Episode 109 - Praying for Mamas and Babies Around the World

Christina Gard believes her family can change the world as they
pray and as the give.  In today’s episode, Lee sits down

Babies program, and how Moms in Prayer dovetails in mission and
vision. Christina talks candidly about the sacrifices her family
is making to support other moms, and the incredible blessings her
family is receiving as a result.
