ATTENTION! THIS WEBSITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
We are currently in the middle of a ministry transition.
We are no longer raising support as intercessory missionaries with TRIHOP. Matthew is transitioning into the position of lead pastor and teaching pastor at our church Hosanna Fellowship.
Some of the information on this site may now be outdated or incorrect. We will be working during the month of January 2022 to update this website.
We are continuing the ministry of INCENSE ARISE. This includes our monthly Lampstand meeting, and encouraging others in lifestyles of prayer and worship, "getting oil" for their lamps, etc. We are working on refining that mission and vision. We will be sharing more about that in our upcoming January newsletter and getting it on this website.
Although Matthew will now be receiving a salary as a pastor at our church, and we will NOT be raising support as intercessory missionaries, some of you have asked how you can continue to give to our ministry of Incense Arise. We are working on that! You will be able to give through Hosanna Fellowship soon, but we do not have all of the details set up for that yet.
Thank you for your patience as we transition and make changes. Please look for updates, and THANK YOU to all who have partnered with us!

Welcome to the home page for the Wine Family!
We have called our website “Incense Arise” based on Malachi 1:11: In every place let incense be offered to my name and a pure offering.
We have been so impacted by the truth of how worthy God is of a never-ending offering of praise, worship, and prayer. He is truly the Worthy One. If we will take time to study His nature, His character, His faithfulness, His Word, then this knowledge that we uncover about Him demands a response. For some, the response is to reject Him, but if we really do see Him as He is, the only logical response is WORSHIP, PRAISE, ADORATION. All of these things are summed up as “incense” in the Scriptures.
The Scripture repeatedly talks about “incense” rising as a picture of the prayers of God’s people going up before Him.
We feel such a burden that God’s people would begin to let that incense rise. That our prayers would be coming before the Lord non-stop, like a sweet-smelling fragrance.
All of the ministry we do flows out of that idea. He is worthy and we want to exalt Jesus, and cause praise and prayer to rise up before Him.
