Can you help? The initial 10,000 copy printing of our book, Wild Child Waiting Mom, is nearly depleted – and it’s time to reprint. We’ll be printing the same book, cover, and design through Focus on the Family (not under Tyndale), and this time the expenses of printing will be met by Wild Child Ministries.
We need to raise $5,000 to cover costs and are hoping you can help meet this need. The good news is that the money will return to the ministry as copies are sold, to be used for additional printing.
We are praying that God will provide funds for this second printing so we can continue to encourage struggling families. No gift is too small. Thank you in advance for your donation!

Dear friend, ARE YOU:
Still waiting for your prodigal to return home to Christ?
Still praying through tears year after year?
Still hoping for that miracle?
- • Don’t give up!
- • Don’t stop praying!
God’s timetable is not the same as yours. He is accomplishing His purposes as you wait on Him in prayer. So remember this: As long as there’s life and breath, there’s hope for your beloved’s return! “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” – James 5:16 (ESV)
Recently Dan & Karilee were given opportunity to share their testimony as parents who awaited Wendi’s return to Christ for 20 years.

God, and God alone, brought our prodigal daughter back to Himself in 2000. How we Praise Him!

“If you, then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him?” Matt. 7:11
The first Christmas following our daughter’s downward spiral into rebellion, our hearts were filled with great sorrow. Wendi was sixteen – and pregnant. Where could we find “joy to the world” that season? How could we celebrate Christmas when we hurt so deeply? The only gift we wanted that Christmas—our only wish—was for our beloved prodigal to return home to Christ. Yet, during those days of heartache . . . and every single day of her waywardness . . . we discovered an abundance of gifts readily available to us, her parents. Where? . . . Under the tree called Calvary, where plenteous gifts were ours for the taking: Read the rest…
IT’S A WAR ZONE OUT THERE:
Research has shown that more than 75% of Christian teens are leaving their faith (or churches) after graduation from high school (stated by the Barna Group, and Lifeway Research). What a sobering statistic! It is Wild Child Ministries’ desire and purpose to be “in the trenches”—battling with families through prayer, counseling, and solid biblical resources, for the return of their prodigals—to help draw these loved ones back to a living, vibrant and energetic faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
