Arise

The persecution of #Christians in #nigeria has cropped up repeatedly in recent months. Standing with our brothers & sisters who face #persecution is a core part of our #faith. In a special guest blog, Daniel Stevens from Open Doors explores the issues ariseuk.org/blog/weekly-bl…

We are in the final stages of revising and producing a new updated version of the Arise Manifesto, our big picture, researched, #biblical & holistic vision for a better world. Check out the current version on our website ariseuk.org/vision & watch out for the new one soon.

Arise is currently exploring partnerships with a number of #christian festivals. These are great opportunities for Christians to meet, seek God & grow in our faith. Pray they will be great opportunities for more & more people to catch hold of the Arise vision. Watch this space

The Arise Council of Reference held its latest online meeting earlier this month. It’s an incredible group of people with huge #faith, skill and experience who act as a wise sounding board and guidance. We are looking for new members, contact Arise if you are interested.

As we approach the 1st anniversary of the UK making major aid cuts, Catherine Masterman, Christian and former UK official on development policy, offers some thoughts based on the #biblical principles of #solidarity, #Stewardship and #trust ariseuk.org/blog/weekly-bl…

Later this month #Christians around the world will begin observing #lent. Lent is a natural time to be thinking about sharing the good news of Jesus’ with friends & family. Arise has developed the Equipped to Share course to help you do this. Check it out ariseuk.org/campaigns/equi…

Arise is launching a brand-new course for churches. The course helps #churches rediscover God’s mission & live it out in 5 connected ways: sharing #faith, growing #disciples, tackling #injustice, ending #poverty & caring for #creation — all as part of God’s Kingdom. More soon.

As we see more crazy news on our screens every day, have a look at this blog from Arise last year on how #Christians can keep on having #hope and #perseverance in tough times, and keep up the fight for a better world. Lots of highly relevant ideas ariseuk.org/blog/weekly-bl…

Asylum looks set to be a big political issue in the UK this year, like last year and the year before. It’s a heated topic, where emotions often become disconnected from the real evidence. In our latest blog we look at the facts to help us make sense of it ariseuk.org/blog/weekly-bl…

More and more Christians want to pray & act for peace, freedom, an end to poverty, and the restoration of God’s creation. But we don’t have enough local Arise grps to connect everyone. We’re inviting volunteers to start a grp in their church. Get involved ariseuk.org/sign-up

A belated Happy New Year to all. As the news grows ever more troubling, stand with Arise for love, truth, justice and compassion. Together, let us #pray, give & act for God’s Kingdom, in hope to share #faith, challenge #injustice, end #poverty and restore the #environment in 2026

We have a new page of recommended resources on our website. Take a look at these brilliant books and resources for inspiring and equipping #Christians to share #faith, grow in #discipleship, tackle #socialinjustice, end poverty and care for #creation. ariseuk.org/about-us/lates…

Arise now has members in the constituencies of more than 100 MPs. Arise grps are building relationships with their MPs & meeting them to discuss tackling social injustice, reducing poverty & caring for the environment. Sign up to join a grp & get involved ariseuk.org/sign-up

Ten years since the #ParisAgreement, 30 years since the first UN climate negotiations, Brazil have just hosted the latest, #cop30, in Belém, but COP30 only had limited successes. We pick through them in our latest blog ariseuk.org/blog/weekly-bl…

Most people who join Arise hear about us through friends already involved. Help us spread the word about God’s plan to share our #faith, tackle #socialinjustice, end #poverty & care for creation. Forward this message to a friend & ask them to sign up ariseuk.org/sign-up

Disappointing to see the UK opted out of supporting the new Tropical Forests Forever Facility #TFFF launched at #COP30 yesterday. Protecting the world’s tropical #rainforests is one of the most important things we can do to combat #climatechange and #biodiversity loss. Shame.

Take action to tackle #climatechange with Arise this month, as the governments of the world gather in Belém, Brazil, for the #COP30 climate negotiations. Click to act now ariseuk.org/take-action/mo…

As British public life seems to be drifting disturbingly towards the far right, in our latest blog we ask what is happening, why is it happening and what can be done about it? Check it out now ariseuk.org/blog/weekly-bl…

It is now several weeks since the Trump #Gaza peace plan. There are Israeli troop withdrawals, the return of hostages, and access for #humanitarian aid. But also #ceasefire violations, and things remain fragile. Arise members will keep up prayers and actions for a lasting #peace

Last month’s Arise action spotlighted anti-asylum and flag protests, urging the PM to defend free speech while prosecuting racism & incitement. Your actions (along with others) made a difference — he did this in his Labour Party Conference speech in Liverpool. Well done.
