Our Story
Love. Faith. Strength. Serve. Welcome to ARISE
Passionate, strong and nurturing, created in the image of God. We are daughters of the King, serving in many roles in society: wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, business women and housewives.
Arise calls for women to arise, get out of their comfort zones and discover Him intimately. It is a movement of women who love to challenge, grow and live powerfully! We create places, journeys and encounters, full of inspiration, where we can rediscover our worth and identity in Christ. Together, we discover new outlooks on our lives and descend to the depths of our hearts and souls. Raw, pure, and real! Dressed with faith, hope, courage, and maturity, women can go back to where God placed us to live out our true identity and make a lasting contribution to transformation in this world.
