Welcome
to The Waiting Room Ministry!
Are you looking
for a ministry of prayer and care for those in great need? The Prayer
Shawl Ministry may be a way for you, your church,
or your community to reach out with love and care to others who
are hurting. Hundreds of people from churches and in communities
around the United States are using the patterns for making prayer
shawls. Many,
many people
have been comforted and felt loved through this ministry. There
are links on this web site with directions for making prayer shawls,
prayer links and prayer squares, suggestions for how to begin this
ministry, some ideas about how to invite others to participate in
the ministry, and some prayer shawl stories from those who are involved
in the ministry, in their own community or church. May the Lord
lead, guide, bless, and anoint you and your prayer shawl ministry
for the glory of God! Please consider sending a prayer shawl story
to us to encourage and inspire others to become involved in the
prayer shawl ministry. |
We
rejoice that there are nearly 100,000 web pages on the Internet
about prayer shawls! God has inspired many, many people for many
generations to serve the Lord through prayer using shawls in diverse
ways. How great is our God to lead and guide so many people over
so many years to create prayer shawls using different materials,
praying similar and diverse prayers, and for many different ministry
uses.

"People
have been combining prayer and knitting for the ministry of others
for many years. As early as 1995, hospice patients have been blessed
with knitted gifts to bring God's love through the comfort and warmth
of hand knit items."
"And
the Lord is before all things and in God all things are held together."
Colossians 1:17
Let us rejoice in the Lord for the thousands of people who are presently
creating prayer shawls for the glory of God!

fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

"Let
us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds."
Hebrews 10:24
"For it
was you who formed my inward parts, you knit me together in my mother's
womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful
are your works; that I know very well." Psalm 139:13-14 NRSV
