Sponsor a Child Today!
RENEWANATION has just rolled out a new student sponsorship program. The concept is not a new one, as millions of individuals spend $30-40 each month to help feed a child overseas. However, RENEWANATION’s program is focused on providing Christian Worldview training to children. If we hope to raise up a new generation of Christian thinkers and leaders we must feed their minds Biblical Truth. This is our mission.
When you sponsor a student, you can choose to sponsor a child being trained in a Christian school, Homeschool or Public School ministry. Each person will be given a specific student and will receive updates throughout the year as to the progress of the student they are sponsoring. You can click here to see a sample sponsorship card. Next week, we will provide you with a link where you can sign up to sponsor a child.

You Could Save Thousands on Healthcare
RENEWANATION and Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM) are working together to bring you a biblical, affordable solution to health care costs. CHM is not a health insurance company; rather, they are thousands of Christians united in sharing each other’s medical bills. As the original health cost sharing ministry (founded in 1981), members of this nonprofit ministry have shared more than $1 billion in health care costs in the last 20 years alone. If you love the idea of Christians sharing each other’s burdens and if you need to save some money in the area of healthcare, contact our office today for more details.
