The Nations Day :: July 21

We are committed to bring healing to the wounded here in the US and beyond. If you believe in reaching and healing the nations by helping the orphan, the widow, and the alien please help us. We are launching a work of Orphanage in Ethiopia and many services to the poor here in the US. Be part of the healing.

Thanks

Our Vision

Redemption

We serve immigrants and refugees coming to America for a chance to start their lives anew. We have an opportunity to show them the person and true meaning of Christ. Our counseling program points to Christ for healing and seeing life as worth living. Reconciliation The work of reconciliation lets us clearly see God’s kingdom in the present. The American church is often unaware of the coupled beauty and pain in the experience of “new Americans.” The immigrant community brings a fresh perspective in worship and Scripture study. Rise Together seeks to advance God’s vision of uniting nations and cultures for the mutual benefit of the world church. Restoration Many immigrants lose their sense of identity as well as their possessions when they flee their country in the midst of war, racial oppression or religious persecution. We meet their immediate needs by providing furniture to their empty apartments and teaching them how to be creative, to provide for themselves. We want to restore them to the glory of being God’s image-bearers. Our after-school tutoring, community mentoring and skill development programs help many of the immigrants to recognize their importance in this new community.

A Gateway City

Saint Louis is a city of broad diversity. The many languages spoken in South St. Louis and the booming ethnic restaurant industry are signs of the blessings newcomers bring. Each year, the city welcomes close to 4000 new immigrant, refugee, and transient residents. St Louis is second in the nation in the ratio of foreign born to native born citizens. In the midst of such extraordinary diversity, many local churches are neither aware of nor prepared to meet this people’s unique range of needs. The joyful calling of the body of Christ is to unite across national borders and personal tension. Rise Together Ministries seeks to enable our appendage of the body of Christ to join with the new members that have come into our midst. Through an array of programs, this group bridges the difficult gaps that refugees face in order to acclimate to American life. Since its founding in 2006 by Worku Geremew, an Ethiopian immigrant, Rise Together Ministries has been working steadily to improve the lives of our new neighbors.
