Bringing Home the Prodigals



For the past few weeks I've been helping out at Focus on the Family alongside Wayne :) It's been my privilege to help with the coordination of "Bringing Home the Prodigals." Rob Parsons, director of Care for the Family in the U.K., is to bring a message to NZ that has already impacted thousands across the world.

Christchurch: Tuesday, 21 August - Majestic House - 7:30pm
Lower Hutt: Wednesday, 22 August - Lower Hutt Town Hall - 7:30pm
Tauranga: Thursday, 23 August - Holy Trinity - 7:30pm
Auckland: Saturday, 25 August - Auckland Town Hall - 7:30pm

"Stemming from the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, Bringing Home the Prodigals is a message of hope and reconciliation for those with prodigal sons, daughters, siblings, spouses, friends or parents... We’ve all been prodigals... Parsons discusses how we, individually and as a church, should treat prodigals who do come home. Will we be the father – waiting with open arms and unconditional love – or will we be the older brother – judging the prodigal and scorning the father’s love?"
