Renew 4031
Our mission is to care for and uplift church leaders by providing opportunities for rest, renewal, and growth. We send deserving leaders on much-needed vacations, sponsor their attendance at leadership conferences they may otherwise be unable to afford, and offer pulpit support to ensure they can take time off without worry. By investing in the wellbeing of church leaders, we help them recharge, grow, and lead their congregations with strength and vision.
our founders
With over 15 years of service in ministry, Shane & Jessica Hewatt are passionate about fostering health and vitality within the local church community. Their commitment is rooted in a desire to see leaders and their families thrive.
The mission of Renew 4031 is to empower and equip church leaders to flourish spiritually, emotionally, and relationally, creating a foundation for healthy congregations. We believe that strong, healthy families are vital to sustaining impactful leadership and building vibrant church communities.

we rely on the support of caring individuals and communities to make our mission possible.
Here’s how you can help:
1) Pray & Recommend Leaders
Pray for our ministry and the leaders we serve. If you know a pastor or church leader in need of rest, renewal, or resources, send us their names so we can help them experience the RRR they deserve.
2) Give Financially
Your donations make our work possible. Whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring contribution, every dollar helps. We’re seeking 40 individuals to give $31 monthly to help us reach our initial goal—and once we do, we’ll expand to 400 families giving $31 monthly. Your generosity fuels our mission.
3) Donate Properties
Have a condo, cabin, or timeshare? Consider donating it for a short time so we can offer deserving leaders a peaceful getaway to recharge and reconnect.
