- Health
- Unsaved relatives
* Ask them to write out the Request on a special form
- Pray with them on the spot
- Add Requests to a list
* Tell them:
- Prayers will be lifted for 1 week only, because answers may be obtained
and the Church not know it.
- Re-Requests must be made to the church, there are forms in the Pews,
etc.
Try not to encourage phone calls, but let the Church
know on a Sunday morning when they come
- Ask that the church be informed of Answered Prayer, there are forms in
the Pews, etc.
- If Prospects do call in, switch them to an appointed person who knows

Good for One Week
Also inform them that the Request is only good for
that week and must be Re-Requested for next week and if answered,
the church wants to know.
Church person could use a Caller ID and obtain the
phone number of the person making the request. A Reverse Directory in any of the online Yellow Pages
can produce an address for a land line, not cell phones. This could
be used for follow-up.
