Founded in 2018 by Rachel Libby and Lisa DaSilva, Arise Ministries Collective was birthed from a deep desire to see woman equipped in the Word so that they are compelled to live in radical ways for Christ’s glory.
We believe that when women have an authentic and growing relationship with Jesus Christ, truly know God’s Word, and are dependent on the Holy Spirit, they become powerful and influential vessels for the Kingdom.

My husband Matt & I head up a family of 5 wonderful kids. Our family is uniquely made through biological kids, as well as international and foster-adoption. I’m easy-going, love to create, travel, read a good book, and am probably over caffeinated because I live on coffee.
I am passionate about discovering and living in my God given purpose & calling through the Word, and encouraging others to do the same.
