David and Stephanie Palusky, Founders of Renew World Outreach, on the Technology that Changed the Missions World Forever (Ep. 67)


Listen Later

David and Stephanie Palusky are the founders of Renew World Outreach, which provides innovative technology to missions organizations to enable the gospel to reach the hardest to reach places. David, an electrical engineer by training, and Stephanie first dove into the technology realm on the mission field to reach a specific people group that God had laid on their hearts. 

They realized that solar power could allow them to reach this particular remote Amazon tribe with the Jesus Film. From this small seed, they began to develop more solar projectors to provide to other agencies. As Renew continued to grow, they began to develop other products, such as the LightStream, which acts like a local wifi hotspot to distribute the bible, audio, and video in crowds and large public places.

While Renew started out as a for-profit company, David and Stephnie later went on to give up ownership in order to expand the impact of the organization. And God blessed their generosity by multiplying the impact of Renew across the world.

In addition to the power of technology, David and Stephanie share countless stories of faith. They have seen God work in incredible ways and we were amazed at some of the things they have seen.

David and Stephanie had plenty to say on topics including:

  • How technology had radically changed the missions landscape
  • Many of the specific devices that Renew has developed
  • What technology looks like in action with plenty of stories from the field
  • The impact of ministry partnerships in hastening the spread of the gospel
  • The remaining barriers to bringing the gospel to everyone everywhere
  • Listen now to hear all they had to share, you won’t want to miss this one!

    QUOTES TO REMEMBER
    • “This Jesus did not just come for the Hispanic, did not just come for the white man, he came for our people too.”
  • “Trust God for one step at a time”
  • “There is a seamless, frictionless ability to virally spread the word of God which in 2000 years has never been available. “
  • “When you get to a point of giving where you have to risk something – that’s when you see the windows of heaven open. That’s when miracle after miracle happens.”
  • “It’s like oxygen to think about the works of God”
