About Global Renewal
Global Renewal Incorporated is a 501(c)3 international organization that is dedicated to preaching the Gospel, establishing new churches, rescuing children, and helping addicts find freedom. By training and supporting young leaders and holding evangelistic campaigns, Global Renewal is able to effectively empower new pastors and plant multipliable churches internationally.
Founded by Jesse and Kay Owens in 1998, Global Renewal exists to bring the life changing power of the Gospel to those who need it most. Jesse and Kay travelled to over 100 countries in 20 years, preaching the Gospel and planting churches and Teen Challenge Centers before passing the ministry on to Jesse and Hilary Comrie in 2018.
Jesse Comrie, President
Although he was raised in a Christian family, Jesse ran away from the Lord at a young age. He fell quickly into a life of drug abuse, drug dealing, and other criminal activity. At just 20 years old, Jesse was arrested for armed robbery. By the grace of God, he received a light sentence, but his life still did not change. Through a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit during his third time in prison, Jesse finally surrendered to the love of his Father. His life was forever changed. Since that day, he has given his entire life to telling anyone who will listen about the love of Jesus and the saving power of His cross.
Less than a year after salvation, Jesse enrolled in Zion Bible College where he met Hilary. The two fell in love during weekly street evangelism outings, where they often partnered together to reach the lost. Their relationship started with, and continues to be built upon, a deep love for God and a passion to bring Him to the world.
During Bible school, God called them to leave everything and move to Germany. They lived in Germany for five years, where they led many people to the Lord and planted a church in the town of Boppard. In late 2016, they began sensing an expanded call from God. In 2017, they prayerfully made the decision to move back to America, at the invitation of the Board of Global Renewal, to transition into the leadership of the organization. They are now maintaining a very active travel schedule, holding evangelistic meetings, leadership conferences, raising up young leaders, and planting churches all over the world..
