhat confined to his wheelchair.  The problem was that this man was in transit through a large European airport where he had been dropped off at his next gate to wait for over three hours before boarding.

One quick look into his eyes told me the man was in trouble.  I approached him to ask if I could help.  Fortunately, I could communicate in his language and was able to give him the help he needed.

That brief help opened up over 12 hours of dynamic conversation with a man who had lived most of his life as a Christian under socialist rule in a country where the government systematically oppressed the celebration of religious expression and faith and strictly controlled the children.

Seven years ago he and part of his family immigrated to the US, the land of promise, the land of faith and freedom!  He envisioned heaven… but the man shared with me his disappointment over the lack of spiritual conviction he saw in our churches and the evident lack of moral education he had seen in our school children.

Then he asked the question, “What do you think it will take to make America what I had always envisioned it to be – a great and Godly nation?”

I was delighted to share with him our vision for America through RENEWANATION.   

I wish you could have seen his eyes light up!  He is now part of our prayer team.
