Recently I was reminded of this when I was speaking at a church in Mansfield, Ohio. I did a
seminar on prayer evangelism. Afterwards the pastor held up a thick stack of orange cards. Each
card had the name of a parishoner, and five names of people for whom that person was praying for
their salvation. The pastor reminded the people that the cards were kept at the church and
brought out every Wednesday night during the church's corporate prayer meeting.

I recommend a twist on this. Develop a simple post-card sized prayer list that includes a simple
scripture (perhaps 1 Timothy 2:1-4) related to evangelism and prayer. Then put something like:

My Name: _________________________

The People I am committed to praying for their salvation:

1. __________________

2. __________________

3. __________________

4. __________________

5. __________________

Duplicate this four times on the page. Then cut the page in half. Hand out one side (two postcard
lists) to each individual in your congregation. Have each person fill out both cards the same.
Then have them cut the cards apart. Instruct them to hand one card in to you. The other should be
put someehere the person will see it each day (can be carried in a pocket, put in their Bible
[make it the bookmarker where they are leaving off each day] tape it to their bathroom mirror
etc.--somewhere where they will see it everyday). Instruct them to pray for the people each day.

Challenge them that they and their names will be prayed for in your weekly prayer meetings. Then
take your cards and make sure they are regularly brought before the Lord in your prayer
gatherings.
