(those receiving Assurance or Salvation)

   - 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 as answers are obtained the Church not know it.
  - Re-Requests must be made to the church, there are forms in the Pews, Lobby, etc., and can be obtained when visiting.

Try not to encourage phone calls, but let the Church know on a Sunday morning when calls come-in.

Good for One Week
Also inform prospects 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.
