On any given day, you might see a group of moms or a group of dads gathered at a local school. Not to volunteer, not to coach a team, not to deliver forgotten homework or lunches. No these groups are doing something altogether different.
They are praying.
Two groups have emerged over the years to take a more active role in guiding and shaping their children's futures: Moms In Touch and All Pro Dads.
Moms In Touch is an international organization which supports moms who come together every week to pray for theirs kids, the teachers at their kids' schools, and anyone else involved on a day-to-day basis with their children. They gather at local schools, local coffee shops, churches, anywhere they can get a chance to sit quietly and pray for each other's children.
Some Moms have prayed their children through the typical growing pains of adolescence, low grades, peer pressures, and injuries, only to see them graduate from high school and go on to become outstanding collegians. Many women have seen changes in their own lives, simply by learning how to pray. The challenge of praying for someone else taught them how to establish a deeper intimacy in their relationship with God and helped them learn about themselves, as well as how to lift up their children in prayer. And Moms aren't the only ones getting in touch with their kids.
Dads are now taking a more hands on role in their kids' lives, too. Thanks to former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy and his group All Pro Dad, men all across the nation are taking up the challenge issued by the organization to be a positive role model and influence in their sons' and daughters' lives.
Locally, the principal of Robey Elementary, Kyle Fessler, started a chapter of All Pro Dad to encourage men in his community to become better fathers. Men come together the last Friday of each month to meet and listen to a special speaker who addresses both dads and kids. More than 100 dads attend.
Whether you are a mom or a dad, if you are seeking ways to become more positive and influential role models for your children, these are two outstanding ways to get started. Stay in touch and be the superstar your kids sometimes think you are!
