Re:Group

“Make the community livable again.” –Isaiah 58:12

At Project:Re3, we believe that sitting in a pew on Sunday morning isn’t the primary way of answering the call of Isaiah 58. True, worship is part of the overall Christian experience, but God also wants His church to serve, to make a difference, to make the community livable again. And we believe God has equipped everyone with the unique talents and abilities that are needed to impact the world for Christ.
At its very core, Project:Re3 is a “missions hub” that accomplishes outreach through our  “Re:Group” teams and partnerships. Re3 members are encouraged to identify, pursue, and align with a team that matches the special calling God has placed on their hearts—or start a “Re:Group” of their own. These teams then engage with the “community all-stars” with whom we’ve partnered, like Anthony’s Plot, Prodigals Ministries, or Salvation Army, to meet the needs that exist locally, regionally, and globally.
However, we recognize that some Re3 members may carry specific burdens that do not match the purview of any established organization or community partner. In that case, Project:Re3 will work with those individuals to establish something new and make their ministry dreams a reality.

El Salvador - Our friends Jon and Danielle Snyder in El Salvador believe in utilizing short-term teams to grow their long-term vision in El Salvador.
