Rise 26 registration now open
Rise 26 consultation will be in Cairo from November 9-13, 2026.
This is an invitation-only gathering - please look out for your email inviting you to
register.
If you would like to participate in rise 26 but you are not on our invitation list, please

friend/colleague.
Rise 26 will be on the theme of leading and learning well in wilderness spaces.
Those spaces may be linked to social change, political crises or church; or at a
personal level - family responsibilities or new opportunities in our life.
How are women called to lead with hope, persistence and flexibility?
This consultation will bring together 70-80 women who lead in various cross-cultural
spheres and have a heart for global mission.
Rise in Strength is a community of women who are leaders across cultures and nations.
With this global perspective we want to celebrate the gifting, vital contribution, and leadership of Christian women around the world.
Rise in Strength began in 2019 when sixty women from 18 nations came together in Amsterdam for a three-day consultation. Out of that gathering came the Call to All Christians, a prophetic message to endorse and encourage women and girls to rise in strength so that all men and women, boys and girls, flourish. Link to the 2019 Call video (the one with the woman with a scarf).
Rise in Strength celebrates the gifting, service and leadership of women in the Church across the globe. We mourn the injustices women continue to suffer and call on Christians to take steps to honor women’s leadership in family, church and community to increase the effective witness of the Gospel. READ The Call to all Christians (available in 10 languages).
RISE seeks to support women of all ages who are called to lead in international contexts in church, charities, business, professions, media, and theology.
We have had two in-person gatherings – in June 2019 and March 2024, and an online consultation in 2021.The next consultation takes place in Cairo in November 2026.
Rise wants to be strategic in assessing the state of the world’s women, prayerful in response, and active in supporting women who are bringing change.
PRAY each month with women across the world.
Rise is an initiative of the World Evangelical Alliance and the Lausanne Movement.It is planned and organized by a small team of volunteers.
