The Ministry of Mothers Sharing (MOMS) Facilitator’s Guide combines the complete lesson plans from the Developing a Ministry manual with the corresponding pages from the Personal Journal. All the materials you need to run each session are at your fingertips! Used together, the three resources allow every member of the MOMS program to have her own book. The Staff Liaison uses the Developing a Ministry manual to run the overall program; every mom who participates receives her own Personal Journal. Each group leader gets a Facilitator’s Guide with which to run the sessions.

This book is also available as part of a special MOMS Evaluation Kit, set of four titles
