About us

RISE AND SHINE WORLD is an international religious organization. It is made up of people from different countries where all the members are from different races, different churches, and different languages.

RISE AND SHINE WORLD was started in November 2020 by Bishop Justin Alain and his wife Mrs. Bishop Marlene after they received a vision in 2012. They are already leading the REHOBOTH DIVINE HEALING church.

In that vision, God showed him FIVE STARS IN ONE STAR, which immediately produced three things:

  • Peace and love
  • Unity and reconciliation
  • Revival and salvation

All these three things will spread worldwide through the Holy Spirit.

RISE AND SHINE WORLD is headquartered in Australia, but also operates in various other countries with the mission to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and help people transform their lives through acts of love and charity.

Our mission is to preach the gospel and teach the Word of God to both believers and non-believers, helping them become the body of Christ through various activities. We bring together people from all walks of life and show them how to thrive in profitable and income-generating activities.

RISE AND SHINE WORLD works with other churches and organizations to expand the Kingdom of God. This is a time for people to wake up and shine because their light is coming.

We hold online meetings in different languages, including Kinyarwanda, English, and French, and have members in Australia, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada, the United States, India, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Mozambique, Poland, and Norway.

Future Plans:

  • Expanding into all countries worldwide
  • Organizing international conferences to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ
  • Helping those under Satan's control to escape darkness and enter the light of Jesus Christ
  • Empowering people to discover and use their God-given talents to serve Him
  • Encouraging business as mission, showing that believers can honor God in all professions

To fulfill its vision, RISE AND SHINE WORLD has created various ministries, each responsible for different tasks, but all working towards expanding the Kingdom of God.

RISE AND SHINE WORLD is an international ministry committed to the essential truths of biblical Christianity. Our board, staff, missionaries, members, and volunteers profess this statement of faith:

GOD

There is one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the almighty Creator, Saviour, and Judge who governs all things according to His sovereign will and is accomplishing His purposes in creation and in the Church to His glory.

THE FATHER

God the Father is the source of all that is good. He initiates creation and redemption which He accomplishes through His Son and the Holy Spirit.

GOD'S WRITTEN WORD

The Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is God's written Word, revealing for all peoples His character and purposes. It is the final authority in all matters relating to belief and behaviour. The Holy Spirit moved the human authors of the Bible so that what they wrote is inspired, fully reliable, and without error in all it affirms.

HUMAN RACE

Humanity is the climax of God's earthly creation, bearing His image, designed for relationship with Him, and is the object of His redeeming love. All people have sinned. This results in guilt, death, and alienation from God as well as the defacing of every aspect of human nature. People are unable to save themselves from sin's penalty and power and from Satan's dominion.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ, both fully God and fully man, entered history as Saviour of the world. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived an exemplary, sinless life in perfect submission to the Father and in loving relationships with others. He died on a cross, rose bodily, and ascended to heaven where He is advocate for His people and is exalted as Lord of all.

SALVATION

Christ's sacrificial death, in which He bore the punishment due to sinners, is the only and all-sufficient basis of God's provision of salvation for all people of every culture and age, expressing His love and satisfying His justice. By God's grace, the repentant sinner, through trusting alone in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, is put right with God and adopted by the Father into His family and receives eternal life.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit makes the work of Christ effective to sinners, giving spiritual life and placing them into the Church. He indwells all believers, empowers them to love, serve, witness and obey God, equips them with gifts, and transforms them to be increasingly like Christ.

THE CHURCH

The universal Church is made up of all who have been born of the Spirit. It finds local expression in communities of believers called by God to worship, fellowship, proclaim the Gospel, and make disciples among all peoples, reflect God's character, engage in works of compassion, contend for truth and justice, and celebrate baptism and communion.

THE SPIRIT WORLD

The holy angels are personal spirit beings who glorify God, serve Him, and minister to His people. Satan is a spiritual being who was created by God but fell through sin. He along with other evil spirits are the enemy of God and humanity, has been defeated by the work of Christ, are subject to God's authority and face eternal condemnation.

THE FUTURE

The Lord Jesus Christ will visibly return to the earth in glory and accomplish the final triumph over evil. God will make everything new. The dead will be raised and judged. Unbelievers will suffer eternal punishment in separation from God; believers will enter into a life of eternal joy in fellowship with God, glorifying Him forever.

Our Statement of Beliefs

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
  • We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
  • We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
  • We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
  • We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.
  • We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the ‘breaking of bread’.
  • We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
  • We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.
  • We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
