Renaut van der Riet

RENAUT VAN DER RIET is passionate about living, teaching, and leading in a way that shows the Gospel of Jesus to be true and beautiful. He lives out that passion first and foremost with his family. Of all the roles he fills, none is as important to him as being a husband to his wife, Brooke, and father to their eight children, four of whom are adopted from Ethiopia. In 2002, he and Brooke founded Mosaic Church in Winter Garden, FL. It has become a nationwide pacemaker for fostering and adoption and a sought after model of how ministries can respond to childhood special needs and trauma care. He is developing The ReStory, a project aimed at providing Gospel clarity to followers of Christ and extending them an invitation to consider how their lives might be different if they dared to believe Galatians 5:1 -- "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."
