“At the time of our creation, God knit into you and me all we would need to fight the battle for our children’s return.”  God is so good!  Today Stacy speaks with our Mississippi State Coordinator, Teresa Newcomer.  Teresa has walked through many storms in this life and she is going to point us to the hope that is strong and trustworthy, an anchor for our souls.  This episode will encourage everyone who is looking for hope, especially hope for prodigals.  About our Guest: Teresa Newcomer is honored to serve as Mississippi’s first Moms in Prayer State Coordinator. She first became a group leader and started a group for her son’s school in 2013, not realizing God was preparing her for leadership as an Area Coordinator and then State Coordinator in 2017. Nothing makes her happier than sharing the joy of praying for children and schools. She enjoys every opportunity to speak to churches and women’s groups about the power of prayer. Teresa and her husband, Will, have been married nearly 35 years and have a daughter, 27, and a son, 22. They enjoy traveling, discovering new places and   have been blessed by many years of being involved in volunteer missions both at home and abroad.

So there is hope for your descendants,” declares the Lord. “Your children will return to their own land.” Luke 18:7-8 (NIV) And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?  I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” John 16:33 (NIV) “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Acts 17:25 (NIV) “And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.“
