After 13 years in youth ministry Paul felt called to take on the challenge of transitioning a struggling church into a healthy and growing one. God has blessed White Flag since his arrival and the church has more than tripled in size. He is a graduate of Johnson University\, with both his Bachelors in Youth Ministry & Preaching and a Masters in New Testament. Paul is blessed with a wonderful wife\, Julia\, two adult children and three grandchildren. \n \n Read Bio \nChris VandeLinde​\nChris VandeLinde​\n \n Read Bio \nJosh Howard\nJosh Howard has lived in India since 2008 and has a passion to see the Kingdom of God spread throughout the world through raising up disciples who make disciples\, leaders who create leaders\, and churches that plant churches. In 2015\, he launched a ministry called “Ignite\,” which has seen over 38\,000 churches started in about 9 years through movements of multiplication. Josh currently serves as the Global Mobilization Catalyst for E3 Partners and Director of Vision and Mobilization for Discipleship.org. Josh and his wife\, Lashi and the three kids Jeremiah\, Josiah and Zara live in the Indianapolis area. \n \n Read Bio \nAshlee Catizon\nAshlee Catizon is a youth leader for The Crossings Church in St. Charles County Missouri.

In 2004\, along with about 30 others\, they relocated to be part of The Crossings church plant. Since that time\, she has been serving as the youth ministry leader\, alongside RJ\, and in the worship ministry for almost 20 years. Ashlee has a passion for helping the younger generation know that their life is valuable\, that they can get through the hard years of High School\, that God designed them to live for a greater purpose and that they cannot only survive but thrive. This passion stems from her own experiences as a teenager and believing that God could perhaps use her in helping others to avoid the pitfalls and lies from Satan at such a defining age. \n \n Read Bio \nClayton Hentzel\nClayton Hentzel is the Lead Pastor at The Crossing – a multisite church gathering in 11 locations across three states.

In No Turning Back\, Dr. Ajai Lall and Josh Howard take you inside the true stories of Indian believers who choose bold obedience over comfort\, even when it means persecution\, poverty\, or death. These are not spiritual elites. They’re everyday people living out the radical\, world-changing faith Jesus actually calls “normal.” \nThrough stories of forgiveness\, courage\, generosity\, and sacrificial love\, you’ll discover what it means to trade lukewarm religion for a life that counts. This isn’t a call to become an extraordinary Christian. It’s an invitation to become an ordinary one—and in doing so\, to live an extraordinary life.No more excuses. No more half-hearted faith. \nThis is your invitation to follow Jesus—with no turning back. \n \n Register Now\n \nAdd the companion book for just $10 during registration.\n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\n 8:00am — Doors Open\n \n\n 9:00am — Worship\n \n\n 9:20am — Ajai Lall: No Turning Back Part 1\n \n\n 10:10am — Josh Howard: No Turning Back Part 2\n \n\n 11:00am — Group Discussion\n \n\n 11:20am — Break\n \n\n 11:30am — Clayton Hentzel: Measuring what Matters\n \n\n 12:25pm — Group Discussion\n \n\n 12:45pm — Lunch (Lunch Sponsored by Lifeline Christian Mission)\n \n\n 1:50pm — Worship\n \n\n 2:00pm — Ashlee Catizon: Discipling Women at the Crossings\n \n\n 2:50pm — Chris VandeLinde: The Necessity of Disciple Making\n \n\n 3:40pm — Group Discussions\n \n\n 4:00pm — Break\n \n\n 4:10pm — Worship\n \n\n 4:15pm — Paul Wingfield: Strong Discipleship\n \n\n 5:15pm — Event Close\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n Tickets\n The numbers below include tickets for this event already in your cart.

Under the theme “Devoted\,” we will return to the powerful pattern of the early church in Acts 2:42-47 \nTwo times in the five verses God inspired Luke to use the word “Devoted.” \nThe Greek word for “devoted” — προσκαρτερέω (proskartereō) — means to be strong toward something with steadfast persistence. It is not occasional interest or half-hearted effort. It is wholehearted\, enduring commitment that shapes every part of church life. \nWe will explore what this kind of devotion looks like in today’s world and how the four essential practices in Acts 2:42-47 can transform your ministry. \n\n The Word – Apostles’ Teaching\n\nScripture is the Word of God. We cannot objectively know the truths we need about God and how we are to obey Him apart from the apostles’ teaching. Yet too many churches and leaders over-emphasize knowledge at the expense of transformation. At the Gathering\, you will discover how to make God’s Word the vibrant\, central engine of disciple making. Through powerful teaching\, workshops\, and discussion\, you’ll gain tools to help your people not just know the Bible\, but live it—fueling obedience\, maturity\, and multiplication across generations (2 Timothy 2:2). \n\n The Fellowship – The People of God\n\nRelationships are essential in disciple making. Jesus’ method\, above all\, was relational. In the Gospels\, He walked\, talked\, ate\, and experienced life with His disciples most of the time. True fellowship (koinonia) goes far beyond surface-level connections. It means deep sharing\, accountability\, generosity\, and doing life together as the family of God. You will leave the Gathering with practical strategies to build life-giving discipling groups and church culture where people truly belong\, grow\, and multiply as devoted followers of Jesus. \n\n The Spirit – Prayer and the Breaking of Bread\n\nThe early church devoted themselves to prayer and communion with God\, and so must we. In a busy\, distracted world\, this is often the first thing to slip. At the Gathering\, we will fan the flames of personal and corporate prayer. You will learn fresh ways to lead your church into persistent\, expectant prayer that aligns with the apostles’ pattern and invites the power of the Spirit. \n\n The Mission – Seek and Save the Lost\n\nJesus’ final words in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) must rank among our highest priorities: “Go and make disciples of all nations.” People are eternally lost without a saving relationship with Jesus. Every person still far from Him desperately needs guidance that comes from genuine trust relationships with intentional Christians. We all must be disciples and help make disciples. \nAt the end of our lives\, nothing else will compare in importance to two simple questions: Were we true disciples of Jesus? And Did we love our family\, friends\, and neighbors enough to help them become true disciples of Jesus? \nNothing captures this better than the Apostle Paul’s heartfelt words in 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 (NLT): “After all\, what gives us hope and joy\, and what will be our proud reward and crown as we stand before our Lord Jesus when he returns? It is you! Yes\, you are our pride and joy.” \nThis is the beautiful\, eternal mission before us. Let it ignite fresh passion in your heart today. May we live as devoted disciples who pour our lives into others\, so that when Jesus returns\, we stand together—our greatest joy\, our shared crown—as a multitude of faithful followers who loved well and multiplied His kingdom. \nThe harvest is ready. Let’s devote ourselves to the mission that matters most. \nJoin us at the 2027 Renew National Gathering. True DEVOTION changes everything. When churches devote themselves to these four practices\, the results are remarkable: awe-inspiring signs of God’s presence\, radical generosity\, favor with outsiders\, and daily additions of new believers (Acts 2:42-47). Past attendees have returned home with renewed energy\, clearer vision\, and reproducible tools that have transformed their disciple-making cultures. \nThis is not just another conference. It is a holy gathering of leaders who refuse to settle for less than the New Testament pattern. You will worship\, learn\, connect\, and be sent out with fresh fire to lead devoted churches. \n\nRegister Now\n \nRENEW.org Gathering\n\n\n\n\n \nTickets\nThe numbers below include tickets for this event already in your cart.

It was good to hear from people in the trenches doing it\, not the famous people who normally speak at conferences because they can draw a crowd. It truly felt like a movement.\nConference Attendee\nThe confraternity. It didn’t feel like I was attending a commercial or time-share sales spiel. The speaker lineup was superb\, as was the thoughtfulness of the entire organization. I’m going home renewed for service.\nConference Attendee\nApplicable to real life ministry. From the spiritual to the practical to the relational I felt like everything actually encouraged and equipped me for boots on the ground ministry. That’s not always been my experience at conferences.\nConference Attendee\nI really enjoyed the break out sessions. I feel like the ones this year were all super solid and focused on building the fortitude of the church\, which is the best remedy for protecting the church and building her up for the next generation.\nConference Attendee\nGreat work emphasizing the next generation and discipleship. And having so many young people present was perfect. Also\, the direct engagement with the LGBTQ+ issue was really good.\nConference Attendee URL:https://renew.org/event/2027-renew-gathering/ LOCATION:Mt.
