Prayer request tracking for churches
Prayer requests need more than a list. Churches need to know what can be shared, what should stay private, who should follow up, and when the request needs review.

Best fit
- Prayer requests arrive through cards, forms, emails, texts, and conversations.
- Some requests should be public, some should be limited, and some should stay pastoral.
- Requests need follow-up instead of only appearing once on a list.
Keep using
- Existing prayer forms and prayer-chain habits
- Bulletin or weekly email wording when appropriate
- Pastor, elder, or prayer-team discernment
- Church policies for confidentiality and permissions
TendWell adds
- Shared prayer wording next to private pastoral context
- Review prompts for stale or unresolved requests
- Follow-up tasks connected to the person or household
- Exports that avoid private context
The question is not which system wins.
The better question is which job each system should do, and whether active pastoral care needs a dedicated weekly rhythm.
Decision area
Broad church system
TendWell
Collection
Cards, forms, emails, calls, texts, or ChMS forms.
Bring the request into one reviewable care story.
Sharing
Often depends on who copied the wording and where it was pasted.
Separate public wording from private context before anything leaves the workspace.
Follow-up
Can get separated from the request itself.
Create the next action with owner and date.
Review
Requests can linger unless someone remembers to revisit them.
Surface requests that need update, closure, or continued care.
Start small
Do not migrate the whole church first. Use one active care list.
Protect context
Public prayer wording and private pastoral context should remain distinct.
Review weekly
The test is whether the next faithful action is easier to see after one church week.
Trial-ready in one church week
Turn prayer requests into careful follow-through.
Use TendWell to keep prayer wording, private context, and next actions in the same weekly care rhythm.
