About Renewed Hope Missions: Renewed Hope Missions was created to reach out and provide hope to the people of the communities the church serves. With the help of churches from around the US and the International Rotary, money was raised to buy land, build a school, and a water filtration system in Cuesta Arena, a small village outside the city of Santiago. Sarah spent many summers and a year in Santiago as a missionary, working to establish the school and work with Pastora Sairy and the church. Sarah has led mission trips of children, youth, and adults to bring fresh water, start a preschool and after school care for Cuesta Arena. Through the construction of the school and the distribution of clean water, the church has been empowered to serve their community by providing education and spiritual development. Sarah continues to follow the dream of connecting people to mission and bringing hope to communities through Renewed Hope Missions.
