Richard Foster says this about Springs of Living Water!:

       "I count on one hand the number of renewal efforts across the country that really understand the message of spiritual formation and how it actually works for the transformation of the human person into Christlikeness. Springs of Living Water! is high on that short list. Under the capable servant-leadership of David Young it provides a model for spiritual growth that can be studied with genuine profit. I give my highest recommendation to Springs of Living Water!”

 

The pre-conference workshop for the Renovare Regional Conference provides an outstanding opportunity to learn practical, proven methods that enable you to take God’s invitation of renewal back to your congregation. The workshop will include an overview of a seven fold renewal process, giving you a step-by-step means of developing a focused ministry in your church.

  • Learn about forming a renewal team to facilitate spiritual renewal and encourage congregational involvement throughout the spiritual process.
