Kathy Coleman, MDOP founder, explains the significance of this new relationship. “This year on 1/18/14, I believe our hearts need to focus on the families that are still together to stay together, on single moms, dads and grandparents raising children/grandchildren, and on the safety of the children/grandchildren as they attend their schools. These are the three areas of great concern in my heart as I hear from moms and grandmothers across our land. Mom’s Day of Prayer is putting our prayers into “action” by partnering with Safe and Sound Schools. This is a non-profit co-founded by Alissa Parker and Michele Gay, both moms whose daughters, Emilie and Joey, were tragically taken from them at Sandy Hook Elementary in December of 2012. At each MDOP we pray for our schools and now we can help share safeandsoundschools.org with the world.”
Coleman and her rapidly growing ranks of MDOP organizers believe God is raising up generation after generation of precious praying moms. They are experiencing firsthand how God is answering the heartfelt prayers of moms as they gather together in one accord, across denominational lines, humbling themselves as they pray for their own precious children and the children of their communities, states and the world.
