Which MITI group fits you best?

     Do you think your kids are too old, or too young, for you to pray in a Moms In Touch group?
      Then we have a surprise for you!
      Moms In Touch International offers several types of groups: Career, Children with Special Needs, Church-based, College, Homeschool, Grandmothers, Military, Preschool and Prodigal. We now have descriptions of each group online! Check them out at www.MomsInTouch.org. Click on Groups then Group Types.
      We categorize the groups in two different ways: School-Specific and Multiple-School. School-Specific Groups are for moms praying for children from the same campus. Multiple-School Groups are for moms who pray together, though their children might be on different campuses.
      Now for the really great part: You can find each group type through our online
Group Locator. First, go to the district you live in, then find “Multiple-School Group” within the list of schools. You’ll receive an email back specifying the types of Multiple-School Groups offered and who to
contact. Not sure of the school district? We offer a link to help you
find that out.
      If you don’t see the group you’re looking for, why not start your
own! It’s easy! Order your MITI Booklet and Leader’s Guide to get started.

Newsletter hot off the press, but...

     Our fall newsletter is printed and ready to go. However, the postage cost is $10,000. We are praying God will supply the funds so moms like you can read what God is doing around the world when mothers gather to pray. Every gift, large or small, helps. Please pray with us that God will provide for this need.
      If you would like to donate, please click here and you will be linked to our secure, online donation pages. Thank you.
      An exciting money saving change is that we will be posting all our State News on our website, www.MomsInTouch.org. Soon, you’ll be able to go online to read a letter from your local MITI leadership, see your State Team, find out what
events are coming to your area, and read how best to pray for MITI in your region.

See You at the Pole
on September 24

     This year’s See You at the Pole is set for September 24. Moms, start praying that Christian students on your campus will be excited to participate in this annual student-led event where kids rally around the school flag pole to pray for their campus.
     Many MITI groups hold a simultaneous prayer time off-campus while the students pray on-campus.
      Has your group prayed for See You at the Pole in a creative way? We’d love to hear your stories. Email us here.

Are you having a hard time getting the word out about your group? We have a
GET THE WORD OUT page online which shares tips for publicizing your group.
We’ve included updated wording for your church bulletin, a brief press release for
your local newspaper, and even a Public Service Announcement for your local radio station to use.
New posters are on the way! We’ll let you know as soon as they’re in stock
