Staff & Board

Sanaa is the founder and executive director of Rise Up Mission. Coming from an international background, she has had the opportunity to live in many countries, including Morocco, France, Canada, and now the United States, which she calls her base and home—though her true home is in heaven. An engineer and a successful business consultant, she founded Rise Up Mission with a deep calling to make an impact in the world. This calling was placed in her heart from an early age, but she couldn’t fully grasp it until God took hold of her during a time of despair when she saw no way out. Jesus not only healed and transformed her but also gave her a purpose—to work for His Kingdom.

Eneida is the Executive Assistant of Rise Up Mission. She has a unique and powerful connection to the communities we serve, particularly the underprivileged and homeless community. Having experienced homelessness and struggled with addiction herself, Eneida’s story is a testimony of the Glory of God. Through His grace, she has been transformed from the inside out, received a new name and a new life. Healed, restored, and renewed, Eneida now serves as not only a living example of God’s redemptive power but also a beacon of hope to those in need, sharing her journey to impact the lives of others.

Frank is an advisor for Rise Up Mission and has played a key role in supporting the launch of the mission. With a successful background in the music industry, he once had the fame, money, and the celebrity that led him down to a destructive path. This spiral ultimately resulted in him losing everything and ending up in prison. But God had a plan for Frank. He encountered God’s grace in prison, was revived, and given a new name. After being released, Frank found himself on the streets, starting over with a renewed heart and mind. His journey from homelessness to recovery led him to help others in similar situations, eventually securing shelter in a small apartment. Later, God called him to launch “United We All Can,” a rehabilitation center and shelter for the homeless in Miami. He is now the founder and executive director of United We All Can, where his heart is to serve and share the message of Jesus with the community in need in Miami, Florida.
