 In 1998, the Holy Spirit initiated the Moms in Prayer International ministry in Singapore when I was burdened by mothers who were struggling with their children and the pressures of coping with our high-standard educational system. Sensing the urgency, I brought this petition before the Lord. God answered my prayer when I came across the Booklet. In obedience to the Lord, I began our very first meeting in my home, praying for my children’s school. Under the direction and blessings of the Lord, the ministry grew over the years.
In November 2009, we held the Arise! Cry Out! event in Singapore, which was remarkable. God blessed us with the perfect location in the heart of Singapore. At the event, we hung banners inscribed with the Names of God as a reminder of who God is and His greatness. It was a brilliant, inspiring day where our Lord Jesus Christ's presence was in our midst.
We praise God for sending us approximately 70 ladies from across denominational lines to unite as one family in the body of Christ and to worship, pray and weep over the lives of our children and the generations to come. It was a beautiful picture of unity, as we connected with God and one another through one accord prayer. We also rejoiced over God’s faithfulness to bring both the local and international schools together for the first time ever to share in this historic day of prayer!
Many of us realize the significance of our role not only as moms but also as "foster moms" and now look at the kids in the streets, including any child who might come before our eyes, as opportunities to pray for them. Imagine how many children would be prayed for if every Christian mom did this!
 One mother who works as a school counselor said that the moms' prayers are opening doors for her to share the Word of God with students and teachers.
We are excited by what God is doing through Moms in Prayer Singapore and believe He will do even greater things this coming year! We trust in Jesus as He continues to lead us in spreading the passion to pray in this city. Our prayer has always been for God to stir the hearts of moms with the desire to pray and to add more of these precious ladies not only to Moms in Prayer International in Singapore but throughout the world. All glory and honor and praise be unto Him.
