Staff members: 1) channel the activities of 108,415 "prayer partners" in the U.S.; 2) keep tab on 158,817 prayer partners in 48 other countries; 3) ride herd on the "active" cooperating ministers, the "partial-supporting" ministers and the "undecided" ministers; 4) process applications for blocks of seats ("Lancaster, Pa. wants...
