Can someone else (other than the Lead Pastor) respond to Prayer Requests?

Yes! Every single potential visitor wants to know two things – who’s the pastor and who are the people? So you answer the question before it’s asked. Here’s how you’d handle that. The person sends a message saying, Hey, Pastor John, my wife is having surgery. Can you pray for her? 

The respondent says, “Hi Dave! I’m Susan, and I’m on the prayer team at ___ church. Pastor John asked me to reach out to you just so I could pray for you personally, so let’s pray…”

Then Pray and end the Audio Prayer with the question: “We are having church this Sunday @ 10 am - can you make it?”
