Arise Together saved my life! I met Cindy in 2017 and got connected to Arise Together. I

had experienced addiction, incarceration and was grieving the death of my daughter

from an overdose. My life felt like it was out of control, but God kept drawing my heart.

The women of the ministry of Arise Together have loved me, encouraged me, supported

me and I believe, saved my life. This ministry has helped me stay focused and moving

forward through ups and downs. On the journey God has restored my soul and family

by blessing me with the privilege of raising my granddaughter. I now have the

opportunity as part of the Arise Together leadership team to give back to other women

who need support.

Cheryl Forsythe

Hello to Gods precious ladies. Hi my name is Cheryl.  I am an encourager and on the

leadership team for Arise Together. I would describe myself as a little shy, quiet and not

real social. I believe that I was born with a mother’s heart.  That seemed to be who I

was at a very young age. I will testify that being a part of arise together has brought out

the best in me. Today I know more about who I am and Gods purpose for my life. Arise

Together is a place that gives hope, love, peace, joy contentment and beautiful

friendships. I love Arise Together with a mother’s love. I encourage you to come join us

and experience all this for yourself. Please come!!!

Mary Dillon

Hi, my name is Mary Dillion with Arise Together. I am an Encourager, group leader and

part of the leadership team.  My best friend as I grew up was God. We moved every 3

years. I was molested as a child, date raped at 18. Married an alcoholic at 20, married

into domestic violence at 30, gave my life completely over to God at 48. I had 2

daughters (one passed in 2021 of cancer), 9 grandchildren, 1 great. I love huskies,

gardening, and helping people.  Have 2 brothers and 2 sisters

I have a passion to support and encourage women to not walk alone.  No one should

think they are too bad, too low or too anything not to join us.  Give us the time to know

you and let us pour our love of the Lord into your life.

Cricket Henry

Hello Family! My name is Cricket, and I am a grateful believer in our Lord Jesus Christ

and a witness to His grace and mercy. I had been a drug user since the age of 15 and

dealt with all the consequences that lifestyle entails, until my deliverance through my

relationship with Jesus Christ. By the grace of God, I have been clean and sober now

over 8 years. I recently found Arise Together and knew it was a place that welcomed the

broken and lost. The empowering embrace of a group of women who knows how it feels

to need and want something more in our lives is just what you’ll find in the Arise

Together support groups. God led me to the women I now call sisters and friends. I pray

you comes join us and see for yourselves what God can do with broken lives. God

Bless you!
