When a mom prays, God prepares the soil for encounters like this. Moms In Touch groups can also support the students by praying across the street, or by helping your children plan how to lead the prayer time at their elementary or secondary schools.

Expect Challenge ...                         
                                       Expect Change! 

A new school year brings new challenges to students - and to parents. A kindergartner must learn to tie his shoes. A middle school student struggles with preteen pressures.
A high school senior faces a world of choices and decisions for the future. What they all
likely have in common is a mother who is just as uncertain and concerned as they are. 

For twenty-two years and counting, while students head back to the classroom, mothers return to Moms In Touch groups to pray for their children, teachers and schools. In these days of violence and disorder on many American school campuses, more and more mothers feel a sense of urgency to join with others and cry out to God for His protection and guidance for their children. We receive letters every week from women who began attending MITI prayer groups because of deep concern for the wellbeing of their children, and every week we hear remarkable testimonies as God responds to their prayers. read more>

This is such a story.  April was a student at a high school in San Diego, who participated in See You at the Pole (SYATP).

I assumed she was a teacher.   She asked me, "That was you who read this morning, wasn't it?"   At this point, I was sure I was about to get expelled, as she said it rather sharply. I replied, "Yes, that was me."   She began asking me various questions. I answered, though I felt like she was gathering evidence against me; as if I had done something wrong.  read more>
