The Birth of I WILL RISE
How it all began
On a Sunday, about a month before Anita Cordell, founder of I Will Rise, was in church on a Sunday morning. The worship team began playing Chris Tomlin's song "I Will Rise'. While the team led in worship, Anita had what many call a 'God Moment'. Her ears could literally only hear the team singing 'I Will Rise.... I Will Rise... I Will Rise", over and over. She opened her eyes and noticed that those around her were singing other words from the song. She asked God what was happening and He spoke to her heart and said, "Name your nonprofit 'I Will Rise' and I will tell you why later." About 2 days before the cameras rolled on a short film about trafficking, God told her why. He said, "There will be 3 groups of people your social issue films will affect. The 1st group are those who have been abused or who are still feeling pain from their victimization. They will see your films and will find hope in them. Their hearts will find courage to declare 'I will rise from this industry or this pain.' The 2nd group of people your films will affect will be the abusers. There will be drug dealers, pimps, johns, etc who see your films and will be convicted. You obey. Let Me do the convicting. When I convict, they will say in their hearts, 'I will rise up out of this industry'. And, the 3rd group of people who your films will affect will be churches, community members and friends. They will hear what you are trying to accomplish through your nonprofit and will say in their hearts, 'I will rise and help her'.
Hence, the birthing of Anita's nonprofit called 'I Will Rise'.
Anita has not only created films that cause change, but she is giving back to the community with her bike campaign. Giving bikes to children and teens for Christmas. Every transaction she does in real estate, she buys a yellow bike and will donate the all at Christmas.
