111 Project

The mission of the 111 Project is for every church to commit one family to one purpose of leaving no child without a family.  At Rising Church, we are focused on increasing the number of quality foster families and decreasing the number of foster children without homes. To do this we are committed to raising up and supporting a foster care family at Rising Church by providing meals, meeting special needs, providing childcare, and prayer.

Partners in India

The Path Project

The Path Project partners with families, schools, churches and businesses to help children and teenagers in at-risk communities close the achievement gap and find the right path for their lives – spiritually, academically, and socially. Our hope is that every child who is part of The Path Project will: know and follow God’s plan for their life (spiritual), graduate from high school with a plan for their future (academic) and become productive members of society who give back to their community (social).  To accomplish our mission the Path Project operates community centers where we offer programs such as after-school homework help, literacy-rich opportunities, mentoring, and soccer (with our FCA Soccer partnership).

This mission encounter is designed to educate and inform participants on who, what, and the how of sex trafficking in Atlanta. Participants will learn how they can get involved with helping in the reach, rescue & restore process through the ministry of Out of Darkness. We will serve and eat meals with the ladies at the safe houses and plan and participate in an art therapy project with the ladies. We will serve in adopting a room at the new safe house to paint, decorate, and set up. We will be trained and go on a Princess Night outreach to an area of street prostitution in Atlanta.

Peru – Level 3 & 4

Getting to go to a country in South America is an opportunity that very few people get in their lifetimes. It will be a great experience as we serve the people of Peru and show the light of Jesus to people who are in need.

YL | Haiti

Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Close to half the population, under the age of 20. This is the landscape that Young Life leaders enter. YL Haiti invites you to “come and see” what God is doing in their country…to see firsthand the work, to encourage the staff and leaders, to know how to pray for the ministry, and to be able to tell others stories of the impact our Rising Mission Partner is making in Haiti.
