RISE Cafe


Last night was a bit different. We had planned, organised and targeted RISE Cafe for those who don't know Jesus. But, it ended up changing.

To look across a room full of mostly Christians from different churches enjoying the free buns and free coffee was amazing. Maybe God had decided that this wasn't ever meant to be an outreach event, maybe we just did it wrong. Either way we were happy with what had happened that night.

We want to say a big thank you to everybody helped out. From those who baked, to those who gave us the venue, those who cleaned, those who performed, those who sand, those who came, those who gave and those who prayed. Without any of such people RISE Cafe could never have happened.

Maybe we are helping a wee bit to the uniting of Churches. It's far bigger than RISE. Such a feat takes a long time and a lot of work, but if we can help along the process than that's great!
Maybe having young people in the same room from different churches was enough. Maybe sharing coffee and buns was even better, maybe having a team of young people to help out at RISE, which is growing and developing, is another thing to take out of last night.

With this second event, RISE is growing. We look forward to 13th March for the weekend of 24 hour prayer.

Antrim will rise...
