Sally Burke is the president of Moms in Prayer International, a movement that mobilizes women around the world to gather to pray for their children and the schools they attend. Compelled by joy and the hope God gave her as she prayed with other moms, Sally began to reach out and share with many more mothers—first as a Moms in Prayer group leader, then as an area coordinator for her hometown of Temecula, California, and later as regional coordinator for Riverside County. In 2008, she became the director of field ministry at the Moms in Prayer headquarters, overseeing ministry expansion worldwide. Today, in her role as president of Moms in Prayer International, Sally’s vision remains true to that of the organization’s founder, Fern Nichols, who had a heart for more children, moms and schools to experience God’s life-changing answers to prayer. Sally and her husband, Ed, have four adult children and four grandchildren.
