2010 VISION

As a new year is set to begin, we search for Gods Will in everything we do! Uprising Ministries has been given some amazing opportunities to advance the Body of Christ. We pray everyday that God has complete control of our every activity and that He will receive glory in our efforts. The vision that God has placed on our hearts is a grand challenge, but at the same time a mighty honor. We will press on in our quest to unify anyone who loves Jesus, thru FAITH IN ACTION. Here are just a few of the things that will be happening in the upcoming year!

1. Rock-the-Block
This is a program Uprising Ministries will be starting as a way of allowing people to get involved in their city by cleaning, serving, mentoring, praying, and giving. You and your group will be able to take one city block under your wing. You will be able to make a huge impact on so many people by showing them the love of Jesus! We will also have an option of adopting a local ministry that is currently active in our city. We will be getting wish lists from the different leaders and you will be able to make their wishes come true. We are so excited about what will happen when you begin to put your faith in action!!

2. Highland Kids at the Dream Center
Uprising Ministries has partnered with the Birmingham Dream Center to assist in putting on an inner city children’s service. We go into the local housing projects and spread the word by handing out fliers and candy. We also provide rides to any kids who’s parents are unable to get them to the Dream Center. This is an every saturday event from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. After the kids service we take several of the children to the near by recreation center and play games like kickball, football, frisbee, makeup for girls, and many other activities. This ends at 3 p.m. The impact that this is having on the kids of this area is AMAZING!! Please join us every saturday!!

3. Whatley School
This is an inner city school that has allowed Uprising Ministries the chance to come in and do all that we can to improve the leaning environment for the students and teachers. 97% of the students in Whatley are on the free lunch program. Uprising Ministries will be providing mentoring for students, boys and girls. We will have a once month honor roll and most improved students party, to honor those that are making the most effort. We will do LIFE group for the teachers. Ballet and Cheerleading classes will be run by some of our ladies. In the spring will have a field day for all the students. Tutoring and teacher assistance will also be available. There will be many, many, many more things that will be happening in this school, and we would love for you to get involved. If God has laid a vision on your heart, please share and we will do all that we can to provide for you the way to make it happen.

4. Local Church Partnerships for Event Planning
Uprising Ministries will be partnering with several local churches to help plan events for them to get their members involved. These will be very well thought out and developed plans so we can have the most Kingdom impact while at the same time encouraging people to put their faith in motion. Please join us to assist in planning these events, and by encouraging your church or organization to get involved.
