Most women join a Moms In Touch group for their child's school because a friend invited them to come. What they experience during the MITI hour of prayer each week is life-changing. We hear over and over again about moms who come to MITI with overwhelming burdens and leave with a God-given peace. Moms grow nearer to God as they get to know His wonderful attributes during the Praise time each week. Not to mention, they experience how graciously God answers prayer for their children and schools.

We wondered, how much you know about the ministry of MITI beyond the walls of the living room or kitchen where you meet for weekly prayer. This month we are sharing points of interest that may surprise you about the ministry of Moms In Touch International.

MITI groups meet in women's prisons in 20 states? "God is bringing hope to women who are painfully separated from their children," reports Valerie Eaton, MITI Prison Ministry Facilitator for seven years. "Through prayer, He brings healing to women who have lost hope. One inmate had not heard from her children in many years. As she began praying in MITI, God softened her heart. She confessed to her daughter-in-law the anger and dislike she had harbored; the inmate further shared that God wanted her to bless her daughter-in-law and pray Scripture for her children. Her daughter-in-law responded with a card and pictures of the grandbabies, and this inmate is now reconnected with her family. I have the awesome privilege of seeing God's miracles happen!

"I often receive requests from inmates who have heard about MITI and want a group for their prison. Some women have been transferred and have taken MITI to the new prison. One prison chaplain requested we start a group at her prison because of the positive changes in behavior she had seen in MITI moms. Inmates are also getting involved in groups upon release, and receive focus, purpose and support that is helping them stay straight."  More

MITI groups meet to pray for home schoolers? Moms who have taken on the responsibility of teaching their children at home are finding that praying in a Moms In Touch group is doubly rewarding. They are praying for their children, but also for themselves as the teachers-and maybe for dads as principals. Home schooling moms/teachers have special challenges. Just finding a convenient time to meet is difficult for moms who have children at home all day. More

MITI working moms make it happen? Mothers working full time outside their homes have a great burden to gather and pray for their children, but time constraints make it difficult. Moms In Touch International provides a helpful format that can be adapted by working moms representing various schools who wish to get together during lunchtime, evenings or weekends to pray for their children and the schools they attend.

MITI groups meet for special needs children? A mom who has a child with special needs can feel isolated, and prayer partners are the greatest support she can have-other moms willing to pray for and love her special child, other moms with the strength to faithfully lift her child up in prayer even when her own faith is weak.

MITI groups for Grandmas exist? How special it is when a grandmother intercedes for a child. What a powerful way to be a part of her grandchild's life. A grandmother may pray with an existing MITI group for the school her grandchild attends, or she may choose to form a separate group just for grandmothers. A Grandmothers In Touch group offers comfort and encouragement to those not living close to their grandchildren. More

MITI groups meet in over 120 countries? God is exploding the international ministry of Moms In Touch. In 2006 alone, fifty-seven MITI women traveled beyond America's borders to over fifty-seven countries sharing the MITI ministry with nationals in their native language. The simplicity of the four-steps of prayer format can be easily taught and translated, and God is working in the lives of mothers, children and schools-more than we will ever know this side of heaven.
