I am involved in MIP in Edmond, OK. My daughter, who is 19, has joined the OK Army National Guard. She is currently in Combat Basic Training (CBT). I’m on an Army Mom’s FB. So many mothers are grieving that their son or daughter are in basic training and can not talk to their son or daughter very often. Is there a MIP for Military Mom’s? There seems to be a MIP for Military wives whose husbands are in the Military. We need MIP for mom’s that their son or daughter is at CBT and AIT. Thank you.

Hello Kristin, Thank you for your comment. Yes, we have MIP groups praying for sons and daughters in the military. Sarah Cochran, Oklahoma State Coordinator, can help you with this. Her email is: OK@MomsInPrayer.org I will also email Sarah and copy you. Praying today for peace for all of you as you walk with God through this time. God bless you.
I will be forwarding this to my friend who’s husband is a Marine, and just made another move from East coast to West coast with toddler and baby on the way in December.
I would be Interested in hearing about Moving s whose children have chosen the military life. Our son has been a Marine for 2 years this January. He’s on his first deployment. This lifestyle isn’t easy for sure and definitely is not the easiest on a Christian, young man or young women. Chaplains may be available on base, but not easily accessible. There may be a few friends who share their faith, but day to day life, the language, etc. may make it difficult to grow your faith.
I have buddies of my son who ask me to pray for them, who ask me to con’t to share scripture with them, etc.
Does your organization have a facet for Military MoMs of Active Duty? These kids need prayer for very specific things mostly spiritual growth and renwel. Us MoMs also need prayer. It’s hard to balance those mothering instincts , and also being a MoM to that active duty child and also children still at home.
