<< When my church has prayer request time, it take a good 5+
minutes just to go through all the request. That doesnt even include
the prayer or annointing of anyone who comes forward. When that
time comes, you can count at least 8-10 people coming forward. >>
Our pastor asks everyone with a special request to raise their hand and
God knows what we are praying for...takes about 5 seconds...
We restrict testimonies to night service only...visitors usually don't
come then and "we" understand long-winded testimonies.
At our Illinois Council meeting one time, a brother was testifying a bit
too long, so the praise conductor started singing an appropriate
song.."He's done so much for me, I cannot tell it all"
