Pray
Ask people for:
a) updates on things youve previously prayed together about
b) prayer requests for people. Make a note in the space below so
you can followup next week.
Open by praying for things that have arisen in your conversations today,
then transition to praying for peoples requests.
Remember this week:
Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for
special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do
any good work . 2 Timothy 2:21
