Moms In Touch International gathers moms together to pray specifically and scripturally for our children and school. Won’t you join with us in prayer for this next generation?

First Step Pregnancy Resource Center: Has some empty baby bottles up back for you to take, fill with spare change, and bring back for donation to help them offer free confidential pregnancy tests along with resources to help women make an informed choice. Missions: Our goals and ambitions for ministry in a foreign land seem lofty and beyond our ability. Perhaps this is the posture God wants of us; we’ll at least know for sure that whatever progress occurs follows His might and accrues to His glory. The question about future ministry still hovers over us. But this much is clear: the Bible commands us to go, the field hopes we will come, the figures show us the need, the Spirit promises us the strength, the Judgment means we must go. An eternity will record our reply.
