We have been blessed to serve in hosting camps for families and couples since 2002, before helping found Renewing Grace Together in 2016.  

Since 2016, our primary focus has been hosting retreats for families and couples in ministry.  Having helped coordinate volunteer groups, including ones brought by pastors, colleges, corporations, and national organizations from all over the U.S., to help in disaster areas, gratitude flows from our innermost beings for each of you as you participate in eternally impacting, while still here on earth, truly amazing Kingdom work, transforming lives.  

During these efforts to help those in need, individuals like you have made a incredible difference, having helped host them with lodging, meals, locations, activity options and opportunities, has been a joy, while at the same time providing emotional, mental, and spiritual comfort for those affected by trauma – all very similar to hosting retreats! 

So grateful for all those who volunteer and give of their time, resources, and sweat equity!

Today, Wyndy enjoys serving as Director and (usually!) loves watching how Holy Spirit unwraps each day to minister to those in need. Hosting retreats is more work than one can imagine, but truly eternally rewarding, as so often tears flow from guests in gratitude to you all who pour into them with your support.  Their tears also flow when they don’t want to leave!

Chris serves within Renewing Grace Together on the Board, makes delicious meals when hosting retreats for those in ministry and their families, and is currently receiving boots-on-the-ground, intense training via Pastoral Chaplaincy Education (PCE) at Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

During our 24 years of marriage, Paul and I have had the opportunity to serve in several different ministries. As ministry leaders, we have experienced first-hand the stress a leadership position can have on us as individuals and also in our marriage. I have been involved with Renewing Grace Together since the organization's inception and have been personally blessed by the Renewing, Refreshing, Restorative retreats that Renewing Grace Together has to offer.  Both Paul and I have served in various capacities within the ministry including hosting retreats, web design/social media, recordkeeping, and advising. I urge you to support this ministry so pastors and leaders can be blessed with Renewal, Refreshment and Restoration!

Paul & Teresa Hale

Having been blessed by the ministry of Renewing Grace Together in many ways, we are excited to partner with Renewing Grace Together to help provide many more ministry leaders a relaxing place to connect with their families.  Seeing firsthand pastoral couples who need the opportunity to be refreshed to return to those they serve, we desire to help encourage them to impact even more those in their community.  Join us today to bless even more!

Renewing Grace Together Inc.

Mind, Body, and Soul...Pouring Into the Whole Being

The journey began with, "We see you hosting retreats for pastors and their spouses."  The vision was propelled forward with hosting retreats for families. This led to a movement that gave birth to a haven, now known as Renewing Grace Together. 

Pouring into the leaders highlighted an important factor among pastors, ministry leaders, and non-profit professionals alike:  Stress and Burnout play a huge role in the balance of work and family life. 

Having seen the impact of previous retreats, Renewing Grace Together introduced camps and retreats for the families of those who serve others. Beginning in 2016, with the help and support of people like you, the organization began focusing on healing relationships and pouring into families, establishing them with the essentials needed to support the wellness of the families who serve others.   

Impacting Others So They Can Impact the World

Kyle and Becca have both served tirelessly as leaders in organizations that serve people with special abilities. As their anniversary approached, Kyle knew he wanted to do something for his bride, but had little funds and no idea what to plan. In Kyle’s words, “Jesus stepped in and said 'I’ve already got it planned for you!' ”  Becca’s comment in our retreat guest book tells the rest of the story this summer of 2021:

"My husband and I haven’t been on a date in over a year! I was at work on Friday, teaching preschool all day, and it was just one of those days that had me almost in tears. I love my job, but in preschool, we just have those days. I got home tired, but thankful it was the weekend. Kyle surprised me and told me he had a trip planned out! We never do anything like that, so I was shocked and so happy to be getting away for a few days. The surprises kept coming throughout the weekend...God showed us His love to us over and over again. The house is perfect and cute with so many fun details. We loved all of the outdoor areas! We enjoyed the best meal ever at Rogue Manor and shopped in a lot of the cute little shops downtown. God knew we needed this getaway and He used His children to make it happen! I’m excited to go home and love my family better because I feel rested and refreshed!"

There is a reason why God calls us to rest, to lie down in green pastures beside the still waters...He knows what our souls are in need of, time at the sanctuary at Eureka Springs helped me to find some rest for my weary soul. What an amazing escape to be alone with Him away from the chaos and noise of life."

"We had such a wonderful time! … Thanks again so much for the wonderful opportunity!"

 (Statistics above are from before the events which have challenged the world the last two years!)

In the last year, Renewing Grace Together has hosted ministry leaders at 17 retreats in Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri. Your partnering with this mission has enabled the organization to pour into 54 individuals seeking a period of solace and restoration, impacting the leadership of 26 ministries with improved mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Together, with your support, Renewing Grace Together has been able to help pastors, ministry leaders, and nonprofit professionals to return to the frontlines better equipped to serve others. 

Let’s Renew, Refresh, & Restore Servant Leaders Together!

To highlight and minister to the importance of mental and spiritual health, your help is needed to pour into the lives of pastors, ministry leaders, and nonprofit professionals, and their families, who help serve others within their communities.

By taking care of the shepherds who tirelessly pour out, you can help encourage community leaders in fulfilling the responsibilities of their role in a healthy manner.  

Your gift of any amount will help Renewing Grace Together to host more people to Renew, Refresh, & Restore, thus impacting our world for good.
