Please pray for the forthcoming children’s work that Arise will be doing; may this really be a time when the children come to know Christ.
Thank God for those people who are actively seeking to stop the decline and reach more children for Him.
Please pray that we may be aware of all the opportunities that God is providing for us to share the gospel message; may we be equipped in His power to use them effectively!
please pray for
God is certainly at work and stirring up people’s hearts to stop talking and start doing something about the decline in children hearing about Him. As can be seen these are certainly exciting times as we, Girls’ Brigade and Viz-A-Viz Ministries, through Arise, work together in ‘Equipping the Church to Reach a Generation’
For more information on any of the above please visit our new website:

Every local church is surrounded by communities of children . . .
Many of whom may never hear the message about Jesus . . .!
What a challenge!!
Every community of children has a church within their surroundings . . .
These are the people with that message to share . . .!
What an opportunity!!

ALF naturally links into the SPES files – ideal for ‘badgework’, but could also be used for;
Company devotions
Residential events
ALF Celebrations / Church Parades
A Bible Club for your company and their non-GB friends
Or for pioneering a completely new outreach with GB eg in a school.

SUPPORT – The ‘Arise Network’ has been set up for GB companies, churches and outreach groups to join so that people can share and receive different ideas and experiences to help them in their outreach. By joining your company into the network you’ll keep on receiving updates, ideas, new resources, personal support and advice – plus, you’ll also get money off resources/training/events provided by Arise.
Also by being in this network you will be helping this pioneering ministry to grow and . . . more children will be reached!
Normally annual network membership is £50, but as a special offer for GB companies in ‘07/’08, you are invited to join for just £25 (half-price!!)

EQUIPPING – Arise offers a wide menu of training, including that in the areas of evangelism and discipleship amongst children. This can be tailored according to need, experiences and people’s availability. Why not host a training event for all the children’s workers in your church – GB, Sunday School, Midweek Clubs etc; it’s a great way to support each other and work together!
