Standing on their shoulders

My friend from church prayed in a Moms in Prayer group for her children's elementary school, middle school, and high school.  When her youngest graduated, she was teaching high school, and missed Moms in Prayer so much that she started a Teachers in Prayer group! 

Another friend started a Moms in Prayer group when her oldest was in 1st grade.  Her youngest just graduated from high school this year.  

For a few years, these friends were in the same group that prayed for our district's middle and high schools.  

And we! We are reaping the fruit of their labor!  

Our middle school principal was a youth pastor before he became principal. 

And at baccalaureate this past spring, for the first time one of the local ministers did not give the message.  Our high school principal did!  And he gave testimony to saving faith in Jesus Christ!

Cue the Doxology!

We are standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us ... and prayed ... and prayed for years!  And now our Moms in Prayer groups for our school district pray weekly for the Lord to bring the person of His choosing to be our next superintendent (effective mid-2028).  

God can do anything! And it's a joy to be part of what He's doing in our little school district. 

If you have a child in public school, check out Moms in Prayer to see if there is a group for your school.  If not, it's really easy to start one! 

If you have a university student, there may be a Moms in Prayer group on Zoom for your student's university! 

If you're a grandma, what better legacy to give your grandchildren than starting a Grandmas' Prayer Group?!

Our church in Wisconsin has a church-based Moms in Prayer group.

If you are a teacher, why not start a Teachers in Prayer group for your school?

The Moms in Prayer website even has their materials translated into several other languages!
