God Used Moms in Prayer Moms on e3 Partners Trips in 2010

In 2007, Moms in Prayer International started working with the mission agency e3 Partners to offer Moms in Prayer training sessions in countries around the world. Last year, eight Moms in Prayer moms went on five mission trips with e3 Partners.

After the October trip to Bolivia, the e3 Partners church planter wrote Moms in Prayer International, saying, “Thanks for allowing us to partner with you in this important responsibility. Moms in Prayer moms are ALWAYS welcome on one of my trips.”

For 2011, 14 trips are planned to 12 different countries. Click here to see the calendar.

Below are some approximate numbers that reflect the impact of those who answered God’s call to go last year.
