We are always looking for women interested in joining a group or starting a group for their child's school.
 
First, click on the School/Group Info link to see if there is an existing group for the school.

Who can Join?

  • A Moms In Touch International group is two or more moms who meet for one hour each week to pray for their children, their schools, their teachers, and administrators.

  • Mothers, grandmothers, or anyone who is willing to pray for a specific child and school.

  • Moms In Touch International is an interdenominational, Christ-centered ministry.
     

  • Moms who believe that prayer makes a difference

    • Starting A Group

    • Pray that God brings you another mom who will be willing to meet with you each week for prayer.  In faith, ask a mom to meet you to pray for your child and his/her school.
    • Make a list of prospective moms and ask them to join your prayer time.
       
    • Follow the Moms In Touch International (MITI) guidelines and format for prayer time.
    • Make sure you are controlled by the Holy Spirit.  Trust God for answers to prayer, focus on Him, and expect great things to happen.
       
    • We encourage you to order a Moms In Touch booklet.  The booklet contains important and useful information for starting a group:

      - The Moms In Touch prayer and praise format.
      - Guidelines and suggestions for forming a group.
      - Scriptures to pray for your children
      - How to encourage school staff and administration.
      - How to pray conversationally with "one accord" praying.
    • To order a Moms In Touch booklet, click here.

    As you begin:

  • Come as you are. 

  • Be faithful in meeting for one hour on a weekly basis.  Make this hour a solid commitment to pray.

  • Start and finish on time.  If some moms would care to stay longer for fellowship and sharing, do so following the prayer time.

  • Do not serve refreshments.  This could be a distraction for your group and an unnecessary burden for the hostess.

  • When meeting in a home, make a decision ahead of time as to how you will handle the phone and doorbell during the meeting.  Placing a "Please Do Not Disturb" note on the door and disconnecting the phone might be the answer.  This prayer time is precious and should be undisturbed.

    • Share with friends and acquaintances using the MITI brochures, which may be ordered from Moms In Touch International at no cost for small quantities. Remember to include your name and phone number or address on the brochure.

    • Place a notice in your church bulletin.  Here is a sample: 
      Attention, Moms!  Here is an opportunity for you to become part of a group called Moms In Touch International.  It is a group of mothers who meet for one hour each week to pray for their children and the schools they attend.  We know our children face much pressure at school and to "stand in the gap" through prayer is the best gift we can give to them.  If you are interested in being part of this praying support group, please contact [give your name and phone number].

    • Invite a few friends into your home to share the ministry in one of the
      following ways:

    • Show the MITI promotional video, available at the address above

    • Share a part of the Focus on the Family broadcast tape of Moms In Touch
      International (air date, August, 1999)
      Focus On the Family
      Colorado Springs, CO 80995-0001
      Call 1-800-A-FAMILY for credit card orders

    • Each Moms In Touch group should represent only one school.  This allows
      specific prayer for the needs of each school.

    • We recommend using the Christian community to promote MITI.

      Orders for booklets, brochures and video tapes from MITI headquarters are mailed once a week.  Please return the registration card inside your MITI booklet or register your group online by clicking here or at the Register Your Group link on the Home Page of this website.
      (This will insure your receiving future MITI newsletters, as well as make it possible for us to help other moms who call us to find a group in your
      area.)

    • A Bible, notebook and a Member Sheet (page 37 of the newly revised Moms In Touch booklet).

    • Her own Moms In Touch International booklet.

    • To allow another person the privilege of caring for her preschool children during this hour.
