What propels a woman to leave the safety and familiarity of America and move to a country with staggering poverty and a soaring HIV rate? How do women who cannot read or write pray Scripture over their children, homes and community? And why should you be concerned with the plight of mothers incarcerated in countries around the globe? Today, Lee sits down with Kay West, Arizona State Team Member, International Leadership Developer, and Global Prison Ministry Liaison, to discuss all these things and the big God we serve.

About Our Guest:
Kay West is a grateful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ because of His grace and mercy. In addition to her roles with MIPI as International Leadership Developer for Southern Africa, Global Prison Ministry Liaison, and AZ State Team International Liaison, Kay also serves as president of Swaziserve, Inc. She and her husband, John, founded the ministry in 2009 before selling or giving away almost everything they owned to be missionaries in eSwatini and South Africa. Many stories of the amazing work God did during that time can be found in Kay’s book, “Refiner’s Fire–My Walk with God in the Kingdom of Swaziland.” Swaziserve continues to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus through “hands and feet” programs overseen by local Africans and administered by Kay and John, who currently reside in their “for now” home in Phoenix, AZ. Joining them is African Great Dane, Zeke, and intrepid world traveler Barney, a Dachshund mix.

Kay and Lee,
Thank you for this podcast! I serve in my local jail with MIP and I am missing praying with the women each week during this time of social isolation. This podcast reminded again me to broaden my prayers. I also am involved in a ministry in Kenya to women coming out of prison and their children.

Is MIP in Kenya?

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for your reply, and God bless you for your ministry in the local jail as well as your involvement with the ministry in Kenya! Isn’t it a joy to pray for sisters worldwide?! Yes, we do have wonderful MIPI activity in Kenya. Please feel free to contact our international department at INTERNATIONAL@MOMSINPRAYER.ORG if you’d like more information on that. Who knows–maybe there’s a MIPI connection possible with the Kenya ministry?! Blessings, Kay West
