Share that each prayer request will be kept in strictest of confidence. Write down the requests in their guide. Tell the neighbor/other that each day at a certain time they will be praying for their needs and would like to contact them regularly for updates, more requests, and how God has answered their prayers. Ask when would be the best time and the best way to contact them for updates. It may be a visit, phone call, or . After each contact, intercessors will fill out or update the information they have received in the prayer guide. During week 5, as relationships are created, the intercessors will invite the neighbors to a special church event. This may be a block party, a special sermon series, concert, and so on. The participants may also invite them to their home for an informal dinner or for coffee, or some other event. Participants will have been trained in personal evangelism and will be sensitive to opportunities to share Christ. 4
5 How to use the Guide Each participant will be given a Guide. There is important information/records to be filled out for each of the five neighbors. Contact Information is to be gathered as completely as possible. This is important for future contact/updates with the neighbor. Best Way to Contact may be an , phone call, visit, and so on. The time and date should be very convenient for the neighbor. Prayer Requests that each neighbor shared are listed, along with the date they are received. This information should be filled out as completely as possible in order to recall the specific prayer need over the course of the six weeks. How God answered prayer is a record of how God responded to the neighbor s prayer request. This is the most important section of the Prayer Guide. As God has answered prayer, the participant should celebrate with the neighbors! 5
