✦ALTARAH™✦ Handcrafted Heirloom Prayer Altars

God got her attention — not once, but twice.

Until she rested her head on her father’s shoeshine box, and He spoke.

Alexis Rodriguez, founder of Altarah, with the handcrafted prayer altar. How Altarah Was Founded

It began in a closet.

Our founder, Alexis Rodriguez, spent years rebuilding her life on her knees in the small private space of her own home. There, the Lord led her to an unlikely object — her late father’s wooden shoeshine box.

Twice the closet racks came down. Twice the shoebox fell to the same spot. The second time, she pulled it close, rested her head on its foot plate, and asked what God was revealing. He answered.

“Through your father’s shoebox you will find Me. Go, My children, and build altars.”

The Lord led her to her assignment.

Altarah joins the word altar with the Hebrew feminine ending “ah” — the ending carried by the women of scripture: Deborah, Hannah, Sarah, Rebekah. It is a name for the altar, and for the women who kneel at it.

Two young girls kneeling side by side, heads bowed on the Altarah altar in worship, in soft daylight.

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”

Proverbs 22:6

The Inaugural Edition
The first 100 altars

Every Altarah altar is prayed over and anointed with oil before it ships — always. But the very first run carries something that will never be offered again: the first 100 altars are a Special Edition, each bearing the golden Altarah seal. Once these 100 are gone, the seal is retired for good.

They are the founding altars — carrying the prayer of the woman who built them into the homes of the women who receive them.

Special Edition

The first 100 altars only, each marked with the golden Altarah seal. Never offered again.

Consecrated

Each altar covered in prayer and anointing oil before shipping.

Altars for the Modern Deborahs

This is how generational chains break.

We were never meant to carry what we’ve been carrying. The altar is where we surrender it — where we heal, where we war, and where we teach our daughters to lay it down at the feet of Jesus.

i.

Surrender

Cast on Him what was never ours to hold. This is how we heal, process, and build the capacity to carry what He actually calls us to.

“Cast all your anxiety on him.” — 1 Peter 5:7
ii.

Stand in the gap

To war at the altar is to stand between heaven and earth for your lineage — the chain breaker, so the next generation is born free.

“…stand before me in the gap.” — Ezekiel 22:30
iii.

Wake and rise

It takes wisdom to heal, wisdom to break a pattern. The call is the same one sung over Deborah: wake, daughters, and rise.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come.” — Isaiah 60:1

This altar is for the women who will wake, rise, and war — not for themselves alone, but for every generation that comes after them.

Testimonies

Stories from the secret place.

It begins in our own homes.

The founder's daughter kneeling with her head bowed on the altar in prayer.
“

This altar is transforming my own home. My daughter and my nine-year-old son go into the secret place, rest their heads on the altar, and pray — learning to lay it down, learning to build an intimate relationship with God. This is the call. This is the movement: rise up, daughters.
