Executive Director George Ackron welcomes you to Renovator Ministries

Renovator Ministries was developed out of a growing concern to impart new vigor to  the Body of Christ one heart at a time by once again introducing them to Jesus Christ in a new and fresh way- Master and Teacher!

Renovator Ministries knows that God uses His people as instruments in apprenticing His people but the true Discipler is Jesus Christ. Hence Renovator Ministries is all about teaching His beloved how to develop, have complete confidence in, and nourish oneself totally on Jesus Christ.

Drawing from the teachings of the great discipleship mentors of our times and past, Renovator Ministries offers direct assistance and counsel in how one can begin to walk intimately with God never losing the focus that Jesus is the discipler. Renovator Ministries is keenly aware that the majority of resources used to introduce their apprentices to an intimate walk with Jesus Christ have been available for many years, but not widely accessed. Therefore our role is mainly to bring these materials to the forefront of your life and provide encouragement in their use so as to help those interested move to a Spiritual Formation in Christlikeness.

For too long the security of saying a prayer to secure your eternity through Christ's atoning work on the cross has sufficed. There is more to the Christian life than a conversion prayer and the Body is once again becoming aware of this and hungering for an intimate walk with Jesus. In a recent survey George Barna has found a hunger for spiritual formation arising in the hearts of the Body of Christ. 

Jesus told us again and again in His Word there is so much more to the Christian life than just accepting His atoning death on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He told us that He came to give us life and life in abundance, an abundance of love, joy, inner peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

But as we survey The Christian landscape today is this the case? I would submit to you it is not. Why is this? 

Imagine your neighbor is having trouble with his car. He probably has a lemon but then you hear he supplements his gasoline with a quart of water every fill up causing the car to run in fits and starts. The car was not built upon the conditions imposed by the owner. After some renovator work on the car and pure fuel in the tank it should run just fine.

Now look at us as Christians. What are we running on? Are we truly giving ourselves over in a way that allows us to be completely overtaken by the fuel we need. Are we continually growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus? Who among Christians today in any substantive case is an apprentice of Jesus?

What you will find within this site is not another program or a quick fix to behavior change but a process to teach you how to feast on Jesus Christ for radical transformation in the human system i.e. in how you think, feel, choose, use your body, and relate to others.

Change will occur only as you care for each of these parts of the human system and our aim is to help you understand. Understanding is the basis of care.  You will see that caring for these areas of your system entails surrendering each of them to Christ. There can be no transformation to Christlikeness apart from self-denial and there can be no captive set free apart from transformation to Christlikeness.

We have developed pathways to Jesus for you that meets you where you are in your journey with Jesus.   If you are a beginner and are wondering what is an apprentice of Christ and why does it matter we have introductory material we call "LIGHT" RED. If you wish to seriously engage Jesus in the spiritual practices as a way of life we have material to help you we call DEEP RED. If you wish just to interact with a mentor
online we even have an online study here for you to experience.

Additionally we  offer "spiritual direction retreats" and for church leaders who are open to exploring a change of course for their "church" from consumerism to apprenticeship we offer a one day vision casting workshop.

All of these pathways plus much more is contained within the different rooms of this ministry. We invite you to explore and look forward to serving you anywhere in the USA. Just click the CONTACT US link to find the office nearest to where you live.
