Mom's In Touch International

While Tony was stationed at Fort Gordon Army Base in Augusta, Georgia we lived in Evans.  Candace and Meagan attended Evans Elementary School about one mile from our house.  Byron was still at home though sometimes he attended a half-day Mom's Day Out program. One day we received a flyer with an invitation to attend a Mom's In Touch meeting to learn more about the ministry.  I attended the meeting and became a member of the MIT group that prayed for Evans Elementary School.  We met at the home of one mom weekly for one hour and prayed for the school administrators, teachers, other staff, bus drivers, and our children.  We had a format and scriptures to guide us and our time was specifically spend praying.  Now MIT includes groups of moms and even grandmothers around the world, praying for their children/grandchildren in public, private and homeschools.  I want to encourage all of us moms to pray as MIT encourages us to do.  There isn't a MIT group on St. Helena or Lady's Island but there can be.  Meanwhile, check out the MIT website and learn more about the ministry, its purpose, mission statement and see the guidelines to help you know how to pray for your child/children this school.  

About Us

Are you a mom who deeply loves her children and longs for them to grow up to be loving, confident and successful? Do you fear that influences outside your control will steal their hearts? You are not alone … and you’ve come to the right site. 
Fern Nichols is a mom just like you. When her sons entered junior high, she had the same apprehensions. But overriding those fears was a deep trust that God, and only God, could protect and keep her children. Only God could change the lives of friends and coaches and teachers. She knew that if moms gathered together to cry out to God for the needs and concerns of children and schools, that He would not only hear those prayers, but answer them.

Fern called like-minded moms who gathered each week to pray for their children and school, and thus began the first Moms In Touch group, now called Moms in Prayer. What started so simply in 1984 has grown into a worldwide community of praying moms in every state and in more than 140 countries around the world.
 
We invite you to browse our site, learn more about us, and discover the most important gift you can give your children: your prayers.
