Waiting and Watching
for a Prodigal's Return​

​Watching a loved one travel a destructive path is hard.  In the story Jesus told about the son who set off for a distant land squandering his inheritance, we find a grieving father waiting for his return.  We know he watches because Jesus paints the picture with these words (Luke 15:20, NIV),
​
 "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him."  

Like that father, families in the Waiting Room scan the horizon to catch a glimpse of their loved one's return; asking God to help them find their way home.  While they hold on, God has a place for  families to gather, to pray for one another, and offer words of hope and encouragement from His Word. Here they learn to rely on His strength for their journey.   

Waiting Room Ministry hopes you don't wait alone.  Join us as we wait on the LORD.   



Two New Waiting Rooms
Whatever problem you face today, I hope you know you are not alone! Christian families worldwide understand your pain as their children take the broad road apart from the life God offers on the narrow one. 
 
We are adding two new OnLine Waiting Rooms for families whose journey includes a loved one who abandoned the Faith or rejected Biblical Christianity and another group for those whose adult child cut them out of their life. Both are common griefs parents experience in these dark days. 

If you are interested in either group, please sign up, and we will contact you when the group is up.

Intercessory prayer is the affectionate and persistent outreach of one’s heart toward God, that He—by His mercy and grace—may so release His convicting power upon a sinner that the sinner would find it easier to yield to the compelling tug of the Holy Spirit than to continue in his native rebellion.
