---

Join us for Release the Roar, RISES' 6th annual conference, as we gather with women from across the UK to encounter God afresh and rise into our calling with boldness.

This year, we are so blessed to welcome Rachel Hughes, from The Orchard/Gas Street Church, Birmingham, as our guest speaker. Rachel will be leading us through the powerful truths of Isaiah 61—a passage that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, inspires us to Rise, Rebuild and Restore, and we will be unpacking how YOU are a significant part of this powerful mission!

Come ready to be inspired, equipped, and unleashed to live with purpose and passion. It’s time to release the roar within you and let the world hear your voice.

TICKETS:

Early Bird | closed Saturday, 28 February | £25

Full Price | closes Wednesday, 13 May | £30

Students & Youth | £20.00 (These tickets are for people in full time education)

Rachel Hughes

Rachel is the Senior Pastor of Gas Street Church in Birmingham, alongside her husband Tim. She is a passionate preacher and loves communicating the liberating power of God’s truth. Rachel has recently pioneered a national ministry (alongside her sister) called ‘The Orchard’ to encourage and empower women. She is also a keen advocate for fostering and adoption. Rachel has a background in television & media and worked for the BBC in London before joining the staff at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) where she lead the Creativity & Arts Department. Rachel & Tim have five wonderful children Phoebe, Simeon, Lois, Judah & Summer.

Jo Lee

Jo once believed she was insignificant and without a voice, until God transformed her thinking. Now, she carries a deep heart and passionate desire to see women rise up and step into all that Father God has created them to be and do. It excites her—truly makes her heart sing—to see women embrace the truth of who they are, because when they do, they change the world.

Grace Wheeler

Grace is a mum, speaker, evangelist and founder of HEYjoy. HEYjoy exists to introduce the next generation to Jesus and help them live wholeheartedly for Him. She has an infectious passion for Jesus and is a dynamic communicator. Grace has spent the past decade sharing her faith across the UK. Her heart is to see the next generation discover Jesus and live wholeheartedly for Him. Grace lives in the Midlands with her husband Nathan and their two children.

Aminah Boot

Hello, I'm Aminah! I'm blessed to be married to my wonderful husband, Greg, for over 25 incredible years, and we're proud parents to three amazing boys. Born in Kenya, East Africa, into a Muslim family, my life took a dramatic turn at 12 when I encountered Jesus. His love captivated me, and I fell deeply in love with Him. Discovering the Father's love as the King's daughter transformed my life forever.

I'm passionate about harnessing the power of prayer and encouraging others to do the same, believing God will do remarkable things in every area of life.

Katrina Moss

Katrina is a Lymington-based artist and passionate champion of creativity, who believes the arts are a powerful way God communicates His heart and the mysteries of life. Through her semi-abstract paintings she explores “thin places,” where the sacred and the everyday meet and whispers of the divine break through. She loves encouraging others to step into all God has for them and founded the CHAIYA Art Awards, the UK’s largest biennial art prize exploring spirituality through the visual arts.
