Survey the people of the neighborhood or community and make a list of those interested in receiving prayers from the group. With the list of addresses of those interested, at the end of a period of at least two weeks, send a letter offering Bible studies and invite them to a special program of the club or the church.

Maintain a list of e-mails and phone numbers of members of your club and church. During church prayer services, list each new request and send messages to group members to pray in order to form a prayer network.

Ask if they feel like returning and invite them to return to the club.
