Moms In

Touch (MIT) is a single-minded ministry with a simple

mission - to pray for their children and the schools

they attend. Once a week, a group of between four and 12

mothers gather at a participant's home for one hour of

prayer.

Michelle

Holder of Peachtree City, the Fayette County coordinator

for MIT, said they follow a simple prayer format each

week. "The leader chooses one attribute of God to

focus on and we read Bible verses pertaining to that

attribute," she said.

A silent

confession time follows and those gathered then pray for

the specific needs of each of their children. "We

also pray for their teachers, selecting a couple of

different teachers a week." Holder added.

There are a

about a dozen prayer groups meeting throughout the

county, and Holder said, after several years, they are

attempting to get organized and get to know one another.

"I

started a group at Huddleston three years ago, which has

continued, and another group at Braelinn, where my

children now attend school," Holder said.

She

emphasized that MIT is an interdenominational Christian

gathering of mothers with the sole intent of praying

together. "We are not political and do not endorse

any school issues," Holder said. "We don't

proselytize nor do we solicit prayer requests."

Holder

learned about MIT from a radio broadcast. "It's an

international organization which started 15 years

ago," she noted. Today, there are approximately

33,000 groups worldwide who, according to MIT organizers,

"have been blessed with many answered prayers,

strengthened faith and renewed hope. It is the goal of

the ministry to have every public and private school,

from preschool level through college, covered with prayer

An
