manifesto

—  We Believe  —

that LISTENING is a gift of patient presence, inviting another to be fully known.

that BEAUTY is often discovered in the wonder of joy mixed with sorrow.

that BELONGING can cultivate the belief that we are BELOVED.

in PRAYER, that honest conversation with God aligns the human heart with His tender care.

that LAMENT unlocks the door of hope.

in PILGRIMAGE, that journeying with a hurting heart heals.

—  Our Mission  —

Awakening Hope’s mission is to provide soul care for people with disability in their story.

Just like weary travelers need physical hospitality, weary hearts need soul hospitality. Awakening Hope provides soul care by creating safe spaces for people with disability in their story to be honest with God. In that honesty, we invite them to discover beauty, experience belonging, and touch the reality that they are the beloved of Christ. Awakening Hope offers soul care in the form of resources that support and encourage, caregiver connections that cultivate community, and respite retreats that include guided facilitation around topics like lament, prayer, and hope.
