A great profile of Moms in Touch International from today’s Courant:

They pray for safe classrooms. They pray that bullies will be caught. They pray for an end to the illnesses that sweep through schools, and the homework tantrums their kids throw.

They even pray for Mastery Test scores.

“We pray for anything and everything that’s affecting our schools,” said Mary Beth Lawrence, a Marlborough resident with five children who has been the state coordinator of Moms In Touch International for the last three years.

The organization, which operates groups in every state and in 120 countries around the world, was founded by a Canadian mother in 1984. In Connecticut, Lawrence said, there are 107 weekly prayer groups covering about 10 percent of the state’s schools.
