RISEN Together

“RISEN Together” is a program born out of our desire to bring hope to some of the hundreds of millions of people whose current living situation is beyond their control (refuges), who are living in abject poverty (indigents) and who are victims of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. We believe in the old adage of “Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime” and this is the basis of our community coops. However, for millions of people, whose lives are in crisis, they are in need of immediate care. Food and shelter is not something that can be put off till later. We support Church based initiatives, who are on the ground, working with these hurting people and bringing them life giving care. We are also establishing community based cooperatives in different nations under the name “RISEN together”.

In these coops, we provide vocational training and the necessary education to give people the ability to rise up from their adversity. We support the coops by helping them to promote and market their specific trades. In the case of artisans and craftspeople we have created a promotional outlet for their creations (see World Cafe & Gallery).  For more information regarding this program or to find out how to team with us, please contact our ministry.
