The Prayer Mountain

Where it all begins.

Before decisions are made, before the day gets underway, before the children rise for breakfast — there is prayer. Kakembo climbs the hill nearby to seek God's direction, and from that quiet place, the rhythm of the home flows.

What is required of care-givers at Blessed Hope? Love, time, hard work, vision, faith, and emotional resilience. And none of it is possible without the steady, unseen work of prayer.
