“God loves us equally. He does not love one more because he is doing more. He does not love one less because he sinned again. No, His love is overwhelming and accessible for all of us.” God, in His mercy and lovingkindness, has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit. And through Him, we have received spiritual gifts to serve Him and build up the body of Christ. And yet, our flesh can get in the way! Listen in to this week’s episode with our Chile Country Coordinator, Sandra Bosch, and be encouraged in using your gifts for the glory of God and the good of the church.The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Since she accepted Christ as her Savior, the Lord has guided, challenged and trained her in praying for others, filling her heart with His love for the lost. In 2010, the Lord introduced her to Moms in Prayer, with the need to prayer for her then 2-year-old daughter. Currently, Sandra serves as Country Coordinator in Chile together with many incredible women who serve beside her on the Moms in Prayer International Chilean Team. Sandra and her husband Juan Pablo reside in Santiago de Chile, with their two lovely daughters, Anabel (17) and Tamara (13), and their two Chilean Fox Terriers, Manchita and Chiquitin. SCRIPTURESbecause, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 ESVAs each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:10-11 ESV“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7:7-11 ESVFor I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing… Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! Romans 7:19, 25a NIVI planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 NIVLINKSNew to Moms in Prayer?

“One of our highest callings is to come alongside our husbands and help them to be the men that God has called them to be so that we can be the couple that God has called us to be.” In 1 Corinthians 11, we are reminded that God has given a proper order to everything. As wives, God has given us the beautiful assignment of building up our husbands and submitting to them, just as Jesus submitted to the Father’s will. When we place God as supreme in our lives, He will give us what we need to love and serve others as He has called us to.

I dropped in on the meeting and it was great! The four steps format was easy to follow and we prayed Scripture straight from the Bible over our children and their schools. We prayed together in small groups of two or three. It was comforting to know that what we prayed about stayed in our group. We went through many trials and struggles with all of our children, but the comfort and peace I had every time I left those meetings was indescribable. We had indeed gone to battle for our children through prayer.I was born in Alabama. I am a wife, mom, Bible teacher, Board certified Biblical Counselor and Co-founder with my husband at Ready to Remarry Ministries. I love serving with Moms in Prayer as State Coordinator of Mississippi. I have a burning desire in my heart to see others learn about the love of Jesus and how He can transform their lives. Prayer changes things; I know this for sure. My husband, James, and I are blessed with seven children. That’s a lot of prayers, for sure. One of the very best things you can do for your children and others in this world today is pray.

“There is a battle for our affections.” In 1 Corinthians 10, we are reminded how easily the Israelites fell into idolatry and temptation despite the miracles they saw God perform and how He provided for them each step of the way. And yet, we too are sheep who are easily led astray by our flesh and the desires of this world. As we stay aware and remember what God has done, we can be thankful people and see and experience God’s best. Hear more from our Director of Finance, Marianne Holm, in the podcast.

That is the prize of a champion!” North Dakota State Coordinator, Jean Hendrickson, joins us on the podcast today to talk through 1 Corinthians 9. She reminds us of the importance of keeping an eternal perspective.

Moms in Prayer has been an important part of my life and my family's life for approximately 25 years. I first heard about Moms in Prayer from my pastor's wife when she asked me if I would like to pray for my children, my response was a resounding yes! We started a Moms in Prayer group and then heard Fern Nichols at an event in ND. I was all in! I prayed for 18 years before knowing there were big things happening in this organization, that it was spreading around the world! I served as an Area Coordinator for one year before being prayed into the State Coordinator position. I have met so many beautiful ladies through Moms in Prayer and have learned so much from them.I have been married to my kindergarten crush for 42 years. We have been farming on his and my parents' family farms for 46 years. We credit God for getting us to where we are today. My husband is the best cheerleader for Moms in Prayer! We co-led a youth group for 19 years. This helped us understand what challenges our youth are facing and were able to place them on the Moms in Prayer "mat". We participated in prison ministry for many years and were able to see the answers to the prayers of moms and grandmothers for their loved ones who were now inmates, as they were giving their life to Christ in prison. Meet them where they are at Lord!We have three grown and married children, Blase, Danielle and Cole. We rejoice that they and their spouses follow Jesus. They have blessed us with six grandchildren (3 boys and 3 girls). Blase farms with us and if his three-year-old can decide his future, at least one grandson will hope to farm. Danielle is a realtor and Cole is a CFO of an electric cooperative. All live within two hours of us...YAY!SCRIPTURESThen Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29 NIVFor the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.” 1 Timothy 5:18 ESVThen he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:37-38 NIVI have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 NIVI press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

After serving for 10 years as our Iowa State Coordinator, she now serves as our Heartland Division Coordinator, overseeing seven states. She plans to continue to pray in a group as long as the Lord gives her the physical and mental ability. Her oldest son battled severe asthma which resulted in a number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations throughout his childhood on up to college. She would battle anxiety and fear whenever he developed a runny nose or cough and a feeling of dread would come over her.

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28 NIVThen Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 16:24-25 ESVAnd I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:3-5 ESVLINKSMOMS IN PRAYERNew to Moms in Prayer?

“The culture around us puts many good things around us, but a lot of times we let them crowd out the most important thing—helping our kids seek God through His Word.” Elizabeth Urbanowicz, CEO of Foundation Worldview, helps us as Christian parents to equip our children in the Word of God and to carefully discern every idea they encounter. She shares proactive tools we can use to do this as busy moms and how to incorporate them into our children’s day. We don’t have to be fearful about what our kids are facing.

Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, she realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. She created curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality.
