THIRD DECADE
2006-2016: The Renewal Band and church revitalization ministries helped cast World Renewal's vision, strengthen the local church, and build support for global missions in the USA. During this season, World Renewal expanded into unreached and difficult regions in Africa and Asia, forming strategic partnerships that can open previously closed doors.

SECOND DECADE
1996-2006: World Renewal's first church planting partnership in Brazil demonstrated the value of long-term relationships and became the model for its global church planting ministry. Lasting partnerships in Haiti and Mexico further expanded the mission, with an increasing focus on developing leaders and multiplying churches.

FIRST DECADE
1986-1996: Gary and Carol Wright and their family traveled across the United States, calling men to godly leadership and encouraging families to follow Christ together. Their ministry laid the foundation for World Renewal's global mission, sending missionaries, planting churches, and partnering with ministries throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

FOURTH DECADE
2016-2026: World Renewal continued expanding through strategic partnerships around the world, planting churches, developing leaders, and cultivating the next generation of Great Commission leaders. New collaborations across Latin America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia—along with online training that exploded during COVID—greatly multiplied God’s blessings.
