Calico, are you aware of the massive prayer circles at www.beliefnet.com? (There is a member there with the name Calico, I believe.)

At Beliefnet, one can post a prayer request and watch the replies pile in, in a thread, just like here. E-cards, pictures, etc. can also be posted there. On B'net's home page there are notices of new or active prayer circles that attract people to prayer needs-- in other words, the prayer chain does not depend upon people knowing either the person who needs prayer or the one who requested it.

Also, the B'net prayer circles include a feature of being able to e-mail the prayer right off Beliefnet out through one's personal e-mail address list.
