A post card is sent to each person(s) on the list telling them they are being prayed for by the group and that they will be contacted by one of the group members who will be personally praying for them during the week. We would like to encourage anyone who feels led by thee Lord to be a part of our group. People who are unable to leave their homes but could make calls are encouraged to join us and pray at home.
