Be a Prayer Team Member
SYMin clients are sharing more prayers than ever before, creating a need for more prayer team members. SYMin sends prayer requests by email one at a time in round-robin fashion, and prayer members get requests about every three weeks. To maintain this frequency, we need more prayer team members.
