Scriptures (NIV):
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. Luke 18:1
You do not have because you do not ask God. James 4:2c
As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. 1 Samuel 12:23
“I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.” Ezekiel 22:30
I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. Isaiah 62:6-7
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

About our Guest:
Fern Nichols is a former elementary school teacher and the founder of Moms in Prayer International, a prayer movement that mobilizes women around the world to gather and pray for their children and schools. In 1984, Fern was fearful about sending her two oldest children to junior high. She knew the school would be a battlefield for their hearts and minds and realized the warfare would be intense and to fight in this battle, she needed to invite other moms to pray. Fern called another mom and asked her to pray with her for their children and school. Her friend’s response was an immediate “yes,” and that was the humble beginning of Moms in Prayer that now spans every state in the USA and more than 150 countries. Fern has traveled to almost every continent in the world speaking, teaching and training women how to pray effectively. She and her husband Rle have been married 53 years. They were involved with Campus Crusade for Christ (now CRU) for 15 years. Fern and Rle have four children and ten grandchildren.
