This month we celebrate our long-time association with India Transformed!, an organization that raises support and awareness for programs that empower vulnerable children, women, and communities in India. By delivering hope through faith, lives are transformed spiritually, socially, and economically. The vision is for all people in India to live an abundant life.  

The annual Pie-a-Thon, held every fall, benefits the Arise! Women’s Empowerment Program. Through a six-month tailoring and literacy course, impoverished women learn the necessary skills to find jobs and true hope for a better tomorrow.

Volunteer: Volunteers are needed to help with pie making on Thursday/Friday/Saturday, September 28, 29, 30, and/or October 5, 6, 7.
Purchase Apple Pies: You may order pies for pick up at the volunteer site, at St. John’s Church, or at the school. You are only guaranteed pies if you pre-order, pre-pay, and pick up. To pre-order pies, use the link below. You may also donate any amount. 

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”   Matthew 28:19-20 

The St. John's Missions Team supports local Christian organizations and missionaries serving around the world. The Missions Team grants funds to individuals connected to St. John's on short- or long-term missions with organizations providing outreach with the Gospel and humanitarian aid.  

With Christ as our example and our guide, we encourage others to participate in local and world missions and use their God-sized heart of love for others. While missions help others, it also changes those who do the helping. Both those who go and those who pray and send are vital to missions.

The St. John's/Renewal Missions Team is looking for mission-minded people! We get to learn about near and far missions organizations, hear from missionaries, and see how God is working in every corner of the world. If you have a desire to promote missions in our St. John's and Renewal communities and can give a few hours a month of your time, contact Heidi Boettcher, hmboettcher99@gmail.com.
