Rest, Renewal, and the Road Ahead

Dear friends,

A Season of Rest for Vanessa

I wanted to share an update with you. After 25 years of wholehearted service with Arise, our dear friend and long-time team member Vanessa will be taking a six-month sabbatical. She’s decided to take some time out to rest, reflect, and recharge - and while we will miss her hugely, we couldn’t be more supportive of her decision.

We’re praying this season brings her peace, fresh energy, and a renewed sense of purpose. If you’d join us in keeping her in your prayers, we’d be so grateful.

Continuing the Journey

Please also remember Annette and me as we continue to seek God’s guidance for the road ahead. We’re trusting that the next steps will become clear in His timing.

A Thoughtful Christmas Gift

And while we’re talking about meaningful things… if you’re looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift, please consider I HEARD THEIR CRY. It’s a powerful read that speaks to the heart of what Arise is all about - compassion, courage, and listening to the voices that often go unheard.
