A New Year,
A Renewed Commitment to Pray

     It’s January. The holidays are over. Students are returning to school. Routines are back to normal. The Christmas decorations are boxed up (or, at least, are waiting to be boxed up).
     Our attention now turns to the new year ahead. A new year filled with hope and promise and joy. A new opportunity to set goals and renew commitments.
     What prayer goals are you making this year?
     Thousands and thousands of women attended Arise! Cry Out! last November, pouring out their hearts to God for the lives of their children and schools. Would you like to continue that passion
to pray?
     Our e-News theme for 2010 is “Continue to Arise and Cry Out!”
     Crying out to the Lord on behalf of our children doesn’t need to end because the November 14, 2009, date is now past. Every week, women around the world are gathering together, praying in Moms In Touch groups for children, of all ages and stages, as well as for
their schools.
     Are you committing to start, join or regularly attend a MITI group?

  1. We had our first meeting of 2010 this past Monday morning. There were 5 of us in attendance. We praised the Lord for being a Miracle Worker!

    We were in agreement that 2010 would be a year of women rising in spiritual leadership. With so many job layoffs last year and financial hardships, we realized that the men in our lives may be struggling with low morale.

    Also, in the schools there is a new mindset at work. People are boldly declaring their atheism and other religious beliefs and directly assaulting the Christian beliefs.

    We prayed for the women to stand up and courageously declare our belief in the Lord - to be prepared to be defensive and not offensive - in the armor of God. We prayed that our children will be salt and light in the schools.

    Through prayer, the Lord will do great things in our midst in 2010!

  2. Normally four moms come to pray at my church-based group, but last week nine moms came in with a renewed commitment to pray for their kids and schools. Very exciting!
