Prodigal Groups A mom with a prodigal can feel isolated. Gathering together to pray can help break through the isolation. They may choose to pray with a school-specific Moms in Prayer group or they may form their own group. A Prodigals Group is two or more mothers in the same geographic area who meet to pray for their prodigal children and the schools they attend. In keeping with the mission of Moms in Prayer International, if the children are not attending a school, choose a school in their area which does not have its own Moms in Prayer group or the child’s alma mater and pray on behalf of the teachers, the administration, and students during intercession.
