Why the Name Rizpah? Rizpah is the name of a biblical character and traumatized mother grieved by an act of vengeance, after her sons were murdered at the hands of enemies sworn, to eradicate their bloodline. Rizpah represents the heart cry of those of us, who carry unresolved grief, and often sit in a place of pain, until God hears and answers.

Rizpah in Greek also means HOPE, and it is from this story of resilience, in the midst of great suffering, that parents of murdered children, can begin to Shift Pain into Purpose, as they advocate on behalf of their murdered sons/daughters, as well as other victims of senseless violence.
