During the first few weeks of Renewal, I've felt an incredible amount of God's grace on these efforts. And what a great start we've had! Just last weekend, over 50 Christian students gathered at Eastern University to get inspired and equipped to lead our communities in just and compassionate stewardship of God's creation. Meeting so many young Christian leaders engaged in creation care from around the country truly encouraged me! God has great things in store for this community, as we work together for the renewal of His creation!

What's more, on October 29^th the students of Renewal are calling for Christians around the globe to join hands and hearts to pray for the renewal of God's creation! This collective prayer is being expressed in a variety of creative ways including art walls, classroom prayers, silent vigils, mid-day campus gatherings, creation care Bible studies and mealtime prayers for God's creation!

Folks around the world are taking part in this momentous occasion! Committed Christians from France to Oklahoma to Seattle to Thailand to North Carolina are joining together in prayer- as come we together as a community to express gratitude for God's amazing creation and seek forgiveness, wisdom, and leadership in our endeavors to care for the earth, as well as each other.
