Lord, may all who love you be like the sun, when it rises in its strength.
This phrase at the end of Deborah’s and Barak’s victory song (Judges 5,31) motivated 60 women leaders from across the globe to gather in June 2019 in Amsterdam/Netherlands and to write together the Call to All Christians, see www.riseinstrength.net/the-call, in 10 languages.
The upcoming RISE in Strength 2021 from 30 October – 1 November 2021 will be a refreshing and continuation. Over 25 women and men from 15 nations will give input from the Bible, new research on the role of women in the Church, and discussion and prayer, which will bring change for women and girls around the world – all based on the paper The Call to all Christians.
