A group of Moms In Prayer from a South Texas Leadership Gathering in Bryan, Texas stand together in 2018.
Moms’ prayers matter
With the academic year back in
full swing, many school-aged kids
spend much of their day outside of
their homes.
Because complex mental, social

and spiritual tests face our students
and schools many moms have
decided to unite for a common cause.
These moms gather to pray.
Moms In Prayer International (MIP
International) are women who gather
regularly to pray God’s will over their
children and the schools they attend.
There are groups in over 145
countries. The vision of MIP International
is simple: that every school in
the world be covered in prayer. MIP
International impacts children and
schools worldwide for Christ by
gathering moms to pray. They believe
that where they gather, Jesus will be
with them, as Matthew 18:20 says.
They also believe that if they ask
anything “according to His will,” they
will be heard, as John 5:14 records.
Pauline Pope was drawn to MIP
International in 2002. After the
adoption of two children, prayer
played a key role in staying resilient.

She loved the discipline of prayer and
has gathered to pray with other moms
weekly since then. Pauline is grateful
to the faithful women in her group
who have journeyed with her through
challenging seasons of life by consistently
pointing her to the cross.
After seeing the impact MIP International
makes in people’s lives,
Pauline stepped up to serve as MIP
International’s South Texas Coordinator.
She loves seeing the benefits of
prayer flood into the home environment
and the community, not to
mention seeing the difference it has
made in the lives of individual
students. In one such community, a
student named Keely was directly
impacted by the persistent prayer of
these moms. Keely’s heart and life
were in turmoil due to bullying at
school and she began cutting her

wrist to cope with the stress. Her
mom’s MIP International group came
together on her behalf. Through
prayer, counseling and much love,
God restored Keely’s life. Those who
so fervently prayed for her healing
were amazed to see their answered
prayers.
Keely’s story is just one of many.
There are well over 600 MIP International
groups impacting the lives of
students and schools in Texas alone.
Among those are 37 here in San
Antonio, including two
Spanish-speaking groups and one
Korean group.
