Founder and President of Moms In Touch International  Fern Nichols, President and Founder of Moms In Touch International (MITI), located in Poway, California, loves to pray.  She remembers as a young child going to Wednesday night prayer meetings where she would sit next to her mother in the pew with her legs dangling too short to reach the floor.  As she listened to the prayers of the saints, her heart was filled with peace and security. In every circumstance, whether she was at home, or coming and going in the car, or at church, Fern's mother demonstrated that a loving God cared and was attentive to hear and answer prayers.  As a result, Fern asked Jesus into her heart as a young girl. As a wife and mother of four children, Fern never could have imagined herself being called by God to teach, equip, mobilize, and encourage women to pray for children and schools.  She says, "Moms In Touch International is a simple ministry: encouraging moms to get together and pray for their children and schools, believing that through prayer God releases His power." God has taken the ministry from one mom in 1984 to groups in every state in the nation and in more than 140 countries.  The Moms In Touch Booklet is now translated into several languages.  It is a ministry that is greatly impacting eternity right here on earth. Fern possesses the tenderness of a mother, the strength of a warrior and the wisdom of a seasoned teacher. She speaks with contagious enthusiasm and passion which inspires the listener to believe God for the impossible.  She is a popular speaker at conferences and retreats, and has been a featured guest several times on many national radio and TV programs such as Focus on the Family with Dr. James Dobson and Family Life Today with Dennis Rainey. She has authored these books: • Moms In Touch International Booklet describes the purpose of MITI, the prayer format, and shares how to start an MITI group. • When Moms Pray Together: True Stories of God's Power to Transform your Child includes 25 powerful testimonies of prayers answered in Moms In Touch groups. • Prayers From a Mom's Heart shares thirty topical prayers to pray for your child. • Every Child Needs a Praying Mom is a Silver Medallion winner.  She shares insight into the power of prayer for children and the impact of the legacy of prayer on future generations. These books are available on the MITI website (www.MomsInTouch.org) or at local Christian bookstores. Fern and her husband Rle were married in 1968 and have four children: Tyrone, Troy, Travis, and Trisha, three daughters-in-love, Patti, Bonnie, and Tara, a son-in-love, Chris, and several grandchildren.
