Overview
In Africa
- More than 800 million people go to bed hungry every day
- Nearly 33% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa are underweight
- Every 15 seconds, another child becomes an AIDS orphan
- Every 3 seconds a child dies from AIDS and extreme poverty
- Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region most heavily affected by HIV worldwide,
accounting for 67% of all people living with HIV and for 75% of AIDS deaths in 2007...
The destitution of the disadvantaged in Africa is so immense that it requires the entire Body of Christ to stand up and work as a unit towards the common goal of meeting the various needs.
Arise Ministry Group feels particularly burdened with this task.
Through individual, and collaborative, searching; we (Don, Cheryl and Richard) felt constrained to combine our gifting and establish Arise MG at the beginning of 2009. We recognize that what we are attempting is, indeed, a big faith step. But we are confident in our Lord’s provision and direction for the future. Our desire is simply to be obedient to the call of our master Jesus Christ. To follow in His footsteps. And to be about His business of reconciliation. Simply put, Arise MG strives to be serving Jesus, serving others.
