Many of your children will be starting college in the fall. God is at work on our college campuses!

From a College MITI Group in New Hampshire

One of the ladies in our group came to MITI very unsettled. Her daughter was rushing for a sorority, and this mom was concerned about the party lifestyle the sorority encouraged. We had never prayed much for the fraternities and sororities on this campus; no one had ever had a child involved in the Greek system before. So, we prayed. Oh, how we prayed! A year later, we invited some campus ministry workers to talk with us about needs on campus. “The strangest thing has happened,” one of them told us. “For years we have wanted to reach the fraternities and sororities and the way seemed barred. This year, we have had wonderful opportunities to meet with them and share the gospel, and we were even able to give out Bibles to everyone. This is a huge breakthrough.” Oh how we rejoiced as God showed us once again that when we pray, He moves.

From Debbie in Wisconsin

My son is a second-year student at the University of Wisconsin, living off campus. During my last visit to his apartment, which he shares with four other young men, the posters hanging in their living room were a reminder to me to keep praying for all of them—the devil wants our kids. 

From Fran in Ohio

My daughter was entering her freshman year at Ohio University. I had been praying throughout her senior year that God would provide a roommate who held the same values as our family. The day we moved our daughter in, I was standing outside the room with her new roommate’s father when he casually mentioned something about God. I immediately responded, letting him know I was a Christian. He then told me that he had been praying throughout his daughter’s entire senior year that she would get a Christian roommate! Praise God for a perfect fit. The girls hold each other accountable, attend church every Sunday and have become the best of friends.

From Jan in California

I was talking to my college freshman son on the phone when he casually mentioned that he was in a “Friday night beer group.” Then he went right on chatting about other things. Who knows what. I was still thinking about the Friday night beer group. I was still thinking about all the prayers and all the MITI moms who’ve prayed for him since kindergarten. Well, college students do drink beer, I mused—but it’s illegal! My mind was racing, college students will be college students, but, no, not him. Finally, in a squeaky little voice, I interrupted to inquire, “Uh, what were you saying about a, uh, Friday night beer group?” “Oh, yea,” he said, “we’re a group of guys; we get together to keep one another accountable; we pray together and brainstorm ways we can minister to other students.” Wow. (Whew!) “That sounds awesome,” I said. Still, I couldn’t help asking what beer had to do with it. “Oh, that,” he said with a smile in his voice, “our names are Benjamin, Eric, Eric and Ryan.”

From Harvard University

A Christian brother, who has been raised as a Muslim, gave his testimony on how he met the living Christ and how this encounter changed his life. He invited students to explore the reality of the Christian faith and how they can have a personal relationship with the living God.

From Karla, a Contact Person, in Arizona

In February over 500 students from Southwestern College, Grand Canyon University, University of Arizona, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and community colleges attended a Take My Life conference. The student 24/7 Prayer coordinators from each university talked about Moms In Touch prayer support and announced to everyone how much it means to them. I was surprised when they pointed me out as the connection, but I was totally blessed later when students came up to me over and over again expressing their gratitude. Many of them had moms who had been in MITI groups, and I had the joy of hearing stories about God’s answers to their moms’ prayers. I cannot tell you the depth of their gratitude. To me it was humbling—we are simply doing what every mom should be doing, praying for the next generation—but to them it is so much more. 

One of the student leaders at Arizona State University (ASU) is convinced that God’s powerful answers to the prayers of local Moms In Touch, has led to one of the most dynamic prayer movements that has ever been present on the ASU campus.
