Greetings to each of you from Kathy –
A True Story:
Last week my 21-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, said to me, “Mom, I want God to just come down here and speak to me….stand right beside me and speak to me.” Of course, I assured her that God is right there with her at all times but she still had that look of unbelief in her eyes.
Then last Friday evening as she was driving home she hit a deer. It was 11:30 p.m. in the evening. She pulled over to park her car and a fireman “just happened” to see her hit the deer and pulled over to check on Elizabeth. He urged her to stand outside the car because it was very dangerous to be sitting in a parked car on a busy highway.
Elizabeth lives in Little Rock, AR and I live 2 hours away but I “just happened” to be in Little Rock that weekend visiting with my niece.
The next day she needed me to pick her up at the collision shop but needed help tying her car hood down because it would not stay shut. Of course, I did not know how to do this but as soon as Elizabeth hung up from talking to me, a new resident at her apartment complex came walking by. She asked him if he had any rope and if he knew how to tie down her hood. Well, he “just happened” to have some rope and he tied down her hood so she could drive to the collision shop.
Coincidences – No, I believe God answered my prayers. When Elizabeth shared with me a week ago that she wanted God to come down and be right beside her, I began praying that God would show himself real to Elizabeth and he has!
Think of this….think of ALL THE PRAYERS that were prayed on January 21, 2006. How excited do you think God was to hear ALL THOSE PRAYERS!! Do you believe He is at work answering those prayers? HALLELUJAH – PRAISE GOD – HE IS!!
Matthew 18:19-20, “Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” (NIV)
Planning for a MDOP in 2007 –
If you are Coordinating a MDOP in 2007, please let Melinda or I know. Contact Melinda at msparkhawk@hotmail.com or me at kathy@momsdayofprayer.com. We want to get your church listed on the MDOP website for 2007!
MDOP Office has moved –
The MDOP office is in our new location. Melinda and I are so very excited to be out of my home. This office space has been donated to us by ERC Properties, Inc. Please pray for God’s blessings on this company.
Our address is: P.O. Box 11945, Ft. Smith, AR, 72917 and our MDOP phone number is 479-452-6215.
Here are some more exciting comments from 2006 MDOP Coordinators –
Deborah in New York – “It was a total blessing! I let the moms know that there were mothers all around the world praying in one accord on that day. I am confident we will grow next year to include other areas.”
Pastor Kelly in Indiana – “We gathered and prayed through our emotions, fears and were able to pray in joy and thanksgiving for our children.”
Cyletha in Kentucky – “We had a beautiful time praising God and praying for our children. During the week of this prayer event, there was a news report about two mothers that were killed in an automobile accident and left children and spouses behind. We felt led by the Holy Spirit to pray for these children who had lost their moms that week.”
Barbara in Ohio – “The MDOP caused one young mother to go home that evening and spend quality time with her four-year-old daughter. Her daughter, by her mother’s admission, has “rage”. The mother was very much inspired by coming to the MDOP. Another young mother who has a three-year-old boy told me that when she got home, she looked over the prayers and saw that many of them spoke to her concerning the issue she has with her son. These prayers were written out by me before the MDOP.
On Sunday, another mother came to me where I was sitting and without a word kissed me on the head and walked away. I humbly felt like it was her way of saying, “Thank you”. I can hardly wait to get started on contacting all the churches in our area for 2007!”
Kay from Missouri – “The Lord was in our presence. One lady from another church came to me and said, “The minute I walked through these doors, I felt the Lord.” It was an awesome time.”
Thanks to each of you for sharing from your hearts. We are blessed to hear from you.
More to come –
I have stacks of reports from MDOP Coordinators that I will continue to share in future MDOP Updates. It thrills my soul over and over as I read these stories. I wish I could print every word that are in these letters and emails. I am so thankful.
Please continue to pray for the MDOP movement. YOUR PRAYERS make a difference. Please pray for the MDOP finances, for God to spread the word about MDOP and for every town and city across the world to have a MDOP.
There is no way I can thank each of you enough for the kindness you have shown me in the Homegoing of my mother. You have been a source of comfort in my life. Thank you. May God bless you and always remember - Proverbs 3:5-6 - which were my precious mother’s favorite verses. You are in our prayers, Kathy
