I was a stranger and you welcomed me

We have a great prayer community who diligently pray for our prayer chain requests however, we are weak on the follow up. Be part of a team that will personally connect to those who make a prayer request from our congregation. Make a call, send a card, text, email.... Be sure they know BLC is praying for them. Wouldn't it be great if we could offer to be in prayer for our BELC families??
