We want you and the team that you are a part of to experience the entire weekend as a group. Each Rise on the Road trip is designed to have one day built on the day before, so it is expected that you will arrive the evening that the Rise on the Road begins and stay until it is fully completed. Work groups are set at a certain size depending on the work that needs to be done and if someone is missing it makes more work for the others in the group. If you feel you will not be able to fulfill this commitment please notify us as soon as possible.
Call RISE Ministries at 712.324.9763 and we can answer any questions you may have about bringing ROTR to your community.
