Jim and Stacie
Jim and Stacie have been missionaries in various countries for the past 30 years. They are now based in the eastern port town of Fajardo in Puerto Rico. They are using a cruising sailboat in the Caribbean Sea between Puerto Rico and the nearby Virgin Islands. Retreats, cruises, fishing trips, and sailing training are part of outreach and discipleship ministries.
Couples’ retreats – Jim & Stacie desire to schedule regular small-group sailing retreats where struggling couples can enjoy mutual encouragement with other couples who need marriage enrichment.
Missions trips – S/V Renewal is perfect for hosting other ministry sailors, specifically our coworkers with Maritime Ministries. Sometimes for joint ministry outreach in the islands and sometimes for fellowship/strategizing aboard.
Missionaries and Pastors – The hospitality ministry makes good use of S/V Renewal throughout the year. Sailing away has been an excellent way to disconnect from the demands of ministry. A great option for stressed out or hurting couples who’ve been referred by fellow ministry leaders. Please email the Bowers if you are concerned about your pastor, or a missionary friend, who you think needs to step away for awhile.
