Nebraska State Coordinator, Andrea Wallace
Welcome! Whether you are ready for this spiritual battlefield or feeling defeated by never-ending tribulation, you have come to the right place. You were not meant to toil alone!
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, “Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up!”
So, my dear sisters, let’s enter into this battlefield together so that when one of us falls, another mom lifts us up. While it may be tempting to take away our kid’s TV, phone, computer, and friends, or even place our children in a giant bubble, we know that is only putting a small bandage over a serious heart problem. Let’s cry out together in one accord to our God Almighty that he will perform heart surgery on our children and the school staff, producing spiritual fruit!

My Moms in Prayer Story
Moms in Prayer (MIP) is a dear ministry to me. I was invited to join my first MIP (Korean) group while living on Long Island when my daughter was in kindergarten. At that time, I was a new Christian and didn’t really know how to pray. Even though I had grown up in church, I thought that we were only supposed to pray for big, general things. However, as we spent one hour a week meditating on an attribute of God, I began to understand how vast and multifaceted our God is. He is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and abundant in all aspects, yet also an intimate God who cares about the smallest of needs.
When I told the ladies in my group that I was moving to Nebraska (I am a Korean-American, ex-big city girl), they prayed that I would be able to find a group or even start a group. Once there, I found out that there was no group praying for my children’s elementary school, so by God’s grace, I started a group with our current regional coordinator and I continue to co-lead that group today.
Over the last 8 years of praying with MIP, my children have not magically become the most obedient or self-controlled kids; they are still a work in progress. Instead, God has changed my prayers from seeking outside behavior changes to praying for heart changes that produce good fruit. And through my journey in the wilderness, God has used MIP and my amazing accountability ladies to help me step outside of my comfort zone, lean on them for support, and to rest and have deeper conversations with Him, depending on Him more and more.
My prayer for you is that as you come and pray with us, you will seek and set your minds on things that are above and put on love each day. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (From Colossians 3:1-2, 14, 17).
