God is Working While You Wait
Don’t wait alone. Be part of a growing community of women turning delays into purpose through prayer, encouragement, and real connection.
Whether navigating uncertainty, transition, or delay, we guide women in learning how to wait well, because waiting is not just about time passing; it's about becoming who God designed you to be in the in-between.
In this ministry, waiting becomes becoming.
We are a Christ-centered community devoted to helping women live their purpose during life's waiting seasons.
At While You Wait Ministries, we gather women longing for answers, healing, direction, or breakthrough. Find your circle of sisters offering encouragement, practical wisdom, and prayer.

Hi, I’m Rev. Dr. Lael C. Melville.
As the founder and CEO of While You Wait Ministry, and a fellow traveler on this faith journey, I am delighted to share a glimpse into the diverse experiences and passions that have shaped my path in leadership and service.
My journey has been one of deep purpose, driven by a desire to empower individuals and strengthen communities, always rooted in God's guiding hand.
about me
Purposeful. Connected. Anchored.
We help women turn waiting into preparation—with live touchpoints, real community, and Scripture-rooted resources.
We transform waiting from wasted time into sacred preparation. Join our live calls and replays with Dr. Melville and the WUW Leadership Team—designed to grow your faith, sharpen your purpose, and move you forward.
Experience Purpose in Real Time
Hard seasons feel lighter when you’re surrounded by people who get it. The HOPErs Community is where real women build real bonds through prayer, mentorship, and shared stories—not just likes and comments.
You Don’t Have to Wait Alone
When life feels uncertain, you need more than inspiration—you need something solid. Our guided prayers, biblical affirmations, and hope strategies are rooted in Scripture to help you stand firm in your waiting season.
Stay Anchored in Truth
In the quiet spaces of delay and disappointment, God is doing more than healing—He is preparing.
Sure Hope is a sacred space for women ready to lead from what once left them broken. If you’ve walked through the darkness and found light, this is where you learn how to carry it for others.
What Once Left You Waiting Can Now Be What Others Are Waiting For
Stories of Hope from Our Community
"Every minute of our time together has been meaningful and deeply personal."
The While You Wait Mentorship Program has been one of the most intentional and Spirit-led experiences I’ve encountered. Each session was not only well-structured, but also highly personalized—helping me grow both personally and professionally.
What made the greatest impact was the rhythm and accountability built into the program. Knowing I had a consistent cadence of sessions helped me move purposefully from one conversation to the next. The added structure of having an agenda and note-taking tools made each session even more effective.
I especially appreciated the personalized book recommendations and homework assignments. They weren't just generic resources—they were prayerfully selected to meet me where I was.
More than anything, this mentorship exceeded my expectations by being grounded in Scripture and fueled by faith. I came in seeking guidance for my next steps—but I left with renewed clarity, confidence, and trust in what God is doing in my life.
Dr. Lael Melville’s “yes” to this calling is intentional and powerful. I count it an honor to have been mentored by her."
