When I was growing up in Rock Island, anyone who set foot inside the Nazarene Church for any reason, but didn't "get saved" and become a member, was placed on the Prospect List.
Even if they just came for Vacation Bible School, or to cheer for a friend at a Jump Quiz Tournament.
They stayed on that list forever, unless they asked to be removed or the Church Board decided to purge the list of names from many years ago.
Every August, about a month before the fall revival, our Sunday school teacher gave each of us the contact information for 10 age- and -gender appropriate Prospects. We were supposed to make it our business to "win them for the Lord," or at least invite them to church.
During the next month, we received 1 point for each Prospect that we prayed for, 2 points for each letter or post card, 5 points for each telephone call, and 10 points for each in-person visit, plus an extra 10 point if they actually came to church.
