Afterwards, we add their names to our daily prayer list. We keep folks on that prayer list for as long as needed or until we get an update. If they don\u2019t contact us, we contact them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We think it\u2019s very important to pray immediately for someone, because that\u2019s the day the Holy Spirit sends them to us and the very best time to ask the Holy Spirit to give them favor.
