Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening

"I would like to thank Arise for helping me through some of my darkest times. Depression and suicide haunted me, and my

faith was shaken before finding support through your organization."

"Arise helped me heal from abuse I didn’t even realize I had been living through for five

years. Through the group and book club, I connected with women who truly understand

me. Our stories may be different, but our healing is shared. Arise opened the door to the

journey God was calling me to take, and I didn’t have to walk it alone. I’m learning to love

myself and advocate for myself again."

"Walking through this season of my life has been difficult, but finding this community has been one of God's greatest gifts along the way. Being surrounded by women who understand, listen without judgment, pray with me, and share their own stories has reminded me that I am not alone. This group has given me strength, perspective, and hope as I begin to heal and move forward. I am incredibly grateful for the women who have walked beside me and reminded me that healing is possible."

"Arise has given me a safe place to heal through 1:1 counseling, Thursday groups where I've connected with some truly amazing women, and Sunday book club where we dive deeper into healing from trauma. I was also incredibly honored to be the first recipient of the Benevolence fund, which helped me restore my cell phone service and catch up on my past-due car payments. Having those necessities restored meant I could receive important calls and have reliable transportation to get to job interviews. Arise! has given me more than financial support -- it has given me connection, hope, and the tools to keep moving forward in my healing journey."

"Over the years, I became increasingly aware that several relationships in my life and in the lives of several close friends reflected unhealthy and toxic patterns. Even with this knowledge and much studying, I struggled to fully understand the dynamics involved. After learning about Arise! I personally participated in the Soul Care program, joining the book club and support groups. Learning from Donita and the Arise! ministry has been truly life-changing. I deeply value the friendships, support, and encouragement I have found among the women involved, as we walk through some very difficult seasons together with faith and compassion."
