Prodigal Daughters exists to share the life of Christians as we seek Jesus daily, as we fail, as we love, as we go about life and face the ups and downs. Luke 15: 11-32 tells the story of the Prodigal Son and we know as Christians that we can be much like the Prodigal Son, and the Jealous son, but God is the father either way. Come with us on our journey as we live life and talk about Jesus.
