Renew Health

Indigenous health empowerment

Jesus restores health in every area of one’s life, though small communities worldwide are dying from preventable diseases and without knowledge of Jesus. Renew Health is a proven system that helps local leaders identify felt needs in their community’s health and well-being and empowers them to take action. The health toolkit equips both medical professionals and those non-medically trained to facilitate trainings with local leaders. These leaders then take the training to their own communities.
