South Africa, 2016

Through our partnership with Kerus Global we were able to visit Pretoria, South Africa and work in an orphan care center.  That developed into the Safe House Project.  We are now invested in doing out part to save the lives of vulnerable children from the threat of sex trafficking.  

To donate to the Safe House, help cover our travel costs back to Africa, or partner in some other way...

Discipleship

We see among many youth and young adults a continual distrust of the church and spiritual leadership, and we believe this is due to a lack of discipleship. Through a core belief of "relational evangelism," Expect Renaissance, Inc. is creating initiatives to develop missional leaders who will impact the youth and young adults of Hampton Roads with the character and competency of Jesus Christ.  Your partnership and support make it possible to facilitate the initiatives we have seen used successfully to make disciples of this generation.

More information to come as we further develop our programs.

racial reconciliation

In response to the all of the divisions we see in our country, Expect Renaissance has partnered with CrossRoads Church to engage church leaders and the community in intentional reconciliation dialogues.  The Collective is an effort to bring leaders together to address areas of strife and think critically and compassionately beyond platforms and preferences to respond to our community in a Gospel centered way.

Expect Renaissance, Inc. is a non-profit that uses gospel hip hop music and culture to impact youth and young adults through concerts, artist discipleship, and missional events.  ER has been impactful in Hampton Roads, around the US, as well as London, Kenya and South Africa. ER helped complete construction of a Safe House in Soshanguve, South Africa to protect children from sex trafficking and founded the Safe House Project, Inc. to fund that safe house and safe houses here in the U.S. 

We are celebrating 2019 successes of reaching youth and young adults through concerts, speaking at schools, the growth of the Safe House Project, racial reconciliation dialogues, preaching, and more!   

We’re Expecting Great Things in 2020 and beyond and, at the Banquet, we will share our future impact plans for expanding our outreach efforts at schools, churches, and prisons, through speaking, concerts, partnerships, and racial reconciliation dialogues.

mentoring and discipleship

Expect Renaissance, Inc. was birthed out of the mission of gospel hip hop label Renaissance Movement Music (RMM) to "Challenge the Culture" with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Unfortunately, in our community, many aspiring gospel hip hop artists are discouraged from using their gifts because of the lack of support, development and guidance as to how to use their gifts.

Our vision is to provide discipleship and intentional development to hip hop artists to teach them how to live lives worthy of imitation, and effectively leverage their gifts for the glory of God.  Your partnership will help us continue what RMM has begun—supporting hip hop artists who can effectively engage and challenge the culture with their art.
