Grand Opening of RenovArte

On Thursday, we had our grand opening for the uni students at RenovArte Café. What an awesome day!


It gave us great joy to see God's hand at work and to see the café full of almost 20 uni students at one point during the afternoon. That is why we are here - to make connections, to live out a life transformed by Jesus Christ and to make disciples!

RenovArte - NOW OPEN!!

Thanks so much for your thoughts, prayers and encouragement over the past months. It's big news... RenovArte is NOW OPEN!!!

We are very excited by what God has done and is doing.

RenovArte opened its doors on Monday whilst we were still doing some minor renovations and installing the speakers for the audio system. We had four customers which was quite good given that it was a public holiday and there were no students in the university. We still don't have our signage up so we are working on getting the word out through the plaza and inviting the uni students.

This Saturday we will have our grand opening for friends, family and our church to celebrate God's goodness and share with them the vision for our ministry amongst uni students. The following week on Thursday we will be having an official opening for the university students and inviting them to "come and see"!

Check out this short video giving you a quick glimpse of RenovArte cafe.

RenovArte progress... 23 October... belated


We are progressing well with the cafe/gallery fitout although things have been slower than we would have liked. The video report above was prepared three weeks ago and things are considerably more advanced now - some more photos to come!

We have been troubled by slow workers doing some of the more specialised jobs and some badly completed work that we had to get the workers to come back and fix. God has been forming our character through the process and helping us to be patient and to trust in Him!!! We are very excited that things are almost ready... get excited...

RenovArte cafe is very close!!
