We believe that women who are equipped to live boldly for the gospel are a key to unlocking movements of the gospel in the world’s spiritually darkest places.
Through Arise, East-West helps women take action and follow the Holy Spirit to be bold and reach the lost by:
Connecting women to each other through a mutual passion to see God move.
Desired Outcome: Women will understand their role in the Great Commission and be equipped to go boldly together to bring the world an encounter with Jesus.
These are the four characteristics that describe the cultural values of Arise.
AUTHENTICITY: A community of women who are intentionally known and know one another
RELATIONSHIP: Pursuing Jesus together in real connectedness to Him and one another
SIGNIFICANCE: Desiring to make this life count for eternity
ADVENTURE: Living a life of radical faith and courage
As women participate in Arise, their hearts expand with passion for Jesus and His heart for the world. Groups of women are going to be mobilized to catch the fire of a movement and know how to take action, calling women from the sidelines, connecting other women in their cities, and commissioning them to bring the world an encounter with Jesus. A massive harvest awaits, leading to the vision of 70 teams of women in 70 different cities multiplying and moving what was birthed through the vision of Arise in 2019.
This vision was inspired by Numbers 11:17-18, when God invited Moses to bring 70 leaders into the tent of meeting. There, He put the same spirit that was on Moses on these leaders to multiply and expand what God was doing. Arise is seeking 70 women from 70 different cities who will call others to arise, lock arms, and go into the world to seek and save the lost.
If you have any questions or would like to get involved with Arise, please contact Julie King at [email protected] or watch this video.
There are many ways to get involved with Arise including short-term mission teams, events, bible studies, weekly prayer calls, evangelism trainings, giving, and more.
In 2021, Arise staff grew from just three to a team of eight. Our 70 cities vision expanded past Dallas to nine cities. Teams of women are leading in hopes to build, expand, and explode the vision of Arise. Thousands of women have joined Arise, and the testimonies speak for themselves.
