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 53 years. They were involved with Campus Crusade for
Christ (now CRU) for 15 years. They have four children and 10
grandchildren.

Scripture: 


Scriptures about Sarah (Sarai) found in Genesis 12, 16-18, 21


Hebrews 11:11-12 (NIV) And by faith even Sarah, who was past
childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because
she considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so
from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants
as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand
on the seashore.


Psalm 138:2 (NLT) I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I
praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for
your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.


Psalm 89:8 (NLT) O Jehovah, Commander of the heavenly armies,
where is there any other Mighty One like you? Faithfulness is
your very character.


Psalm 5:3 (NIV) In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the
morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.


Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) As iron sharpens iron, so one person
sharpens another.


Matthew 19:26 (NIV) Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this
is impossible, but with God all things are possible."


Philippians 1:6 (NIV) 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.


Romans 4:19-21(NIV) Without weakening in his faith, he faced the
fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a
hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet
he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God,
but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to
God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he
had promised.


Jeremiah 32:27 (NIV)“I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is
anything too hard for me?
