The RENEW exercise group?
The RENEW Exercise Group is an initiative of the Jannet Hopewell Ministries where people are encouraged to come together, bound by a commonality of purpose which is to help each other live a healthy, wellness and wholeness lifestyle through joint exercises, joint dietary & nutritional awareness, mindfulness and the practical application of the living word of God to their daily lives and health. We believe that regular exercises are also necessary for good health, Spirit, Mind & Body balance.

Biblical Application:
At RENEW we advocate that regular exercise is necessary for overall good health, Spirit, Mind & Body balance. Apostle Paul told Timothy who he was mentoring this, saying: "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." (1 Timothy 4v8) Our determination is to encourage groups to be fitness conscious as well as take steps to keep together the essential connection between their Spirt, Mind, Soul & Body at all times.

The encouragement:
Therefore, women (and men) are encouraged to start/form groups with others with whom they can pursue their fitness and wholenss agenda together. As a practice groups can gather together frequently to go on walks through parks/countryside, do joint stretch exercises, bike ride, go swimming, playing table tennis, plan a healthy diets together or go out to eat together at a health conscious eatry or engage in other sporting events that helps & promotes their collective & personal health & fitness. [Read Daniel 1v6-16]

Group Prayer Consciousness:
Group members are encouraged to pray together before and after their exercises and also get into the habit of praying for each other over their health challenges, stress concerns, troubles and other matters that may be causing them concerns or apprehension. As it is written in the Book of James: "Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." (James 5v13-16).

The Group Identity:
Whilst the RENEW Exercise Groups may have the appearance of a social group with friends gathering together to have a good time by engaging in health & fitness lifestyle, It is also important to be focused on the REAL PURPOSE which mainly is: To fellowship together through Christ Jesus & to join forces to help others rise out of their poor health circumstances and become over comers also in areas of the health, living, lifestyle, diet, nutrition and physical soundness. Group members are inspired to grow together stronger in their natural & spiritual walk with Christ.
