Ministry of Presence — Empowering Communities Through Compassion
We believe transformation begins with presence. There are moments when people need a hand up, not a hand down - someone willing to stand with them in seasons of vulnerability. Through Arise One80, we focus on the following expressions of compassion:
Newcomers Initiative
The Newcomers Initiative supports refugees and asylum seekers as they rebuild their lives with safety and stability.
We provide financial assistance for qualified legal representation and essential living expenses during times of transition.
Our goal is simple: helping families move from uncertainty to stability with dignity and hope.
Youth Intervention
The Youth Intervention program is part of Arise One80, serving minority urban youth facing social and economic challenges.
We provide financial assistance to help meet educational and vocational needs, including school supplies, laptops, and support for vocational training.
Our goal is to help young people move from vulnerability toward stability, opportunity, and long-term independence.
Women Involvement
The Women Involvement program is part of Arise One80, empowering vulnerable communities by supporting abused and vulnerable women.
We provide financial assistance and practical support for urgent needs such as groceries, rent, vehicle repairs, safety, stabilization, and essential services during times of crisis.
Our goal is to help women move from crisis to stability with dignity and renewed hope.
Retired Pastors Independence
The Retired Pastors Independence program is part of Arise One80, honoring elderly pastors who lack stable housing after years of faithful ministry.
We provide housing support and financial assistance to help retired pastors secure safe and dignified living arrangements.
Our goal is to ensure they experience stability, respect, and peace in this season of life.
