Elder Pat Renie

Elder Patricia G. Renie (“Pat”) is truly a witness that the Lord orders our steps. It was at the age of 7-8 years old when the Lord touched her heart while she and her sister were reading the Christmas story, the story about the birth of Christ coming to earth to save us. The story brought her to tears and left an imprint on her heart that remains to this day.

At the age of 14-years old, she committed her life to the Lord. She was a zealous teenager, evangelizing for the Lord and winning souls for Christ. This lifestyle proved challenging at times as she was the only saved person in her home. God always brought people her way pushing her toward her destiny in Him.

Elder Pat recommitted her life to the Lord. In 1999, during some of the hardest challenges in her life, she received the call on her life to preach the gospel. The Lord continued to lead her and in 2003 she was ordained as an elder and served as a staff pastor with a love and a passion for serving the people of God, particularly the brokenhearted, abused, backslidden and unsaved.

Elder Pat’s deep passion is to help brokenhearted, abused people, young and old, particularly females, to find out who God says they are and to dispel the lies of the enemy. She fights against the enemy with the Word, prayer and encouragement to push them toward their destiny in Christ. Elder Pat has been blessed with the ability to minister to young children as well as the elderly.

As a result of her deep passion, in 2006, the Lord birthed in her “I’m Coming Out Ministries.” This ministry was developed to help brokenhearted women of God break the chains that bind them. It is to assist women, young and old, to become empowered and walk in the fullness of Christ.

Elder Pat was born and raised in a project in South Bronx, New York. She is the mother of three children, Jamarll, Ayanna and Jamila, She has two grandsons.

Elder Pat currently serves as an Elder at The Life Church International where she disciples, leads hospitality, greeting, and children's ministries, and teaches Life Group.

She is currently a student of The Blue Letter Bible Institute and Ames International School of Ministry.
