Mothers’ Union Today
Mothers’ Union is an organisation of over 3.6 million women and men living in over 78 countries who believe in the importance of families. As well as encouraging and supporting families and marriage, members work to reach out as God’s family to those who are isolated, in trouble, or in need of help.
Through fellowship, programmes, policy and prayer, Mothers’ Union members around the world change lives and bring Christ’s hope.
Our aim and purpose is to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by the transformation of communities worldwide through the nurture of family in its many forms.
Mothers’ Union members do this by working towards 5 objectives:
· Supporting and promoting marriage
· Encouraging parents in their role to develop the faith of their children
· Maintaining a worldwide fellowship of Christians united in prayer, worship and service.
· Promoting conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children.
· Helping those whose family life has met with adversity
From parenting groups and prison ministry to relief and development programmes, Mothers’ Union works through local people to create lasting change in families and, therefore, communities.
Throughout all Mothers’ Union work prayer sustains and strengthens.
