AA January Newsletter – 2026

We hope you are all staying warm during this chilly winter season!

Many have asked, “What is the purpose of Arise America?” As clearly stated on our website, we believe God has called us to equip those who carry a desire to see their communities transformed through the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

As we step into 2026, we have some exciting news to share.

We are thrilled to announce that Arise America is partnering with several organizations to produce high-quality training designed to equip believers to make a powerful Kingdom impact in their communities.

Currently, we are partnering with Amerion College to design and deliver our courses. In addition, we are working alongside ICAL (International Coalition of Apostles), FMCI (Federation of Ministries & Churches International), and members of our own Arise America team to develop the course content.

Once this first course is completed, we plan to move forward with three additional courses. Below is a brief overview of these courses and the inspiration that launched this journey.

During a recent conference, Dutch Sheets shared a message emphasizing the critical role of discipleship in this next move of God. His words deeply stirred my heart. Around that same time, I recall a prophetic voice declaring, “It’s time to write the courses.” I sensed this as a clear confirmation—highlighting the central role discipleship plays in advancing the Kingdom of God.

Because discipleship has been a major focus of Arise America for several years, we felt prompted to develop a structured curriculum centered on four key areas:

1. Training pastors and ministry leaders who are called to the work of community transformation

2. Equipping pastors to disciple their congregations and cultivate a Kingdom-centered mindset

3. Creating systematic discipleship resources for those called to influence the seven mountains of culture

4. Developing a framework for intercessors who are called to the ministry of prayer and spiritual warfare

If you would like to partner with us in what God is doing through this ministry, we invite you to prayerfully consider supporting this initiative financially. We have been advised that completing these courses will require several thousand dollars, and we are trusting the King of Kings to provide every resource needed.

We believe God is raising up a new generation of Kingdom adventurers—and they must be equipped to walk in wisdom, authority, and faith.

Thank you for your continued generosity, encouragement, and—most importantly—your prayers. We could not do this without you.

With gratitude and expectation,
Michael J. Greider
