As Christians, the way that our culture seems to revel in Halloween can feel scary.

For some of Jesus' disciples, feasting at the house of a tax collector might have felt scary too.

But Jesus knew that the people there needed him, and when he met them they were transformed.

Could Arise:Hallow help you help lead your neighbours to Jesus this Halloween?

The Arise story so far…

In March 2021, over 1,500 believers from nearly 100 different churches rose up together to pray for Sheffield.

We were emboldened in our faith in a new way. We formed new local relationships, and as a result people around Sheffield encountered Jesus for the first time.

Arisers told us that they felt more purposeful, connected, and energised: their faith was exciting them in a new way.

We know God has not finished fulfilling His purposes in Sheffield, so this year we're continuing to pray to see Sheffield transformed. Let’s prayer-walk together this March!
