Firstly, let me introduce myself, my name is Beverley Bedford and leader of ARISE. I have been following the Lord in ministry for over 35 years working in local church and para-church organisations which has propelled me into a broad spectrum of missional leadership.

On the 7th of October 2023, God spoke Isaiah 60 over me; it was the moment the ARISE ministry was birthed. ARISE is a call from God to leaders to live out Isaiah’s prophetic word and be intentional in becoming and releasing transformational leaders into every sphere of society.

‘Arise, shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising.’ - Isaiah 60:1-3

I have been increasingly concerned that emerging leaders seem to lack the essential tools to become transformational in their leadership. ARISE has sprung up out of the desire to encourage, equip and empower leaders to flourish and shine in their unique calling and gifting.

ARISE is committed to bringing an impactful change by offering spiritual formation based on biblical discipleship and mentorship to leaders. God calls leaders 'to arise' - it is time to be transformational in your leadership.
