Pray New Orleans

Submitted by:  Catherine Rumph, Woodland MOPS Coordinator.  New Orleans, LA

Dear Jill, the Pray New Orleans pendants that Compelling Creations made are beautiful! I am amazed that when God gave me a vision of a fish holding a fleur delis, that I am now holding this gorgeous sterling silver fish in my hands. Thank you for helping me make His dream a reality.

As you know, after the MOPS Convention in Orlando (where we passed out nearly 4,500 prayer cards) I came home, and through God's leading created a foundation called www.prayneworleans.org to facilitate Rebirth, Revival and Restoration in this city. Part of the plan is to help start new MOPS groups in areas that would not normally be reached by traditional MOPS, because as MOPS, we know "Better Moms Make a Better World."

Since planting the seeds for these three new groups our family's circumstances have changed. We will be leaving New Orleans as soon as we are able to sell our home.  We'll be moving to Houston where my parents live. All three potential MOPS groups are in possession of everything they need to get started including printed charters and funding for their groups. But, I will not be here to help them get started as I had planned. Our God is awesome and powerful - - and our prayers have the power to impact the city of New Orleans - - through MOPS - - forever! Please say a prayer for the future of these three groups and the Mighty Women of God he is raising up to lead them.

These are the three groups:

•  Fischer MOPS - Berean Bible Church (Outreach into the Fisher Housing Projects)
•  LOCC MOPS - Love Outreach Christian Church (African American Church sharing our building since hurricane Katrina)
• Center for Life MOPS - Pregnancy Crisis Center (Offering MOPS to moms who chose LIFE)

 Thank you again for creating these Pray New Orleans pendants. I'm saying a special prayer for each woman who will wear them - that her life be touched by the power of our prayers.
