Hannah's Hope was conceived out of our own felt need for spiritual support, strategic prayer and community when our family walked out our personal adoption story in many different ways. Based on the Old Testament example of Hannah who so longed for a child that she went alone to the temple to "pour out her heart" to God about her desire for children. 1 Samuel 1:27- "I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted me what I asked of him."

Ignite Hope views prayer as a conversation between God and his Children. The more we pray - the better we are able to ascertain God’s will in our own life. As we intercede for others, we are able to connect deeply in caring for others by praying specifically over God’s children in a deep and impactful way. Praying for foster and adoptive parents and the kids they care for is one of the MOST important ways to help them navigate through life’s challenges. Prayer positions us in the place of victory at all times. Prayer aids discernment. The more we begin to comprehend the Father’s heart toward us, the more we are able to connect his good, and sovereign will for all of us. Jeremiah 29:11 is a wonderful verse to claim over families and children in hard places. God invites us make great things happen through our prayers, because we have been given the authority to do so. Luke 10: 19 "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." 1 John 4:4: "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

It takes a kind and caring heart to bring children who are not biologically yours into your home. The enemy is never happy with obedient people; hence he wages war against them in every way possible. Additionally, is not unusual for children and parents to need a transistion, as all parties involved persevere and adapt to a new normal after placement. Praying specifically for these families is a strategic way of supporting them and letting them know that we care. Adoptive and foster parents face many challenges. The enemys plan is to make families give up on this journey. However, through our prayer teams, advocacy, resources and encouragement, Hannah’s Hope navigates families through the difficult journy inherent in orphan care.

The Hannah's Hope Program works towards ensuring that children in foster care, youth moving out of the foster system and children placed for adoption live their best life, by finding the ability and possibility of achieving their purposes in life. We believe that goal is achieved through clear encouragement, attachment, redirection, value and love found only within a family unit. We aim to see the Modern Orphan transition into a joy-filled, contributing and healthy life; We do this through strategic prayer, being present in the hard, and giving encouragement and resources, we believe that the Modern Orphan and the family unit that loves them can thrive. "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it" (Prov. 22:6). 3 "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth" (Psalm 127:3-4).
