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 together to pray for
their children and schools. In 1984, Fern was fearful about
sending her two eldest children off to junior high. She knew the
school would be a battlefield for their hearts and minds. She
realized the warfare would be intense and to fight in this battle
she needed to invite other moms to pray. She called a mom and
asked her to pray with her for their children and school. Her
response was an immediate “yes,” and that was the humble
beginning of Moms in Prayer that now spans the USA in every state
and is in 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 for over 50 years. They were involved with Campus Crusade
for Christ (now CRU) for 15 years. They have four children and 10
grandchildren.
