A Place Called by God
In 2007, after years of leading prayer meetings and spiritual gatherings, Dr. Kiyaga was drawn by God to dedicate over 50 acres of land in Mpigi as a spiritual home for God-seekers. This land, revealed to him through scripture and prayer from Obadiah 1:17, became Zion Pursuers’ Prayer Mountain a place of deliverance, holiness and spiritual possession of God’s promises.
Today, it stands not merely as a geographic location, but as a sanctuary for transformation. Here, believers from all walks of life individuals, church groups, youth ministries and families come to separate themselves from life’s everyday distractions and focus wholly on seeking God’s face.
A Retreat of Peace and Purpose
From Monday to Sunday, Zion Pursuers’ Prayer Mountain welcomes visitors into an atmosphere of quiet and reflection. Unlike typical urban church settings, the mountain offers a genuine spiritual quietude a stillness that clears the clutter of noise, helping the heart listen more intently to God’s voice. The lush slopes and panoramic views make it ideal for contemplative walks, personal prayer and extended fasting.
