What is Strategic Renewal’s origin and history?

Strategic Renewal has been, in existence since 1997. It has held 501(c)3 status since 2001.

CHURCH IN CRISIS / 2000
In 2000, Strategic Renewal was birthed out of the overflow of Daniel Henderson’s pastoral ministry in the local church. Daniel was no stranger to church tragedy in those days. Twice he followed a predecessor who morally disqualified himself and left behind a broken and dismayed group of people. Through these experiences, Daniel learned valuable principles for congregational turnaround and saw how prayer could restore and ignite the church to become an agent of transformation in the community.

FANNING THE FLAMES / 2007
In 2007, God turned a growing passion into a life calling for Daniel Henderson. Daniel’s church sent him out as a “missionary” to ignite fires of revival in churches across the country. This began a season of intense writing, travel, and speaking, spreading the vision for what God could do through healthy, praying churches. Congregations across the country were hungry for the message of renewal and sought Daniel out as an authoritative and helpful voice.

MULTIPLYING THE MOVEMENT / 2010
In 2010, with a collection of 50 pastors from around the country, we began a pastoral fellowship centered around the supreme priorities of the early church leaders, “But we must give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4). The 6:4 Fellowship serves to call pastors to rise above the pragmatism, strategies and social trends of our day, and calls leaders back to the things that bring lasting and supernatural impact.
